Dortmund remains close on Bayern’s heels – Wolfsburg falls to HSV!
Things remain exciting in the Bundesliga! Borussia Dortmund defended second place with a win against VfL Wolfsburg on September 21, 2025, showing its unbeatability. With a narrow 1-0 win over the Wolves, Dortmund remains in contact with league leaders FC Bayern Munich, who beat Hoffenheim 4-1 and are therefore two points ahead. Sports News reports that the decisive goal was scored by Karim Adeyemi in the 20th minute, which was a cause for celebration for Dortmund fans. At the same time, Wolfsburg experienced a bitter premiere: it was their first defeat of the season.
Interestingly, there was also a new star in the sky for Wolfsburg. Christian Eriksen came into the game as a substitute and celebrated his debut. Meanwhile, Bayer Leverkusen's worries continue to plague them. The team only managed a 1-1 draw against Borussia Mönchengladbach, although Malik Tillman opened the scoring in the 70th minute. But the celebration didn't last long as Gladbach equalized in stoppage time through Haris Tabaković. Yahoo Sports mentioned that Leverkusen are currently in 11th place and still have a long way to go.
Union Berlin is causing a stir
The game between Union Berlin and Eintracht Frankfurt was a real hit. Union triumphed 4-3 and climbed to 10th place in the table. Player Oliver Burke stole the show with a hat-trick that sent fans into a frenzy. He scored his first goal in the 32nd minute and put his team on the road to victory. But Frankfurt didn't give up and scored a goal through Nathaniel Brown shortly before half-time. Nevertheless, it was another bitter disappointment for Eintracht in the end as they were unable to catch up despite another goal from Can Uzun.
As is well known, Bayern Munich, the record champions of the Bundesliga, also dominated last season, where they unassailably consolidated first place. Statista shows that the league, since its founding in the 1963/1964 season, still has its finger on the pulse with 18 teams. Not to be forgotten is Bayer Leverkusen's spectacular title win in the 2023/2024 season, which led them to the first championship title in the club's history, a fact that always amazes spectators and fans.
It remains to be seen whether Dortmund can maintain their form and put Bayern under pressure while the other teams fight for important points and positions in the table. The next match day promises great excitement again!
