Dresden are pretty spent The Saxons don't appear to have much left in the tank - they seem to have well and truly run themselves into the ground.

Saved! Klemens tries his luck from distance, but Schreiber pulls off a one-handed save and tips the ball over the bar. The subsequent corner kick poses no danger.

Row Z Following a corner kick, Pedersen has a go from distance, but he blazes the ball well over the bar.

Into stoppage time There are going to be five additional minutes of stoppage time. Can Dresden conjure up an equaliser?

The goalscorer departs The impressive Thorsteinsson is substituted off. The Icelander has scored twice as many goals today as in his previous 33 second division matches combined and may well have helped the Berliners secure all three points today.

The best attack in the league Berlin have now scored 17 goals this season, which is currently the best record in Bundesliga 2.

⚽ 80' Jón Dagur Thorsteinsson (1-2)

Alfa-Ruprecht again Once again the Berlin player drives into the opposition's penalty area from the right and shoots. Schreiber, however, spreads himself wide and blocks the shot in the one-on-one. Seconds later Pedersen tries his luck from distance, but it goes wide.

Good start from the sub Alfa-Ruprecht gets an early effort in from a tight angle on the right side, but Schreiber is there and makes the save. The closing stages are now upon us.

Fresh legs Both teams make substitutions, and Hertha in particular have brought on some pacey players as they hunt for a winner.

Nilsson with another attempt This time the Hertha player gets a shot off from the right side of the penalty area, but Schreiber is well-positioned at his post and saves with his right hand.

Beautiful move Thorsteinsson plays a backheel pass down the left flank to Brekalo, whose cross finds Nilsson in the middle. However, the Dresden defence recovers and blocks the shot.

Another big chance Now Dresden get a sniff at goal: Bobzien drives into the Berlin penalty area down the left and tries to cut the ball back into the middle. Gersbeck blocks the pass with his foot, snuffing out the danger.

Brekalo impressing Brekalo has been convincing so far, managing to skilfully escape from 75 percent of his 16 situations under pressure from opponents. He almost had an assist to his name as well, but the goal by Adewumi was disallowed.

Chance squandered by Dresden Vermeij and Bobzien have seemed like they're not on the same page at times tonight. The Dutchman tries to play his team-mate through, but he hadn't anticipated the pass and it goes to waste.

Half-chance for Hauptmann Rossipal crosses from the left to the penalty spot, where Dynamo's captain Hauptmann cannot get a proper touch on the ball. The Berlin defence manages to clear.

The ball is rolling again! The second half is underway at Rudolf-Harbig-Stadion!

Stunning Strike Adewumi lets fly with a volley from almost 20 yards and tests Schreiber, who manages to palm the ball away with a diving save.

Almost 2-1! Grønning heads a Thorsteinsson cross past Schreiber but Straudi chases the ball down and is able to make a last-ditch clearance.

Bobzien! He forces a save from Gersbeck with a fierce shot from distance.

That was close Pedersen bundles Bobzien over as he races towads goal and the the home fans call for a red card. The referee only brandishes a yellow much to their frustration.

Headed clear Bobzien's sharp cross from the left flank is cleared by a Hertha head inside the penalty area.

There's the equaliser! Thorsteinsson lets fly and hits a clever low effort back across goal into the bottom corner from outside the area, wrongfooting the 'keeper to draw the sides level.

⚽ 29' Jón Dagur Thorsteinsson (1-1)

Close! A cross from Straudi on the right is slightly too quick for Vermeij, who can only get a toe to the ball in the centre of the box.

Offside Thorsteinsson gets a chance to shoot from inside the area, but is called offside after sending his attempt well wide of the far post.

Gersbeck on his toes Dresden attempt a counter-attack, but Hertha's keeper is alert to the danger. He comes off his line and heads a long ball clear into touch.

Hertha press forward The hosts have maintained possession in the Dresden half and look like they're growing into the game.

Cleared Thorsteinsson has a go from distance, but a Dresden player is in his way and blocks the effort.

Čović follows Lasogga He's netted only the second home goal Dresden have ever scored against Hertha, and the first was also scored by a Berliner. In March 2013, an own goal by Pierre-Michel Lasogga secured a 1-0 win for Dynamo.

Hertha in a state of shock Dresden are in control of proceedings at the moment, with the visitors yet to get out of the blocks.

⚽ 10' Patrice Čović (1-0)

First corner Rossipal flies down the left flank and whips a ball into the Hertha penalty area. Kolbe is alert and clears at the cost of a corner.

Feeling each other out Both sides are focused on keeping the ball and getting a bit of a foothold in the game.

We're underway! The visitors get the action started.

Dresden subs Bethke, Müller, Sterner, Raschl, Lemmer, Fröling, İnanoğlu, Okpala, Daferner

Hertha subs Goller, Dárdai, Klemens, Zeefuik, Gouram, Telib, Nilsson, Schuler, Alfa-Ruprecht

Hello and welcome! Welcome along and thanks for joining us for build-up and live coverage of this Matchday 6 fixture between Dynamo Dresden and Hertha Berlin.

Blocked Vagnoman sets up Pejčinović on the edge of the box. He shoots, but Bensebaini is in the way.

Added time Stuttgart have just three minutes to salvage something.

Not enough power Pejčinović and Mittelstädt combine neatly down the right before the latter dinks a ball to the back post. Sauer gets his head to the cross, but he can't generate the necessary power to beat Kobel.

Changes from both sides Nartey and Sauer enter the action for Stuttgart, with Bensebaini and Sabitzer on for Dortmund.

Side netting Karetsas finds Silva and he gets into the box before shooting into the side netting from a tight angle.

Half a chance Mittelstädt suddenly has space on the left and he could shoot, but he looks for the cross, and Schlotterbeck sweeps the ball clear.

Stuttgart chances First Vagnoman is denied from the angle and then El Khannouss hits a volley that Kobel also saves.

Prömel heads wide El Khannouss finds Vagnoman on the right, and he sends in a cross that is met by the head of Prömel, but it goes wide. That was a good chance.

Inches away A Stuttgart corner is flicked into a dangerous area, but no one is there to poke the chance home. Nmecha then breaks forward with the ball for Dortmund and gets away from Stiller before slotting the ball across for Karetsas. He dips back in on his left before firing in a low shot that just misses the near post.

⚽ 70' Maximilian Beier (0-1)

Wardrobe malfunction During a battle with Leweling Ryerson had his shorts ripped and now he has had to leave the pitch briefly to change.

More good defending from Chabot Guirassy works his way into the box before trying to shoot, but Chabot gets a leg in the way once again.

Stuttgart changes Leweling and Pejčinović are on for the hosts.

Beier denied Schlotterbeck nods a free-kick down into the path of Beier, whose effort is charged down on the penalty spot.

Karetsas returns Dortmund make a double change with Bellingham and Karetsas coming on for Veerman and Nwaneri. Great news for the young Greek after that recent health scare.

Chabot blocks Guirassy tries his luck from range, only to see Chabot get in the way.

The flag is up Undav slots the ball through for Vagnoman, who only has Kobel to beat, but he can't round Kobel. The flag then goes up, but it would have certainly been close had Vagnoman managed to convert.

Gadou picks up a yellow The Dortmund defender catches Mittelstädt a bit late and earns himself a booking.

Great recovery Dortmund almost combine neatly at one end, but Stuttgart pinch possession and counter. Demirović is free with only Schlotterbeck to beat, but he doesn't have the necessary pace. He instead finds Undav on the right, who then tries to whip the cross back in to Demirović, but Schlotterbeck gets back to head the ball behind.

It won't count Nmecha ball to Guirassy bobbles all the way through to Nwaneri in the box. He finishes clinically on the spin, but he was offside when the pass was played and judging from the lack of celebration, he knew the goal wouldn't count.

That could have been more Stuttgart try to play out from the back and lose the ball cheaply. Svensson seizes possession and looks for Nwaneri in the centre, and he is completely free with just the goalkeeper in front of him, but the pass has just too much on it for the Englishman to gather, and the ball rolls through to Bredlow.

Great run, poor cross Dortmund counter through Nwaneri, and he does brilliantly to ride a few challenges and get into the box, but his chipped delivery is mishit and floats out for a goal kick. More could have come from that move.

Blocked Mittelstädt lines up a shot from the edge of the box and fires in a powerful strike that Gadou deflects behind for a corner.

Late Veerman slides in late and catches Stiller, earning himself a booking in the process.

Back underway The ball is moving in Stuttgart once again.

Important defending For a moment it looks as if Demirović might be able to get free, but Gadou slides across to make a great challenge.

Added time There'll be just one extra minute before the break.

Nmecha fires in a shot Bredlow has to come out to parry a cross in front of Guirassy, and the ball drops for Nmecha in the box. He drives a shot towards goal, but Stiller gets in the way.

Just wide Stuttgart combine neatly down the left as Mittelstädt is played in down the side. He stands up a cross towards the back stick, and El Khannouss gets the better of Svensson in the air, but his effort flies just the wrong side of the post.

A Dortmund booking Schlotterbeck slides in and catches Demirović on the ankle. That is already the third booking of the game.

Over the bar Nmecha does well to beat a man before Undav brings him to ground right on the edge of the Stuttgart penalty area. Veerman steps up to take the free-kick, but he can't get the necessary whip on the shot, and the effort clears the bar by a decent margin.

Guirassy heads wide Nwaneri's corner is met by Guirassy at the back post, but he can't quite guide his header into the corner.

Important defending Dortmund send the ball out to Ryerson on the right and he drills in a low cross towards Guirassy. Mittelstädt gets a toe to the initial delivery in front of the Guinean before Chabot knocks the ball behind for a corner.

Blocked Nwaneri bursts forward down the right and tries his luck, but his shot is immediately charged down.

Decent opportunity Veerman's corner is met by Schlotterbeck in the middle though he doesn't connect cleanly, and his header drifts wide of the far post. That looked a decent opportunity.

Another booking Stiller hauls Nmecha to the ground and also picks up a yellow card.

Demirović denied Stuttgart press Dortmund high from a goal kick and it works as a loose pass lands at the feet of Demirović on the edge of the box. He tries to whip an effort towards the far corner, but Kobel makes the stop.

Vagnoman misses the target Stuttgart play through the Dortmund press superbly, and Vagnoman is fed on the right. He dips inside and shoots with his left, but misses the target by some margin.

Demirović in the book The Stuttgart striker has been very fired up early on here, and after battling through a couple of challenges, he lunges in on Anton and catches him on the ankle. The ref shows him a yellow card.

Bredlow takes a bump The goalkeeper takes his time picking up the ball and Ryerson goes for it, bumping the goalkeeper in the process.

Mittelstädt fires over Stuttgart's first corner is cleared out as far as Mittelstädt. He hits the ball first time on the volley, but his shot flies wide.

Big chance Ryerson has space to cross on the right and it is a good delivery. Beier is there in the centre, and he dives in to head the ball ahead of Vagnoman, but gets it horribly wrong, missing the target by some margin from close range.

Almost a way through Anton volleys the ball back into the danger zone and Beier almost squeezes his way through, but Bredlow gathers.

We're underway Dortmund get the ball moving in Stuttgart.

Dortmund subs Meyer, Bensebaini, Reggiani, Bellingham, Chukwuemeka, Karetsas, Sabitzer, Silva, Inácio

Stuttgart subs Funk, Hendriks, Al-Dakhil, Spalt, Nartey, Karazor, Sauer, Leweling, Pejčinović

Hello and welcome! Welcome along and thanks for joining us for build-up and live coverage of this Matchday 4 fixture between VfB Stuttgart and Borussia Dortmund.

⚽ 90+3' Mitchell Weiser (3-2)

Bremen survive The referee awards Bremen a free-kick for a foul in the area and the hosts can breathe a sigh of relief.

Chance to deliver Musah brings down Behrens and Augsburg have a chance to test the Bremen defence from a set-piece.

Scooped over Grüll's low cross finds Friedl in space by the penalty spot but he gets right underneath the ball and it flies well over.

⚽ 86' Niclas Füllkrug (2-2)

Dahmen receives treatment He appears to have injured his hand and play is halted.

End-to-end There very well could be more drama before the final whistle, as both sides continue to throw everything they've got at each other.

Double chance! Weiser finds himself one-on-one with Dahmen, who spreads himself well to save. The rebound falls to Chuki, whose shot is blocked by Matsima.

⚽ 66' Marco Grüll (1-2)

Wide of the mark Fellhauer leads a counter and feeds Ribeiro to his left, whose curling effort goes comfortably wide of the far post.

Great chance! Reis receives the ball on the turn inside the box and has a clear sight of goal, but he snatches at his shot which bobbles into the hands of Dahmen.

⚽ 58' Calvin Brackelmann (0-2)

Top save! Claude-Maurice tries to bend his shot into the near top corner, forcing Hein into a brilliant fingertip save.

Triple change Augsburg look to the bench in their attempt to regain some control over this game.

Dinkçi from range He looks to guide one into the bottom corner but his effort zips narrowly past the post.

Back at it Just like the end of the first-half, it's the hosts who are on the front foot.

We're back! The ball is rolling again in Bremen.

Piling on the pressure Within the space of a few minutes, Reis saw his shot from inside the box blocked, Grüll's inviting cross evaded his teammates inside the six-yard area and Chuki volleyed wildly over following a corner.

Scrappy Neither side is taking great care of the ball in the closing stages of the half.

Collision Friedl and Gregoritsch collide in competing for a header and the Augsburg man requires treatment.

Nicely worked Arthur fizzes a ball into Füllkrug at the front post, who lays it off for the arriving Dinkçi. He looks to place the ball in the bottom corner but sees his effort blocked.

Early setback Bremen switched off for just a second, but that was all it took for Augsburg to punish them.

⚽ 18' Robin Fellhauer (0-1)

Finding their feet The hosts are enjoying a spell of possession after a hectic first few minutes.

In the driving seat It's the visitors who have controlled the opening exchanges.

Off we go! Bremen get the game underway.

Augsburg subs Labrović, Gouweleeuw, Seol, Ribeiro, Keitel, Claude-Maurice, Bah, Ogundu, Ibrahimović

Bremen subs Schlager, Wójcik, Stark, Weiser, Stalmach, Itten, Musah, Schmetgens, Erevbenagie

Hello and welcome! Welcome along and thanks for joining us for build-up and live coverage of this Matchday 4 fixture between Werder Bremen and Augsburg.

Added time There will be three additional minutes.

Ache pulls one back The visitors finally have a goal, and it comes through substitute Ache, who heads Skhiri's cross into the bottom corner. It could be a nervy couple of minutes for Hamburg now.

⚽ 90' Ragnar Ache (2-1)

Poulsen fires wide Vieira fizzes a low pass into Poulsen in the box. He turns and looks to shoot, but he never really gets set, and his shot is off target.

Daka looks to add a third The Hamburg striker fires a loose ball in the box towards goal, but it's blocked.

Another booking Skhiri is cautioned for bringing down Daka on the edge of the box.

Final roll of the dice Bülter and Waldschmidt are on for the visitors as they search for a way back into the game.

Vieira tests Schwäbe Vieira tries his luck from the free-kick and it is an awkward one for Schwäbe as the strike gets some added dip via the wall, but he makes the stop.

Too strong from Poulsen The Hamburg forward does brilliantly to hold off Jóhannesson before being hauled to the ground.

Ache this time And the shot is blocked yet again.

Blocked again Jóhannesson becomes the latest Cologne player to have a shot from outside the box blocked.

Inches away El Mala tries his luck from the edge of the box, and via a deflection off Lochoshvili, the ball bounces away off the outside of the post.

Charged down Maina chops onto his left and shoots, but his effort is immediately blocked by Remberg.

Poulsen denied The Dane stands up and beats Lochoshvili on the edge of the area before trying to poke the ball past Schwäbe, but the Cologne goalkeeper stands up big and makes the save.

Cologne changes Sosa and Ache are on for Mensah and Dallinga. Can they help the visitors find a way back into the game?

Vieira denied The Portuguese midfielder bursts forward and drives a shot towards goal. Fortunately for Schwäbe, the powerful strike is straight at him, and he can make the save.

Headed over Grønbæk whips in a free-kick, and Remberg is free in the centre. He meets the ball with his head, but he doesn't get the direction right at all.

Mensah fouls Vieira The Cologne fullback dives in to win the ball from Vieira, but gets it wrong and trips the Hamburg man. He gets a yellow card for his trouble.

El Mala denied Cologne come forward looking for a way back into the game and they almost find it immediately as El Mala pounces on a loose ball and fires in a low shot that Heuer Fernandes does well to parry clear.

⚽ 50' Yussuf Poulsen (2-0)

Almost a huge opportunity Schwäbe tries to clear, but his long ball forward pings off the back of a Cologne defender and almost lands at the feet of Grønbæk, but Schwäbe reacts quickly to shut down the chance.

Moore misses a great opportunity El Mala skins Torunarigha on the left flank and fires in a low cross to Dallinga. His effort is blocked, but the ball bounces loose to Moore right in front of goal, though the Englishman is unable to convert on the half-volley.

Back underway The ball is moving once again in Hamburg.

Added time Just the two extra minutes before the break.

⚽ 44' Nicolás Capaldo (1-0)

Best chance so far Mensah has space on the left to send in a cross and Dallinga is there to meet it from just a few yards out, but he can't find a corner and that allows Heuer Fernandes to react quickly to make the save from close range. That should have been the opener.

El Mala denied The tricky winger picks up a loose ball on the left, sprints inside and fires an effort towards the far corner that brings a good save out of Heuer Fernandes.

Not far away Cologne break and a cross is whipped in from the right that just narrowly avoids the head of El Mala. In his desperation to get on the end of that, the young winger ended up falling over the advertising boards.

Blocked Vieira cushions down a high ball with his chest and shoots quickly, but his shot is swept away.

Out for a throw El Mala does brilliantly initially to beat a couple of players to create shooting space, but his eventual shot is horribly mishit and ends up going out for a throw.

Simple stop Grønbæk wins Hamburg a free-kick in a decent position and Vieira decides to try his luck. The shot has power to it, but Schwäbe has a lot of time to get across and make the save.

Treatment needed Heuer Fernandes is down with a knock and is getting medical treatment. That isn't what the hosts need.

Wide The corner is cleared only as far as Moore, but his effort bobbles well wide.

Decent hit Moore picks up the ball on the left and jinks his way inside to the edge of the box before whipping in a curling effort towards the far post that Heuer Fernandes has to tip behind for a corner.

Danger signs Simpson-Pusey goes on a mazy run, and Cologne just about hold onto possession. Moore then receives the ball on the edge of the box and tries to slip it through to Dallinga. The Cologne striker is just inches away from connecting, but Capaldo recovers well to make a vital challenge.

A rare threat from the hosts Hamburg win their first corner of the game and it is an awkward one to defend that is headed back and forth before being cleared.

Half chance Maina sends in a corner, and Lochoshvili meets it with his head from a good position, but his effort deflects off Torunarigha and bounces behind for another corner. That second set-piece leads to nothing.

First card of the game Grønbæk slips whilst trying to close down Castro-Montes and accidentally catches the Cologne defender. The referee decides the challenge warranted a booking.

Side netting And suddenly there is the first shot of the match as Maina slots through a neat pass for Dallinga. He shoots from a tight angle, but his effort hits the side netting.

Slow start A few soft fouls and a couple of misplaced passes have summed up the opening five minutes.

We're underway The ball is moving in Hamburg. Can the hosts get their first league goal of the season, or will Cologne pile on more misery?

Players on the pitch Both sets of players walk out onto the pitch to the backdrop of Hamburg's club song. Kick-off is now just moments away.

Vieira to kickstart Hamburg's season? The Portuguese midfielder is the last Hamburg player to score a league goal, having bagged on the last match day of the 2025/26 season against Bayer Leverkusen. A goal for Hamburg today would be exactly what they need after a poor start to the campaign.

Hamburg subs Tangvik, Nandja, Lemke, Adeline, Nadir, Stange, Jatta, Poulsen, Daka

Cologne subs Zieler, Schmid, Sosa, Sebulonsen, Jóhannesson, Thielmann, Waldschmidt, Ache, Bülter

Hello and welcome! Welcome along and thanks for joining us for build-up and live coverage of this Matchday 4 fixture between Hamburg and Cologne.

⚽ 90+5' Shūto Machino (P) (3-4)

Six mins of added time Six minutes to go at Borussia-Park.

⚽ 89' Danny da Costa (2-4)

Two yellows for frustrated Gladbach players Stöger and Mohya both find their way into the ref's book.

Five mins to go! Can Gladbach snatch a late equaliser?

⚽ 78' Eric Martel (2-3)

Nicolas stops Tietz's header Potulski finds Mwene, and his long ball reaches Tietz, whose header is saved by Nicolas.

Couple of changes for Mainz Mainz make a double substitution, bringing on Martel and Da Costa.

⚽ 59' Isac Lidberg (2-2)

Penalty to Gladbach! Tietz is guilty of a handball in the box, and the referee awards a penalty to the Foals!

Mainz continue to dominate The 05ers have had a confident start to the second half, and look more likely to add to the scoresheet right now than their hosts.

The second half is underway! The next goal could be decisive here at Borussia-Park.

Nicolas prevents Becker from grabbing a second! Lidberg's pass goes astray, allowing Sano to launch a long ball toward Becker. Nicolas is alert to the danger, however, and makes the save.

⚽ 45+1' Sheraldo Becker (1-2)

Five mins of added time We're going to have an additional five minutes at Borussia-Park.

Becker impressing Sheraldo Becker has had a good first half - remarkably, he's been able to successfully break free from 100 percent of his pressure situations today, and 90 percent of his passes under pressure have found a teammate.

Mwene's header misses the target Tietz picks out Becker on the right flank. Becker delivers a cross into the area, finding Mwene, but he steers his header wide!

Schwolow stops Bolin's effort Lidberg and Neuhaus combine to set up Bolin, who fires an attempt towards goals. It's a decent opportunity, but Schwolow gathers comfortably.

Potulski's header goes over Caci whips in a cross from the right, but Potulski's header doesn't have the required accuracy and flies over the bar.

Nicolas saves from Becker Sano links up with Potulski, who passes to Gruber. The ball reaches Becker, but his shot is kept out by Nicolas.

Terrific Tietz Including the DFB-Pokal, Tietz has now scored 8 goals in 5 competitive matches this season - impressive!

⚽ 18' Phillip Tietz (1-1)

Schwolow denies Lidberg! Honorat swings in a corner from the right and Lidberg meets it with a header. Schwolow is equal to it, however, and makes the save.

⚽ 11' Florian Neuhaus (1-0)

Lidberg gets in the way Sano intercepts Sander's pass and attempts a quick shot from outside the box, but Lidberg blocks it.

Gladbach with a back three today Nineteen-year-old Jan Leszczyński has had a few touches early on. He's playing in the middle of a back three for Gladbach today - a tactical switch that the interim coach has brought in for this encounter.

And we're off! The match gets underway at Borussia-Park. Let's hope it's a cracker!

Five mins till kick-off! Both teams are on the hunt for points...for very different reasons!

Mainz subs Kinzig, Martel, Bell, da Costa, Nakuzola, Maloney, Ruoppi, Königsdörffer, Hollerbach

Gladbach subs Batz, Herold, Hashioka, Chiarodia, Nguefack, Hack, Stöger, Mohya, Machino

Hello and welcome! Welcome along and thanks for joining us for build-up and live coverage of this Matchday 4 fixture between Borussia Mönchengladbach and Mainz.

Two minutes of stoppage time indicated Will we see any late drama?

Höler booked The substitute stops Uzun taking a quick free-kick, shortly before he is replaced in a pair of late Frankfurt changes.

Höler heads wide A chance for a winner! Grifo lofts a cross over from the left that the substitute meets in the box with a perfectly timed diving header - but sends the ball wide.

Late switch Julian Schuster brings on two fresh attackers for the final phase.

Matanović takes aim The former Frankfurt attacker turns and cracks an effort on goal from 20 yards out, but it is too tame to trouble Atubolu.

Heading towards a draw? The defences seem on top for now - possibly for the first time in this engaging encounter. Can either side force a winner?

Double change for Freiburg Julian Schuster replaces his wingers, as the impressive Scherhant and Beste are replaced by Grfio and Kübler.

Lienhart lets fly Lienhart smashes one off-target from the left. Either side could snatch the three points as we enter the final 20 minutes.

Uzun again Frankfurt continue to press as Can Uzun takes aim once more and steers another effort wide from distance.

Pair of chances for Frankfurt Backhaus denies Jonathan Burkardt from close range moments before Can Uzun clips a shot just wide. The hosts are looking the more likely side to score a third right now.

Change in dynamics Frankfurt have looked more comfortable on the ball in the second half, but Freiburg are still offering plenty of attacking punch.

Two changes for the Eagles Adi Hütter shuffles his attacking pack by bringing Knauff and Collins on.

Chances at both ends! Jordy Makengo sets up a shot from the edge of the box and fires off-target, before Ritsu Dōan sends a curling drive the wrong side of the post at the other end.

Højlund booked The half-time substitute fouls Scherhant in midfield and is shown a yellow card.

Scherhant into the side netting The new Germany call-up gets the ball down the left again and gallops inside before sending a powerful shot into the side netting.

Super Scherhant The 23-year-old winger has gained two goal involvements in a Bundesliga match for the first time.

⚽ 48' Yuito Suzuki (2-2)

We're back out The second half kicks off with the hosts introducing Oscar Højlund to the midfield.

Ginter chance Matthias Ginter strokes the ball wide from around the penalty spot as Freiburg look to respond - this is breathless stuff!

⚽ 36' Jonathan Burkardt (2-1)

⚽ 34' Derry Scherhant (1-1)

Beste denied Matanović slips a brilliant ball down the right for Beste to chase and set up a shot on goal from a promising position - but Atubolu reaches down to tip it behind with another good save. Engelhardt then heads wide from the near post from Beste's corner.

Lienhart looks for Suzuki Lienhart smashes a dangerous long pass forward for the Japanese attacker to chase, but Brassier does brilliantly to tip the ball behind for a corner before Suzuki can reach it.

Atubolu denies Eggestein's effort Beste picks out Ginter with a pass, and Eggestein unleashes a shot from a tight angle on the right. Atubolu gets down to make a strong save.

Frankfurt pressing well For all Freiburg's possession, the hosts are putting them under pressure by closing them down so intently - with Aseko now giving away a free-kick in midfield.

Can Freiburg take that in their stride? The visitors began well and are continuing to control possession, even though the opener has naturally sent the home fans into full voice.

⚽ 10' Younes Ebnoutalib (1-0)

Early booking Raphael Onyedika goes into the referee's notebook after tripping Treu to stop a break.

Scherhant slips one wide Freiburg continue their strong start as Suzuki finds Scherhant, who fires from the left side of the box but sends his shot wide of the right post.

Ginter goes close Freiburg win an early corner, and Ginter meets Scherhant's delivery from the left, but his header drifts wide.

We're off! The hosts get us underway on a splendid late summer afternoon in Frankfurt.

Freiburg subs Müller, Kübler, Yilmaz, Günter, Rosenfelder, Grifo, Höler, Irié, Gotō

Frankfurt subs Santos, Otávio, Højlund, Knauff, Chandler, Götze, Amaimouni, Collins, Pimpong

Hello and welcome! Welcome along and thanks for joining us for build-up and live coverage of this Matchday 4 fixture between Eintracht Frankfurt and Freiburg.

Four minutes of added time Just like in the first half, there'll be four more minutes to play here at the end of the 45.

Match-winner Yardımcı? The striker scored in both matches against Lautern last season, but now looks like being the match-winner for the Red Devils this afternoon.

Running down the clock Kanaté trudges off the pitch, with Berisha on for the final minutes.

Fortress Betzenberg Kaiserslautern are the only side yet to concede a goal at home this season.

Off the post! Şahin shoots from distances, hitting the bottom of the far post with a sweetly struck effort.

Tazemeta again! Hoffmann is out quickly to smother the forward's finish after Lautern managed to unlock the Braunschweig backline once again.

Almost an immediate response Mijatović aims for the bottom from the left-hand side of the box but Krahl is equal to it, pushing it out for a corner.

VAR intervenes Kanaté shoves Aydin in the build-up, which is why the goal is reviewed. However, there are no objections, and the goal stands!

GOOOOOOAL! It's Yardımcı against his former club! Krahl launches a counter attack and Braunschweig fail to clear their lines, and the Lautern striker gets on the end of the bouncing ball before lobbing the onrushing 'keeper.

⚽ 73' Erencan Yardımcı (1-0)

Kunze in the book The man who has only just come on as a substitute steps on Marie's foot and is immediately shown a yellow.

Haas tries his luck He hits one from range but his effort is tame and easily saved.

Double change for the hosts Robinson and Ritter are replaced by Kunze and Yardımcı as they continue their search for a goal.

Elvedi hobbling Elvedi requires treatment, but is able to continue playing.

Ehlers heads over Ehlers rises at the near post to meet a corner, nodding it onto the roof of the net from close range.

Clever from Katterbach He ushers the ball out of play under pressure from Gyamfi, allowing his side to reset.

Poor corner Opoku delivers the set piece from the left but gets it all wrong and sees it go out for a goal-kick on the far side.

Kanaté is at it The striker has had three shots on goal and has contested 23 duels so far. That is the most of any player.

Third substitution for the visitors Hoti, who was seen grabbing his thigh just before the break, has been replaced by Frenkert for the second-half.

The ball is rolling again The two sides are back at it.

Four more minutes There'll be a few more minutes for either side to try and find a goal.

Over the bar Kanaté receives the ball on the right side of the six-yard box, turns under pressure and gets a shot away, firing the ball over the crossbar.

Five minutes to go The first half is slowly drawing to a close. Will either of the two sides manage to score the opening goal before the half-time whistle?

Hard fought Katterbach wins the ball back from Joly before winning a free-kick, getting his side up the pitch and providing the opportunity to swing a cross in.

Kanaté in full stride He drives into the area before hitting one from close range, but once again it's too close to the 'keeper.

Joly with the spectacular He's first to recover the ball after Braunschweig clear from a corner, and almost lobs the 'keeper with a floating effort from long range.

Kanaté tries his luck He cuts inside before firing a low effort at goal, where Hoffmann saves comfortably.

Braunschweig at a disadvantage Urbich is unable to continue, the visitors are currently a man short.

Urbich has to depart Another injury concern for the visitors! The Gladbach loanee is also taken off due to injury.

Into the side netting Di Benedetto crosses from the right into the box and finds Opoku at the far post. The forward heads goalward from a tight angle, with his effort only finding the side netting.

Into the wall Ritter steps up to take the resulting free kick after the foul by Ehlers and blasts the ball into the wall.

First booking Ehlers blocks off Kanaté as he tries to enter the box, giving away a free-kick in a dangerous position and receiving a booking.

Brief debut Koutsidis's debut is already after nine minutes due to injury. Hoti comes on as a substitute for the Greek.

Koutsidis down The new man is sitting on the turf and needs treatment on his left thigh. It looks like the new signing will not be able to continue.

Krahl on his toes The Lautern 'keeper is quick off the mark, clearing a loose ball before the onrushing Urbich.

Too eager Kanaté is penalised for catching Ehlers in the back as he challenges for a header.

Katterbach recovers Joly bursts down the right flank but is chased down by Katterbach who recovers possession.

The match is underway! The ball is rolling here at the Betze.

Hoffmann milestone Koutsidis makes his debut for Braunschweig, while Lions goalkeeper Hoffmann makes his 100th appearance in Bundesliga 2 (98 for Braunschweig two for Schalke).

Robinson's first start The midfielder is named in the starting XI for the first time this season, having come off the bench in all three of his previous appearances in 2026/27.

Braunschweig subs Uphoff, Hoti, Di Michele Sanchez, Frenkert, Zé, Tempelmann, Sané, Wagner, Mijatović

Kaiserslautern subs Onohiol, Frees, Asta, Schramm, Sauer, Kunze, Luković, Berisha, Yardımcı

Hello and welcome! Welcome along and thanks for joining us for build-up and live coverage of this Matchday 6 fixture between Kaiserslautern and Eintracht Braunschweig.

Osnabrück once more Faber receives the ball on the right side of the penalty area and attempts to play it into the centre towards Kyereh. However, the cross does not find him and flies past.

Three minutes of addec time Will there be a winner for one of the sides?

Double substitution for Kiel as well Kvilitaia makes his debut. Ugoh is also a new addition. Sekine and Balzi have left the pitch.

Double substitution Meißner and Gómez have left the pitch. Opitz and Abu Hanna are now on for the final minutes for the visitors.

VfL at it again Meißner plays in Beck on the edge of the penalty area, who gets a shot off quickly. However, the effort goes too high.

Not enough Osnabrück combine well through the lines and Raimund has plenty of space on the right after the pass from Kyereh. However, he takes too long to pull the trigger and fails to get enough power behind his shot and it poses no problem for Weiner.

No problem for Krumrey Skrzybski pulls the trigger just outside the penalty area, but the ball lands straight in the arms of the goalkeeper.

Had to score! Osnabrück break on the counter and Meißner delivers a cross into the penalty area to the far post. Faber lays the ball off to Kyereh, who, unmarked in front of goal, heads wide to the left from just under three metres out.

Red card! Zec commits a tactical foul in midfield against Meißner and receives his second yellow card of the match! Kiel are now down to 10 men!

Double substitution Faber replaces Kammerbauer on the right flank and Raimund takes up one of the two positions behind the striker.

The equaliser! Gómez is played in on the left by Meißner and advances into the penalty area. The winger delivers the ball into the box and it is deflected into his own net by Sekine.

Foul Madsen stops Gómez with a shirt pull.

First substitution for Kiel The pacey De Regt kept the Osnabrück defence busy today and is now being taken off. Skrzybski gets his first outing of the season.

Risky! Meffert loses the ball to Jacobsen in his own penalty area, but Jacobsen is unable to take advantage.

Straight into the action The freshly substituted Kyereh is played in on the right side of the penalty area by Riesselmann. He plays the ball low into the centre. Before the overlapping Gómez can get to the ball, Weiner clears it with his foot.

First substitution Defensive midfielder Wagner leaves the pitch. Kyereh comes on as a playmaker in his place, to provide more creativity going forward.

Poorly played Kiel suddenly have plenty of space for the counter-attack, but can't make it count as De Regt's shot is blocked by the retreating Wiemann.

Good chance Riesselmann breaks through on the right and plays the ball low into the centre to Meißner, whose shot flies over the goal. However, the flag goes up shortly after, as Riesselmann was just offside when the ball was played.

Kiel again The hosts have come out of the dressing room looking somewhat more dangerous. Balzi plays in Kaprálik on the right flank, who manages to get the better of Gómez and then has a shot inside the penalty area. However, the ball flies wide of the right post.

Off target The hosts have the first chance of the second half, but Harres' header from a cross on the right lands wide of the goal.

The second half is underway Both sides resume unchanged.

⚽ 45+2' Phil Harres (P) (1-0)

Two minutes of injury time Will anything happen before the break?

Kiel again Found by Madsen, Davidsen gets a shot away. No problem low to his right for Krumrey.

Over the bar Kaprálik delivers a corner into the penalty area, but Meffert's header goes too high.

Krumrey saves Davidsen tries his luck from the edge of the penalty area, but the shot is too close to the goalkeeper.

Off target Beck tries his luck with a shot aimed at the keeper's corner, but the attempt goes wide to the right.

Blocked twice Both Gómez and Meißner have a go following the free-kick but are blocked each time. The former is then fouled just outside the penalty area for another free-kick in a promising position!

Cards continue to mount Sekine controls a high ball but then dawdles, allowing Beck to nip in, only to be tripped by the Kiel man.

No danger The corner can once again be cleared without any trouble. Still no real threat on goal.

Corner for Kiel The hosts are currently establishing themselves around the opposition's penalty area.

Big difference Kiel win the ball back on average after just seven seconds. The deep-lying Osnabrück, on the other hand, need a full 31 seconds to do so.

Tight contest Both sides are giving no quarter in the duels, though there is still room for improvement in terms of footballing quality.

Another yellow The fourth booking of the match and the third for Osnabrück. Wagner comes in late in a challenge on the touchline.

Kiel's turn now Harres tries his luck from a central position, but sends the ball well wide of the right post.

Danger... No Weiner clears a ball well out of his penalty area, but it falls to Beck at the centre circle. He looks to capitalise on the situation and shoots first time, but misses the goal by quite some distance.

Good effort! Osnabrück try to up the pace now. Gómez plays a low pass to Meißner on the edge of the penalty area. The attacker sets the ball up and tries his luck from left of centre with a shot into the near corner. However, Weiner manages to make the save.

Zec in the book too The first Kiel player to have his name taken, this time for simulation in the opposition box.

Next booking Gómez too will have to manage with a caution for the remaining 80 minutes.

Osnabrück quick to react The visitors lose possession just behind the halfway line during build-up and Kiel try to break quickly. But Osnabrück get back into their defensive shape in no time and the hosts ultimately lose the ball.

Sizing each other up The game is mainly taking place around the centre circle.

Cleared The subsequent free-kick poses no problem for the away side, who are able to quickly clear the ball from the danger zone.

Early booking Not even 20 seconds played and Fabinski pulls back Parduzi after losing possession. The Osnabrück defender will have to watch his step now.

The match is underway Osnabrück have kicked off.

Kick-off is imminent The teams are taking to the pitch.

A special match for Krumrey The goalkeeper is on loan at Osnabrück from Kiel.

First starts Madsen and de Regt, who both joined Kiel in the summer, are handed their full Bundesliga 2 debuts for the Storks.

Hello and welcome! Welcome along and thanks for joining us for build-up and live coverage of this Matchday 6 fixture between Holstein Kiel and Osnabrück.

Almost a second Nuremberg break and Ghrieb is given time and space to pull the trigger, but his shot is deflected wide by a Karlsruhe defender.

Into added time We're going to have three additional minutes.

Fresh legs Ghrieb and Haugen are on for the closing stages.

Nothing to lose Karlsruhe are throwing everyone forward in search of a late leveller.

Last roll of the dice Senft brings on Väänänen as the home side make their final change.

Outnumbered Wanitzek does well to keep hold of the ball down the left flank but is quickly surrounded by opposition defenders. Time is running out for the home side.

Nearly...! Lubach is about to unleash a shot deep inside the Karlsruhe penalty area but is crowded out in the nick of time.

Otto forced off The centre-back has picked up an injury and can't continue. Mandić is on for the closing stages.

Denied Ponente-Ramirez drives forward down the right before cutting inside and pulling the trigger, but his shot rebounds off a Nuremberg defender and bounces clear.

Karlsruhe pushing The home side are starting to take more risks in the final third. Can Nuremberg hold onto all three points?

Making his presence felt Eichinger is cautioned almost immediately after barging into Zoma.

Double-double change Héliton and Eichinger come on for Karlsruhe, while Bøving and Lubach enter the fray for Nuremberg.

First Nuremberg yellow Markhiyev catches Pinto Pedrosa from behind and becomes the first Nuremberg player to enter the referee's book.

Audacious effort A Nuremberg corner from the left lands at the feet of Becker, who tries to squeeze the ball inside the far post with a back-heel - but he fails to hit the target.

Substitute lets fly Ponente-Ramirez almost makes an immediate impact as his low shot from around 20 metres forces Reichert into a smart save.

Bright start Zoma drives forward down the left before laying the ball off to Becker, whose low delivery flashes across the face of goal and out of harm's way.

Back under way! Ponente-Ramirez and Trémoulet are on for the second half. Nuremberg are unchanged.

Into stoppage time One minute added on.

Blocked Fernández is next to try his luck from distance, but his shot comes off a Karlsruhe defender and bounces clear.

Booked Ofli scythes down Zoma and is promptly cautioned by the referee.

Wanitzek lets fly After winning the ball high up the pitch, the Karlsruhe captain finds a pocket of space to get a shot away but fails to hit the target.

There was more in that Wanitzek's free-kick finds Franke, whose header is held by Reichert.

⚽ 31' Mohamed Alì Zoma (0-1)

No complaints Franke accidentally catches Becker with a stray elbow and is shown the game's first yellow card.

Penalty appeal Markhiev was tussling with his marker inside the Karlsruher penalty area - but it wasn't enough to award a spot-kick.

Nuremberg establishing control Karlsruhe have gone closest to an opener but the home side have set up camp inside their own half, happy for Nuremberg to dictate possession in midfield.

Visitors battling for control Nuremberg have seen plenty of the ball so far as they look to stamp their authority on proceedings.

Off we go! Nuremberg get the action under way.

Six on the spin? Karlsruhe have won their last five home matches against Nuremberg, scoring 16 goals in the process. Can they make it six in a row this afternoon?

Nuremberg subs Lisewski, Ceresoli, Mandić, Heß, Soldić, Lubach, Ghrieb, Haugen, Bøving

Karlsruhe subs Himmelmann, Trémoulet, Scholl, Héliton, Civeja, Väänänen, Ponente-Ramirez, Davis Meyer, Eichinger

Hello and welcome! Welcome along and thanks for joining us for build-up and live coverage of this Matchday 6 fixture between Karlsruhe and Nuremberg.

Into added time There will be three extra minutes...

Gnabry has a go Some neat play from Brown down the left ends with Gnabry getting a shot away on the turn, but it's blocked before the goalkeeper needs to intervene.

Bischof fires over The midfielder takes a free-kick from the left-hand side of the Union box, but it's always rising and sails over.

⚽ 76' Michael Olise (7-0)

⚽ 73' Michael Olise (6-0)

⚽ 70' Ismael Saibari (5-0)

Saibari denied! A Bayern corner his hit deep towards the back post, where Saibari is completely unmarked. He flicks the ball goalwards but it's blocked on the line by Rothe. There's a VAR check for a possible handball, but the defender's block is deemed legal.

Kane denied a hat-trick! Musiala does superbly to control a long ball over the top and take it away from the onrushing Rønnow in one movement. He bides his time and then lays the ball off for Kane, whose first-time drive is blocked by a covering defender.

Double change for Bayern Díaz and Pavlović are given a breather by Kompany. It won't get any easier for Union though, with Bischof and summer signing Saibari now on.

Fresh legs With Bayern showing no sign of easing up, Union bring on another couple of substitutes in a bid to keep their intensity high.

⚽ 54' Harry Kane (4-0)

Neuer again! Union swing a corner into the Bayern box and Rothe rises above everybody else to meet it, but his thundering header draws another sensational save from Neuer.

Neuer... insane save! Union get forward down their left and the ball is crossed into the middle. Haberer is arriving and has a free shot at goal. Neuer is already moving in the opposite direction but still manages to get a foot on the ball to divert it wide!

More of the same Bayern go straight on the front foot once again, hemming Union back deep inside their own half.

Peeeeeep! Bayern get the ball rolling in the second half, one substitution from either side during the interval.

First Bayern booking Upamecano goes into the book for overreacting to the referee's whistle after a foul on Latte Lath.

⚽ 43' Michael Olise (3-0)

⚽ 39' Harry Kane (P) (2-0)

Penalty! Olise's trademark dummy draws the foul from Tom Rothe as the referee points straight to the spot. Uduokhai is booked for his protestations.

Sweeper-keeper Neuer charges out to almost halfway to make a perfectly timed challenge at the feet of Jeong. If he'd got that wrong, the Union forward would have had a free run on goal. That or Bayern's No1 might have been heading for an early bath.

Disallowed goal Pavlović rolls his marker and feeds Olise, who helps it on for Díaz. This time the Colombian gets beyond the last man before chipping a gorgeous finish over the goalkeeper - but the flag is up for a clear offside.

Tag-team action Trimmel and Querfeld double up on Díaz to prevent the Bayern forward going clean through on the Union goal after taking Olise's raking cross-field pass in his stride.

Chance! Stanišić makes another purposeful run into the penalty area as a ball is played over the top of the Union defence. He tries to turn it goalwards, but the advancing Rønnow makes the block.

⚽ 18' Jamal Musiala (1-0)

Right idea Kane's lurking as Stanišić advances into the Union penalty area. The Croatian swings in a cross, but it's hooked clear.

So far, so good It's been an encouraging start from Union. They're moving the ball out from the back pretty well.

Blurred vision Bayern are sporting their new Oktoberfest kit today – black with a blur of abstract flowers. Union, in their red home strip, will be hoping they don't get dizzy watching the home players swirl around.

Under way in Munich! Will leading 2026 Ballon d'Or candidate Harry Kane score his 100th Bundesliga goal? Stay tuned to find out...

Bayern subs Urbig, Kim, Gnabry, Bischof, Brown, Ito, Saibari, Ndiaye, Karl

Winding down the clock El Kadiri and Richter get some minutes. Damstadt can't wait for this one to end...

⚽ 79' Robert Glatzel (5-1)

Darmstadt come again Lee meets a cross from Vukotić, but heads just over.

⚽ 29' Milan Smit (1-1)

Out of nothing! Lee finds himself in time and space on the edge of the Wolfsburg area, and crashes a shot against the woodwork!

Great effort! The best player on the pitch by some distance, Reese sends a knuckle-ball attempt from 25 yards just over the crossbar.

Form player Bernhardsson already has two goals and two assists after six matches.

⚽ 14' Alexander Bernhardsson (1-0)

Under pressure Damstadt are having a lot of defending to do early on. They're struggling to get out of their own half.

Attacking promise Bernhardsson is sent in behind and pulls a cross back towards the edge of the penalty area, but Pfeiffer slides in to clear.

Kick-off! Darmstadt get the ball rolling in Wolfsburg.

Arnold waiting in the wings Wolfsburg club captain Maximilian Arnold has to settle for a place on the bench for the fifth time in six Bundesliga 2 games. His only start so far was in the 4-4 draw with Energie Cottbus on Matchday 4.

Kumbedi comeback Saël Kumbedi is passed fit after missing the last three games with a muscular complaint. Kilian Fischer is the man to make way at right-back.

Richter on the bench Marco Richter makes way in the second Darmstadt change. Nicolas Verkooijen gets the nod in attack.

Hello and welcome! Welcome along and thanks for joining us for build-up and live coverage of this Matchday 6 fixture between Wolfsburg and Darmstadt.

Two minutes added on 120 seconds of stoppage time will be played in Fürth. Will we see a late goal?

More to come? Both sides continue to struggle to create clear-cut chances.

Going long The visitors are bypassing the midfield with longer passes, which Fürth are dealing with well so far.

Tachie tests the 'keeper He charges goalward before unleashing a powerful right-footed shot, which Hellstern is just barely able to parry away.

Unwanted stat Fürth remain the only team that have never been in the lead at half-time this season.

We're underway again Fürth kick off.

Close! Nollenberger crosses into Zukowksi, whose acrobatic effort goes wide of the far post.

Appelkamp responds! The Fürth man receives the ball in the penalty area and attempts a delicate chip, which goes narrowly wide of the Magdeburg goal.

Zukowski! The Polish poacher skips into the penalty area on the right-hand side before aiming for the far corner, but Hellstern sticks out a foot to save.

Straight into the wall Michel steps up to try and bend a free-kick home, but drives the ball straight into the Fürth wall.

Heuer booked Heuer pulls down Kwarteng as he drives toward goal and picks up a deserved yellow.

Blank shoots wide The Fürth defender has plenty of space ahead of him and has a go from distance, but hits his shot well wide of goal.

Hello and welcome! Welcome along and thanks for joining us for build-up and live coverage of this Matchday 6 fixture between Greuther Fürth and Magdeburg.

Three mins to play There are going to be three additional minutes in Elversberg.

Schnellbacher stops Musiala Musiala tries his luck, but substitute Schnellbacher does well to block the shot.

Kimmich's effort saved well by Kristof Kimmich combines with Díaz and Kane before unleashing a shot from outside the box. Kristof makes a very good save from the swirling strike.

Ten minutes to go Can Elversberg conjure up a second equaliser?

Kristof saves Kane's header Olise whips in a corner from the right, and Kane meets it with a decent header. Kristof is equal to it, though, and makes a good save.

Futkeu spurns a good chance Darvich finds the recently introduced Futkeu, but the substitute's effort drifts wide to the right.

⚽ 72' Harry Kane (1-2)

Olise rattles the woodwork! Musiala plays a part in the buildup before fellow sub Olise strikes the crossbar from well outside the box with a raking effort!

Rohr blocks Olise's goal-bound effort Davies finds Día,z who feeds Olise in the middle of the area. The Bayern forward attempts a powerful shot, but Rohr produces a crucial block that prevents what would have been a certain goal!

Kristof alert to Díaz's backheel Fresh off the bench just two minutes ago, Díaz collects the ball from Olise via Stanišić, but Kristof is equal to his back-heeled effort and makes a fairly comfortable save.

Bayern react In response to that leveller, Kompany makes a flurry of subs, bringing on Musiala, Díaz, Davis and Kimmich, who makes his 500th competitive appearance for the club.

⚽ 61' Maurice Krattenmacher (1-1)

Kane still on the hunt That most recent shot takes Kane's total to seven this Bundesliga season, but he's still waiting for his first goal.

Kane shoots wide Saibari finds Pavlović, who sets up Kane. The free-scoring forward's left-footed effort from outside the box is not one of his best, and it skips wide.

Brown's attempt stopped by Kristof Pavlović starts the move, finding Bischof who links up with Saibari. The ball reaches Brown, but Kristof is equal to his effort and makes the save.

Krattenmacher enters the fray Elversberg made one change at the break, with Maurice Krattenmacher - one of the heroes of last week's dramatic win over Gladbach - replacing Campbell.

The ball is rolling again! Elversberg take the second-half kick-off, and we're back to the action!

Five mins to go We're going to have five minutes of first-half injury time in Elversberg.

Saibari's effort flies wide Kane finds Olise, who tees up Saibari. The Moroccan shoots, but it doesn't trouble Kristof.

Stanišić blocks Campbell There's life in Elversberg yet: Keidel and Günther combine to set up Campbell, but his shot from the left-hand side of the box is blocked by Stanišić.

Elversberg struggling The home side seem a little shellshocked by Karl's goal, and are having trouble regaining a foothold in this match.

Saibari top provider Ismael Saibari recorded his third assist of this Bundesliga season during the build-up to that goal; that puts him joint-top of the table in that category.

⚽ 26' Lennart Karl (0-1)

Rohr putting his body on the line Kane pounces on a loose defensive pass and fires an effort goalwards, only to see Rohr throw himself in the way to block it.

Darvich goes close! Petkov finds sub Darvich, but his attempt flies wide. Elversberg are demonstrating that they pose a serious danger on the break.

Saibari shows heading threat Pavlović picks out Stanišić on the right. His cross finds Saibari, whose header goes wide.

Booked Onyeka withdrawn early Elversberg make a very early change, with Noah Darvich coming on to replace Onyeka, who was booked a few minutes ago.

Pavlović's attempt off target Saibari finds Bischof, whose shot is blocked by Keidel, before Pavlović's effort sails wide.

Karl's effort blocked as well Pavlović and Olise combine to set up Karl, but his shot is blocked by Pinckert! Bayern are beginning to put some pressure on.

Early booking for Onyeka Francis Onyeka picks up a yellow card for a late challenge.

Early chance for Petkov! Keidel sends a long pass forward and Petkov manages to get a shot away, but it's blocked and the opportunity goes a-begging. Interesting start!

Fans may play a role Elversberg briefly threaten a counter-attack, and the home crowd responds excitedly and loudly - they'll likely give their team some extra motivation today.

And we're off! The final fixture of Matchday 3 is underway. Let's hope it's a good one!

Elversberg subs Boss, Le Joncour, Mickelson, Sirch, Condé, Darvich, Krattenmacher, Futkeu, Schnellbacher

Hello and welcome! Welcome along and thanks for joining us for build-up and live coverage of this Matchday 3 fixture between Elversberg and Bayern Munich.

Added time There will be an additional three minutes of play. The HSV players will surely be glad it's not any longer.

Hamburg's final substitution With the match winding down, Polzin has decided to bring on Jatta for El Ouahdi.

Gruda's effort flies over Baku intercepts the ball and Banzuzi quickly finds Gruda, but his shot sails harmlessly over the crossbar.

Hamburg have dropped right back There's not much coming from the away side anymore in an offensive sense. If any team is still playing attacking football, it's Leipzig.

Late changes for both sides Nusa, who has been at his electrifying best today, makes way for Finkgräfe. Hamburg, meanwhile, have replaced Lokonga with Stange for the final 10 minutes or so.

Leipzig score a fifth! HSV are falling apart! Omari receives a throw-in at the halfway line and is pressured by Rômulo. The striker gets to the ball first and then runs alone towards goal. At the edge of the penalty area, he rounds Heuer Fernandes before slotting it into an empty net.

⚽ 77' Rômulo (5-0)

⚽ 74' Christopher Nkunku (4-0)

Orbán adds a third goal! Nusa, who won the initial free kick, swings in a perfect delivery that picks out the head of Orbán inside the area. He powers the ball beyond a helpless Heuer Fernandes to wrap up the three points for Leipzig.

⚽ 72' Willi Orbán (3-0)

Another booking Nandja, in his first Bundesliga start, picks up a yellow card for dragging Nusa to the ground. Free kick for RBL in a dangerous area...

Top save! The balls at the feet of Nkunku inside the six-yard box. He shoots at goal, but Heuer Fernandes makes an excellent reaction save to keep his side in the game.

Tame from Moffi The Hamburg forward evades his marker and strides towards the Leipzig goal However, his attempted shot, from just outside the penalty area, is far too central to test Vandevoordt.

Just wide from Nkunku Gomis floats a lovely ball towards the Hamburg far post where Nkunku is waiting. The Frenchman attempts an acrobatic volley, but his effort misses the target by no more than a few inches.

Chance for Hamburg Finally, the visitors are starting the threat again. The ball is laid into the path of El Ouahdi on the right side of the RBL penalty area. The Hamburg midfielder tries to beat Vandevoordt at the near-post, but the Belgian is alert to the danger.

Raum's Free Kick Blocked The Leipzig captain sees his free kick blocked following Nicolai Remberg's foul on El Aynaoui. Raum's effort is comfortably dealt with by the Hamburg defence, which has looked a bit more secure so far this half.

Lukeba booked The RBL defender takes out El Ouahdi down the left flank and consequently receives a yellow card.

Second half gets going We're back underway at the Red Bull Arena. Hamburg have made a change for the second half, bringing on Moffi for Poulsen.

Henrichs again Gomis, Banzuzi and Nusa combine and set up Henrichs, but his shot is blocked by Wolfe for a corner. The corner comes to nothing.

Daka's effort drifts wide Wolfe starts the move, finding Grønbæk who plays it onto El Ouahdi. The ball reaches Daka, but his shot rolls just wide of Vandevoordt's near-post.

Early change for the hosts Ouédraogo just cannot catch a break. In his first game back since recovery from an injury, the Leipzig midfielder is forced off with another issue. Summer signing Nkunku is on to replace him.

Nusa's strong start After netting four goals in pre-season, Nusa has scored his second in the Bundesliga, having previously found the net against Mönchengladbach.

⚽ 28' Antonio Nusa (2-0)

Hosts well on top Henrichs wins a corner kick on the right. Raum's corner is headed clear of the penalty area, but it's all one way traffic at the moment.

Leipzig's form player After recording two assists in his first home game, Gomis now has three goal involvements after three matchdays - an RBL record.

⚽ 17' Tidiam Gomis (1-0)

Hendrichs from range! There's the first dangerous shot of the match. Henrichs cuts inside from the right and unleashes a shot from around 25 yards. His left-footed effort is deflected by the sliding Torunarigha and whistles just past the right post.

Capaldo booked The Hamburg defender tries to prevent a Leipzig counterattack by committing a tactical foul. He duly picks up an early yellow card.
