On Sunday, the second round of the German football championship ended. Guests won five matches, hosts triumphed in two matches, and the remaining two matches ended in a draw.
Another "lesson" from Bundesliga newcomers was received by "Stuttgart" footballers. This time the club, considered one of the favorites of the league, lost 2-3 at home to the "Koln" team. It is worth mentioning that this was the second consecutive victory for the "Koln" club.
Meanwhile, other Bundesliga newcomers had a much worse time - the "Eintracht" team lost 0-2 away to Berlin's "Hertha" club. Meanwhile, "Duisburg" footballers had to recognize the superiority of the "Kaiserslautern" club with a score of 3-5.
And "Werder" club continues to dominate. The Bremen team defeated the "Mainz" eleven 2-0 on the opponents' field and won their second victory in two matches. Equally confidently, "Hamburger" - the team from the port city, defeated "Arminia" with the same result. The winners were distinguished by the excellent form demonstrated by S. Barbarez and the new club member R. van der Vaart.
The defending champions "Bayern" club also won their second victory - the Munich team left no chance for the "Bayer" club away and defeated their opponents with a score of 5-2. R. Makaay scored three goals for the "Bayern" club, while M. Ballack and the team's newcomer A. Karimi added one each.
Another interesting match took place in Dortmund between the hosts "Borussia" and "Schalke" clubs. In the 17th minute, after a precise shot by E. Smolarek, the hosts took the lead, but the "Borussia" fans did not celebrate for long - just five minutes later, German K. Kuranyi equalized the score. After the break, the same K. Kuranyi scored another goal and helped the "Schalke" club to win a difficult and important victory in the Ruhr derby.
