The Karius Comeback Story, Augsburg Go Top and Dortmund's Black Magic!

from The Fussball Podcast · host Markus Fjørtoft / Jan Aage Fjørtoft

Loris Karius produced an outstanding performance as newly promoted Schalke held Bayern München to a remarkable 0–0 draw. Bayern had 83% possession, 15 shots and an xG of 1.94, but Karius made five saves to secure Schalke’s first point of the season and end Bayern’s run of scoring in 47 consecutive Bundesliga matches. Markus and Jan Åge Fjørtoft review all nine matches and discuss the major stories from Bundesliga Matchday 2. Jan also catches us up on his weekend in England, where he interviewed Erling Haaland and spoke with Frank Lampard and Michael Carrick. Elsewhere, Augsburg came from behind to win 4–1 at Eintracht Frankfurt and move to the top of the table. Frankfurt led through Jonathan Burkardt, only for Arijon Ibrahimović and Robin Fellhauer to score within two minutes of the restart before Alexis Claude-Maurice and Fabian Rieder completed the turnaround. Borussia Dortmund also recovered from two goals down to beat Hoffenheim 3–2, while Elversberg continued their extraordinary start by scoring a stoppage-time winner in a 4–3 victory over Borussia Mönchengladbach. Werder Bremen beat RB Leipzig 3–1 despite having only 29% possession, Stuttgart defeated Köln 4–1 and Bayer Leverkusen responded to their opening-weekend defeat with a 4–0 win over Union Berlin. Freiburg maintained their perfect start at Paderborn, while Mainz put five past Hamburg.
