Football: Valentino Lazaro scores a dream goal against Leverkusen

Lazaro’s dream goal, but Gladbach loses due to summer mistake +++ Steffen beat twice

Bundesliga

Wolfsburg 2-1 Hoffenheim

Although Wolfsburg are still unbeaten in the current season, the points performance has been relatively poor due to five draws so far. Wolfsburg owes Renato Steffen and goalkeeper Koen Casteels, who saved a penalty from former grasshopper Munas Dabbur in injury time and thus prevented the 2-2 win, which this time was enough for three points.

Steffen had already scored Wolfsburg in the 5th minute with his first goal of the season leading. After just under half an hour he fooled the Hoffenheim defense again, but failed due to goalkeeper Oliver Baumann. The ball came back to him via deflections. His clever pass allowed Wout Weghorst to score 2-0. Subsequently, the Dutchman missed the possible 3-0 from the penalty point.

Wolfsburg – Hoffenheim 2: 1 (2: 0)
Tore: 5. Steffen 1-0. 26. Weghorst 2-0. 88. Adamyan 2: 1.
Remarks: Wolfsburg with Steffen (up to 71st) and Mehmedi (from 62nd), without Mbabu. 82. Weghorst misses the penalty. 93. Dabbur misses the penalty. (abu / sda)

Leverkusen – Gladbach 4: 3

Apart from Wolfsburg, Leverkusen are the only other Bundesliga club undefeated after seven rounds. Dutch team Peter Bosz had the best at home against the equally strong Borussia Mönchengladbach 4: 3. Twice the Gladbach team led with Lars Stindl, twice Leverkusen managed to equalize in the first half with Lucas Alario, who has scored seven times in his last four Bundesliga games.

Yann Sommer made an unfortunate figure in Mönchengladbach’s 2-2 goal, as he flew over the flank towards Alario. And at 2: 3 in the 68th minute, Leon Bailey hit him with a blow between the legs. Leverkusen’s third goal in the 68th minute was particularly bitter for the Gladbachers, as their Austrian striker Hannes Wolf had shot over the empty net from five meters earlier.

The fact that Wolf’s compatriot Valentino Lazaro scored the best goal of the match in injury time with a 3: 4 – an acrobatic feat – was a small consolation for Gladbach’s side.

Leverkusen – Mönchengladbach 4: 3 (2: 2)
Tore: 18th Stindl (foul penalty) 0: 1. 27. Alario 1: 1. 40. Stindl 1: 2. 41. Alario 2: 2. 68.Bailey 3-2. 82 Baumgartlinger 4: 2. 94. Lazaro 4: 3.

Premier League

Manchester City – Liverpool 1: 1

West Brom – Tottenham 0: 1

Tottenham – out for the first time with Harry Kane, Gareth Bale and Heung-min Son – needed a lot of patience against West Brom’s well-stocked defense. Only in the 88th minute did Kane benefit from the fact that goalkeeper Sam Johnstone hesitated with a cross. The attacker easily completed with the head.

West Bromwich – Tottenham 0: 1 (0: 0)
Tor: 88. Kane 0: 1.

A league

Lazio – Juventus 1: 1

Juventus only scored 1-1 despite Cristiano Ronaldo’s sixth Serie A goal of the season at Lazio. The Portuguese superstar scored in the 15th minute but had to leave the pitch a quarter of an hour before the end due to a foul. After seven rounds, the champion, just trained by Andrea Pirlo, has only 13 points on his account.

In Rome Felipe Caicedo prevented Torino from winning in injury time. The former Basler, who saved a Champions League point with a late goal in St. Petersburg on Wednesday, scored the 1-1 in the 95th minute with a shot from the turn.

League 1

Metz – Dijon 1: 1

Goalkeeper of the Swiss U21 national team Anthony Racioppi debuted in the French Ligue 1. The 21-year-old from Geneva held a 1-1 penalty at Dijon’s home in Metz.

After less than seven minutes in his first game at the top of the league, Racioppi was already able to stand out. He rejected the penalty foul shot in the middle of the goal with his legs. Dijon, which includes former Super League strikers Roger Assalé and Moussa Konaté in its ranks, are still winless after ten rounds and are bottom of the table.
