A total of 27 goals were scored this past weekend as the 2021/22 Bundesliga season got underway. There were big wins for Borussia Dortmund, VfB Stuttgart and TSG Hoffenheim. But Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig failed to get the three points.

The 2021/22 Bundesliga season kicked off on Friday with Bayern Munich and Borussia Mönchengladbach facing off at the Borussia-Park. Gladbach took a shock lead in the 10th minute, with Alassane Pléa firing the ball past Manuel Neuer. Bayern managed to equalise on the stroke of half-time through Robert Lewandowski. But neither team was able to find a winner, and the game ended 1-1.

Borussia Dortmund put on a show for the returning fans at the Signal Iduna Park, as they earned a 5-2 win over Eintracht Frankfurt. Erling Haaland was the star of the show. He found the net twice, and also set up goals for Marco Reus, Thorgan Hazard and Gio Reyna.

Last season’s runners-up RB Leipzig suffered a shock 1-0 defeat to Mainz 05. Moussa Niakhaté scored the only goal of the game to give Bo Svensson’s side a stunning matchday one win.

TSG Hoffenheim thrashed FC Augsburg 4-0, with Andrej Kramaric getting a hat-trick of assists. Jacob Bruun Larsen, Sargis Adamyan, Georginio Rutter and Sebastian Rudy scored to give Hoffenheim an impressive win.

Wout Weghorst was on target as Wolfsburg defeated newly promoted side VfL Bochum 1-0. While Union Berlin and Bayer Leverkusen played out a 1-1 draw, with both goals arriving in the opening 15 minutes of the game. Taiwo Awoniyi opened the scoring for the Berliners, before Moussa Diaby equalised for Leverkusen.
