BERLIN: Bavarian team Augsburg stunned Eintracht Frankfurt, winning 4-1 in the Bundesliga on Sunday. Mainz, on the other hand, dominated Hamburg 5-0. Augsburg's triumph has put them at the top of the Bundesliga table after just two games, marking the club's first-ever first-place finish since their promotion in 2011. This victory came after Bayern Munich's scoreless draw at Schalke on Saturday, breaking their 67-match winning streak at the top of the table.
Augsburg coach Manuel Baum expressed his joy, saying, "People live for moments like this." He added, "When we see each other in a few years, we'll tell stories about how we topped the table with Augsburg." The team celebrated with a screenshot of the standings. Augsburg scored through Arijon Ibrahimovic, Robin Fellhauer, Alexis Claude Maurice, and Fabian Rieder, while Frankfurt's Jonathan Burkardt opened the scoring.
Earlier, Mainz dominated Hamburg 5-0, with goals from Phillip Tietz (2), Sheraldo Becker, Phillipp Mwene, and Ransford Koenigsdoerffer.
