Costa lobbed the ball over Leverkusen’s Germany under-20 midfielder Julian Brandt with a deft flick of his back heel in the 81st minute of Bayern’s 3-0 win at the Allianz Arena, which caused a stir after the match. And ten minutes later, Hilbert conceded another penalty by handling the ball.

“I am ecstatic, we played against extremely good competitors”, the Spanish coach told reporters.
Both teams hit the woodwork in an exciting first half but the champions kept Leverkusen at bay in a one-sided affair after the break as the visitors lost in the league for the first time this season.

The hosts took a while to settle as they tried to put together some forward moves with no breakthrough before Thiago Alcantara had an 11th minute effort go only inches over the crossbar.

Dutch striker Luc Castaignos put Frankfurt 2-1 up at the break before Tyton’s dismissal for bringing down the former on 67 minutes.
Stuttgart, which like Hamburg fought against relegation last season, began strongly but fell behind on an own goal by Adam Hlousek in the 11th. Haris Seferovic scored from the penalty before Castaignos completed the victory. However, things chanced with the restart as Hamburg’s Lewis Holtby scored the opener left footed following the assistance by Sven Schipplock at the 47th minute.
Unfortunately it didn’t really turn out that way after they romped to a 3-0 win over their rivals after winning a game without any recognised centre-backs in their starting XI.
Newly promoted Ingolstadt edged Augsburg 1-0 thanks to Mathew Leckie’s 22-meter hammer and newly promoted Darmstadt shared the spoils with Hoffenheim following a goalless draw.
