SC Freiburg suffered their first defeat of the season in a 2-1 Bundesliga loss away to Bayer Leverkusen, losing first place after just one matchday. Bayern Munich moved top of the table after a 6-1 win against RB Leipzig.

How the match unfolded

Derry Scherhant scored for Freiburg in the 14th minute. Ibrahim Maza equalised in the 19th minute, and Patrik Schick scored in the 76th minute to seal Leverkusen's fifth successive competitive victory.

Schick scores in a sixth straight league game

After scoring in each of Bayer Leverkusen's first five Bundesliga matches of the season, Schick also scored in the sixth. He became the first forward in the club's history to score in each of the first six, surpassing Stefan Kießling and Dimitar Berbatov.

Changes and stoppage

After the 3-2 Conference League victory over FK Jablonec, Freiburg coach Julian Schuster made 8 changes to his starting line-up. Germany coach Klopp watched from the stands.

Freiburg fans brought play to a halt for 5 minutes by throwing tennis balls. The supporters were protesting restrictions on away fans at the BayArena, and play resumed only after a lengthy discussion between the fans and Schuster.

What comes next

Freiburg host Munich in a top-of-the-table meeting. Freiburg's defeat and Munich's win against RB Leipzig changed the order at the top.
