BERLIN — A
goal from French teenager Mathys Tel was not enough as
Bayern Munich were held
2–2 at home to Stuttgart, their third Bundesliga draw in a row.

In just his second
start for Munich, Tel became the youngest goal scorer for the club when he gave
the German champions a 1–0 lead at halftime.
Tel is 17 years
and 136 days, 69 days younger than the previous holder of the honor, Jamal
Musiala when he scored against Schalke two years ago.
Tel broke
Stuttgart’s stubborn resistance 36 minutes into the opening half, side-footing
the ball under visiting keeper Florian Mueller after some superb lead-up work
from Alphonso Davis.
Stuttgart looked
to have equalized early into the second half when Serhou Guirassy swept the
ball in from close range, but the goal was chalked off by VAR for a seemingly
innocuous foul on Joshua Kimmich in the lead-up.
The visitors did
not need to wait long to score their first however, with Chris Fuehrich’s
57th-minute rocket giving
Manuel Neuer no chance in goal.
Sensing a
resurgent energy in the visitors, Bayern quickly struck back through Musiala,
now 19, who once again demonstrated his calm and assured presence, holding off
two defenders to score his third of the season.
With one eye on
Tuesday’s visit from Robert Lewandowski’s Barcelona, Bayern looked to take the
energy out of the match, bringing on several changes and dominating possession,
before a late foul from Matthijs de Ligt brought Guirassy to the spot.
The Guinean
slammed the ball into the top right corner of the net to give his side their
fifth draw from six matches this season.
Bayern coach
Julian Nagelsmann said his side only had themselves to blame.
“In the second
half, we had three huge chances where you definitely have to score a third goal
— and then the game would be over.”
Bayern forward
Thomas Mueller echoed his coach’s sentiment.
“Today, I’m mad at
ourselves for the first time this season. If we want to win, we need to go all
the way,” Mueller told German media after the game.
“We are not yet
league leaders - (and) we need to take a look in the mirror.”
Stuttgart
goalkeeper Mueller credited his side’s self belief: “We didn’t give up. We
believed that we could take a point.”
Rose dominates former club
In Leipzig, one-time Dortmund coach Marco Rose secured a win against his
former side in just his first match in charge, with a 3–0 victory.
Rose, who coached
Dortmund to second in the 2021–22 season before being let go in favor of
current boss Edin Terzic, was only appointed Leipzig coach on Thursday after
the sacking of Domenico Tedesco.
While Dortmund
started brightly, Willi Orban gave a jubilant Leipzig the lead after just six
minutes with a towering header.
Leipzig’s Hungarian midfielder
Dominik Szoboszlai made it 2–0 just before halftime with a swerving strike from outside the box,
before former Chelsea striker Timo Werner set up Amadou Haidara in the dying
stages of the match to give the home side a dominant victory.
“The last two days
were very stressful” Rose told Sky after the game. “I’m satisfied that the boys
have implemented so much.”
“It was a good
first step but we can do better.”
Hoffenheim ran out
dominant victors at home against a ten-man Mainz, with a 4–1 win to go to
second on the ladder.
In Frankfurt,
Wolfsburg recorded their first win of the season - and their debut Bundesliga
victory under former Bayern coach Niko Kovac — with a narrow 1–0 victory over
Eintracht.
Elsewhere, Bayer
Leverkusen’s woes continued, held to a 2–2 draw away at lowly Hertha Berlin.
Tipped as an outside chance for the title at the start of
the season, Leverkusen could end the round as low as 17th depending on other
results.
