Bayern Munich held by Hoffenheim, Aubameyang nets four for Dortmund

Bayern Munich and Hoffenheim both extended their
unbeaten starts to the season to 10 games as they shared
the spoils in a 1-1 draw at the Allianz Arena.
Kerem Demirbay gave a confident Hoffenheim the lead in
the 16th minute, but a Steven Zuber own goal brought the
hosts level before half-time.
Bayern hit the post twice in a stronger second-half showing
from the record champions, but Hoffenheim held on for a
valuable point.
Borussia Dortmund heaped more misery on struggling
Hamburg with a 5-2 win that saw Pierre-Emerick
Aubameyang return from a club-imposed suspension
emphatically with four goals.
It took him only three minutes to make his mark on the
game, turning in one of his easiest goals of the season after
Rene Adler had only parried Emre Mor's effort. He doubled
Dortmund's lead midway through the first half when he
benefited once again from Mor's pass -- this time an
intentional assist -- to score another easy goal as Adler was
taken out of the equation by the Turkish midfielder's pass.
Aubameyang completed his hat trick four minutes later and
his fourth followed soon after half-time, with Christian
Pulisic this time the provider after some more poor
defending in the Hamburg rearguard was punished
ruthlessly.
Nicolai Muller gave Hamburg something to smile about,
ending a 717-minute scoring drought for the northern
Germany side with a goal which reduced the deficit to three.
Aubameyang turned provider to tee up Ousmane Dembele
to restore Dortmund's four-goal lead with 15 minutes left.
Bayer Leverkusen made it two Bundesliga wins in a row,
although they were made to sweat for a 3-2 victory over
struggling Darmstadt.
Hakan Calhanoglu gave Leverkusen a deserved lead in the
32nd minute but the visitors levelled early in the second half
with Antonio Colak volleying in Marcel Heller's cross.
Julian Brandt headed Leverkusen back in front 10 minutes
into the second half before Charles Aranguiz gave Roger
Schmidt's men a two-goal advantage with a powerful shot
into the top right-hand corner.
Mario Vrancic made things interesting with Darmstadt's
second goal five minutes from time, but Leverkusen held on
to edge closer to the top six.
Wolfsburg picked up their first win in the Bundesliga since
August to move out of the bottom three as they beat
Freiburg 3-0.
Mario Gomez headed in Ricardo Rodriguez's cross before
the break and the Germany international added his second
in the 53rd minute, providing a cool finish in a one-on-one
situation.
Rodriguez made sure of the points with a penalty in the 86th
minute, helping Wolfsburg pick up their first win since the
opening day of the campaign.
Eintracht Frankfurt closed the gap on sixth-placed Cologne
with a 1-0 win at the Waldstadion.
Mijat Gacinovic scored the only goal of the game after just
five minutes, with the Eagles closer to adding a second than
the Goats were to scoring an equaliser.
Two late goals earned Augsburg a 2-0 victory in a Bavarian
derby against Ingolstadt, who ended the game with 10 men
and still without a win all season.
