Freiburg 3 - 1 Stuttgart after 68 minutes.
It is either Stuttgart good old days ended or Freiburg returned to their previous good form.

Leipzig, Mainz and Hoffenheim scored goals in their games and are leading with 1 goal difference. Augsburg 2 - 2 Werder Bremen for the moment and I think more goals are coming in these games.

I was shocked by the result honestly. Stuttgart started the game really quick with a goal. But Freiburg's answer was really a bitter one. Sad

I saw so many people betting on Stuttgart to win. So much money wasted on them as it seems.

There is no more Guirassy maybe but I like their new attackers too. The goal also belonged to Demirovic. But in the rest of the game, I didn't see a team being very hungry for the win. This was the problem.

Dortmund also started with a win by the way, 2-0.

I thought of betting on their win & over 1.5 goals but couldn't be sure. Dortmund barely scored the 2nd one in the stoppage time.

Losing a mainstay player (Guirassy) certainly makes Stuttgart experience a decline in performance and it is natural that Stuttgart has to lose points even though there are new players like Demirovic but he needs time to adapt and certainly will not be like Guirassy. 3-1 is a humiliating defeat for Stuttgart and must evaluate what mistakes occurred in the defense and attack line which still looks very weak.

Dortmund seems much better even though it is known as a team that does business selling its players but this season it seems like it will be a great challenger for top teams like Munich and Leverkusen. The victory in this first match gives good confidence to Dortmund players to continue their careers to get good results and the market value will increase.
