Dortmund rout Hamburg 6-2

Borussia Dortmund maintained its winning start to the Bundesliga with a comprehensive 6-2 rout of Hamburger SV on Saturday. Bayern Munich also won, defeating Hannover 2-0 for an 11th straight league win at home.  Bayern seemed distracted by its new Oktoberfest-inspired brown and white strip in the first half but stepped up its performance after Mario Mandzukic opened the scoring in the 51st minute. Franck Ribery pounced on a rebound to secure the win in the 64th.

Former Bayern midfielder Luiz Gustavo was sent off for the second time in his third game for new club Wolfsburg, which lost 3-1 at Bayer Leverkusen.  Kevin-Prince Boateng’s first goal for Schalke was enough for a 1-0 win at Mainz. The former AC Milan midfielder ran at the home side’s defense, feigned to shoot, and unleashed a fine effort past Mainz goalkeeper Heinz Mueller in off the far post.

Eintracht Frankfurt won 3-0 at 10-man Werder Bremen, and Augsburg came from behind to beat Freiburg 2-1. In the late game, Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored in the 19th and fellow offseason signing Henrikh Mkhitaryan made it 2-0 three minutes later, when Robert Lewandowski backheeled the ball for Mkhitaryan to score.
