Pick your poison. We are seven games into the season, and the league table is starting to take shape. The best teams are beginning to find some separation, and the worst have already done so. Holstein Kiel is one of those teams starting to sink without a trace, as they have yet to win a game in the Bundesliga this season. Over the weekend, they fell foul to a familiar face in Union Berlin?s Tom Rothe, who was on loan at Die Störche last season but left Borussia Dortmund to join Union this summer.
Rothe?s goal and an assist saw off Holstein Kiel, but they should feel a little unfortunate to come away from the game empty-handed. They looked pretty good and came close multiple times, but sometimes, the ball won?t go in the net. Still, Kiel can?t afford too many of those games if they are going to survive this season. Here?s how matchday seven played out in the Bundesliga.
