The two best teams in the Bundesliga squared off at the weekend, drawing 1-1 in a tense affair. At this point, I feel like the presenter of some Sky Sports football highlights show, saying, ?We had another action-packed round of matches in the Bundesliga this weekend.? But the thing is, we really did have another action-packed round of matches in the Bundesliga this weekend! We saw four red cards, five penalties (three of which were missed), and three or more goals in six of the nine games. On Saturday, St. Pauli pulled the upset against Freiburg, winning 3-0 in a game that saw Freiburg miss one penalty and have two goals disallowed.
The league left the best until last, though, with Sunday serving up a couple of games that proved to be very ridiculous. While Holstein Kiel gave Eintracht Frankfurt plenty to think about in a 4-2 loss at home in the earlier kickoff, it was the Hoffenheim vs. Werder Bremen game just after that really delivered.
The match ended 4-3 to Werder Bremen, which is already saucy enough, but the journey to get there was even more so. Hoffenheim came flying out of the gates with three goals and a silly red card in just 18 minutes. With a 3-0 lead and down to 10 men, Hoffenheim had little choice but to sit back and let Bremen come at them, which is precisely what Die Werderaner did. They responded almost immediately with three of their own, and the teams went in at the break level at 3-...
