Bayern Munich failed to score in the Bundesliga for the first time in more than 18 months as they were held to a goalless draw by newly-promoted Schalke. Home keeper Loris Karius produced a string of fine saves, including to deny Harry Kane late on, with Vincent Kompany choosing to start with the England captain and Michael Olise on the bench. The major positive for Kompany was the return, also off the bench, of Jamal Musiala after he twice collapsed in friendly games last month. Borussia Dortmund are two points ahead of their rivals after fighting back from two down to beat Hoffenheim 3-2 and notch their second Bundesliga win. They looked in big trouble when Tim Lemperle added to a first-half goal from Leon Avdallahu in the 54th minute but Serhou Guirassy pulled one back seven minutes later and Fabio Silva levelled matters in the 66th minute. Hoffenheim looked like they might hold on but Albian Hajdari’s late own goal gave Dortmund the points. Bayer Leverkusen earned their first league victory of the season, thumping Union Berlin 4-0. Nico Williams scored his first goal of the season to help Athletic Bilbao consign Atletico Madrid to a 3-0 defeat in LaLiga. 🔚 𝗟𝗘𝗧'𝗦 𝗚𝗢𝗢𝗢𝗢𝗢𝗢𝗢𝗢𝗢𝗢! A superb performance from Athletic to secure their second consecutive victory in @laligaEN and their first three points of the season at San Mamés.#AthleticAtleti #AthleticClub 🦁 pic.twitter.com/8rRtpfMr4Q — Athletic Club (@Athletic_en) September 5, 2026 Robert Navarro grabbed a second two minutes later, and Diego Simeone introduced Julian Alvarez in the 58th minute but it could not prevent a first defeat of the season for Atletico, with Oihan Sancet adding a late third. Lautaro Martinez scored a stoppage-time winner as Inter Milan came from behind to beat Napoli 3-2 and maintain their perfect start in Serie A. Napoli had looked in control after two goals in the space of five minutes early in the second half from Matteo Politano and Rasmus Hojlund. Martinez, though, started the fightback before Marcus Thuram headed an equaliser with eight minutes left and the Inter captain then snatched victory.
