Bayern Munich, led by Kompany, clinched a 1-0 victory over St. Pauli at the Millerntor-Stadion, extending their lead over second-place Leipzig, who were held to a 0-0 draw at home by Borussia Mönchengladbach. This was the key storyline of Bundesliga’s Matchday 10, as Bayern quickly handled St. Pauli with Jamal Musiala's goal in the 22nd minute. Leipzig’s recent struggles continued, with Rose’s squad failing to break down Mönchengladbach’s defense following losses to Borussia Dortmund and Celtic in the Champions League. With this win, Bayern moves up to 26 points, now five points clear of their nearest rivals. Meanwhile, Eintracht Frankfurt (20 points after 10 matches) closed in on second place with a thrilling 3-2 win over Stuttgart in a high-scoring away game.
Stuttgart's Marmoush, now tied with Kane at 11 goals, scored again. Defending champions Bayer Leverkusen stumbled with their third consecutive draw, settling for a 1-1 result against Bochum (Schick scored for Leverkusen, with Miyoshi equalizing in the 89th minute). Union Berlin and Freiburg’s European zone clash ended scoreless. In Ligue 1, De Zerbi’s Marseille made headlines with a shocking home loss on Friday night, falling 3-1 to Auxerre. Goals by Sinayoko, Perrin, and former Sassuolo and Napoli player Traoré put Auxerre up by three at halftime; a penalty converted by Greenwood in the second half (his eighth goal, with PSG’s Barcola leading on 10 goals) was not enough for a comeback.
Barcola was crucial in Paris Saint-Germain’s 4-2 victory over Angers, scoring a brace alongside two goals from Kang-in Lee. The reigning French champions now stand at 29 points, six ahead of Monaco (who won 3-1 at Strasbourg with a brace from Ben Seghir and a goal from Ilenikhena) and nine ahead of Marseille. Nice avoided a defeat against Lille with a last-minute equalizer from Louchet in the 96th minute, ending the match 2-2. Lyon returned to winning form after two consecutive draws, defeating Saint-Étienne with a goal from captain Lacazette.
