Three Bundesliga sides are a perfect 2-for-2 to start the season, and Borussia Dortmund has a slight edge of Bayern Munich after another strong performance from 18-year-old American attacker Christian Pulisic.
[ RECAP: Man Utd 2-0 LCFC | Mourinho reacts ]
The weekend started well for America, with Bobby Wood scoring Friday for the third perfect side: Hamburger SV.
Borussia Dortmund 2-0 Hertha Berlin
No Ousmane Dembele, no problem for Christian Pulisic and Borussia Dortmund. The American phenom had another outstanding day as BVB won via Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Nuri Sahin goals.
Pulisic led the match in attempts on goal with five, sprints with 41 — only Aubameyang joined him as players with more than 26 — and covered 6.7 miles as BVB improved to 2-0 on the young season.
Werder Bremen 0-2 Bayern Munich
The hosts stymied Bayern for 72 minutes. Three minutes later, Robert Lewandowski had a brace and the champs were on their way to the points.
Both goals were nice, but the first was casually brilliant. Little back foot trickery.
