Michael Gregoritsch's brace made it four in three games for the Augsburg man and extended Werder Bremen's winless start to 10 league games. The Austrian scored a powerful header and finished off a smart counterattack either side of a penalty by Icelandic stiker Alfred Finbogasson.

This early handball from Freiburg's Caglar Soyuncu meant his side were always going to be up against it on Sunday. Much to coach Christian Streich's frustration the Turkish defender saw red after just 12 minutes. Goals from Daniel Ginczek, Benjamin Pavard and Simon Terrode lifted Stuttgart to 12th.

Leipzig's quest to top the defending league champions ended early when the club's captain, Willi Orban, was sent off by referee Jochen Drees after just 13 minutes. Orban had impeded Arjen Robben from getting onto a pass from James Rodriguez on the edge of the box.

Roman Bürki (middle) made another big goalkeeping mistake, fouling Felix Klaus (left) for a penalty after less than 20 minutes. He didn't have the worst error of the day though — Dortmund had to play most of the second half with 10 men after Dan-Axel Zagadou was sent off for denying a goal scoring opportunity.

Thorgan Hazard (right) was the hero again for Gladbach for the second straight game. He scored the decisive goal for the Foals against Fortuna Düsseldorf in the German Cup, and followed it up with the go-ahead strike against Hoffenheim.

Sven Bender (right) helped Leverkusen complete a second-half comeback in their second consecutive game. The Leverkusen defender finished off a header from Jonathan Tah from a corner to give the home side the lead.

Defenders were the driving force for Hertha on Saturday as they topped Hamburg in the German capital. Karim Rekik (right) doubled Hertha's lead just after the halftime break, a lead Hamburg were not able to recover from.

Nabil Bentaleb (left) scored his first Bundesliga goal of the season after missing time with injury. He converted a penalty to give Schalke the lead in the first half, but Wolfsburg denied Schalke the three points with a stoppage-time equalizer.

Mainz defender Stefan Bell looks despairingly on as he turns the ball into his own net to give Eintracht Frankfurt the lead in the Rhein-Main derby. His blushes were spared, however, as Suat Serdar grabbed a second-half equalizer.

"I want to help to change the world, even if only in some small way," wrote Manchester United's Spanish midfielder Juan Mata when launching his "Common Goal" initiative. "And I hope that other footballers around the world will help me in this goal."

The 2010 World Cup winner is therefore donating one per cent of his salary to "Streetworldfootball" - a initiative founded in 2002 which supports 120 football aid projects for disadvantaged young people in 80 countries. And Mata's call didn't go unheeded ...

United States internationals Heather O'Reily, Megan Rapinoe and Alex Morgan were among the first footballers to support Mata's project. "Alex and I felt it was important that women's football was represented right from the outset," said Rapinoe who, along with her teammates, won the World Cup in 2015.

Next to answer the "Common Goal" call was Champions League winner Pauline Bremer (seen here with the cup). The German international, who transfered from Olympique Lyon to Manchester City in the summer, has been an ambassador for Streetworldfootball since October 2016.

Bayern Munich center back Mats Hummels became the first Bundesliga player to support the initiative when he joined in August. "I feel we can do more to give some meaning to the ever-increasing salaries in football," said the 2014 German World Cup winner who, like Mata, is donating one per cent of his earnings to Common Goal.

Stuttgart's Dennis Aogo is donating two per cent of his salary. "It's not to look fashionable and it's not to look cool," said the former Germany international. "It's about helping people."

Germany's coaches are also represented in the form of Julian Nagelsmann. "Let's be honest," said the Hoffenheim boss, "for those of us who make a lot of money in this industry, one per cent is not a problem."

German international Serge Gnabry is on loan to Hoffenheim from Bayern and, like Mats Hummels, also referred to the spiralling transfer fees and wages in modern football. "I want the game to be used for good," he said. "That's why I'm joining Common Goal."

Juan Mata's former Manchester United teammate Shinji Kagawa said he is taking part in Common Goal so that other people can benefit from the potential of football. "Football has taught me many things," said the Borussia Dortmund midfielder. "It gives me hope and helps me look outside the box."

International stars such as Giorgio Chiellini are also getting involved. "As footballers, we find ourselves in a privileged position compared to other people in society," said the Juventus and Italy defender. "It's important to bear that in mind and try to support others."

Hasan Ali Kaldirim became the first Turkish footballer to join Common Goal. "When we work together, football can have a great and lasting effect all over the world," said the German-born Turkey international who currently plays for Fenerbahce.
