Elversberg stunned M'Gladbach with a 4-3 away victory in Bundesliga Matchday 2 despite Hugo Bolin's outstanding individual display — the forward netted twice, registering a 9.1 player-of-the-match rating with 2 shots on target and 2 successful dribbles.

Maurice Krattenmacher scored a brace for Elversberg, with David Mokwa and Felix Keidel also finding the net. Joe Scally grabbed M'Gladbach's other goal, but it proved merely a consolation in a pulsating seven-goal contest.
