BERLIN (AP) — Missed penalties set a Bundesliga record on Sunday as promoted Leipzig continued its remarkable start to the season with a 1-0 win at Wolfsburg to go third.
Emil Forsberg fired the unbeaten side to its fourth win in seven games, putting it level on points with another surprise team, Cologne, and just two points behind leader Bayern Munich.
The Swedish midfielder missed the chance to score from the penalty spot in the first half, sending his effort to the left of Koen Casteels's goal after the Wolfsburg goalkeeper had brought down Timo Werner.
It was the fifth missed penalty of the weekend, a record for a single round of games in the Bundesliga.
