Sept 19 (Reuters) - Maximilian Beier ⁠struck the only goal as Borussia Dortmund beat VfB Stuttgart ⁠1-0 on Saturday to go into the international break ‌in top spot in Germany's Bundesliga.

Dortmund have a perfect 12 points from four games to give them a two-point lead over Bayern Munich and Freiburg.

After struggling to ​break down their hosts in a scoreless ⁠first half, Dortmund brought ⁠Jobe Bellingham off the bench in the 62nd minute to shake things ⁠up, ‌and he delivered eight minutes later by driving the ball into the centre for Beier to score from ⁠close range.

Stuttgart stormed forward looking for an equaliser, but ​the visitors’ defence ‌held firm, condemning the hosts to their third defeat in ⁠four league ​games this season.

There was no boost forBorussia Moenchengladbach following the sacking of coach Eugen Polanski six days ago as they slumped to their fourth ⁠loss of the season in a 4-3 ​defeat at home to Mainz 05.

FormerMainz 05 coach Jan-Moritz Lichte was handed the reins atMoenchengladbach on an interim basis following the sacking of ⁠Polanski,but the change had little effect despite FlorianNeuhaus giving the home side the lead in the 11th minute.

Phillip Tietz equalised seven minutes later and Mainz went on to score three more goals, ​taking the total conceded by Moenchengladbach in the ⁠league to 16 in their four games so far.

Elsewhere, Werder Bremen ​came roaring back from two goals down ‌to beat Augsburg 3-2, while Hamburg ​edged Cologne 2-1 and Eintracht Frankfurt and Freiburg played out a 2-2 draw.

9 月 19 日（路透社）——马克西米利安·拜尔打入全场唯一进球，帮助多特蒙德周六以 1-0 击败斯图加特，在国际比赛日到来之前位居德国足球甲级联赛榜首。

多特蒙德四战全胜积12分，领先拜仁慕尼黑和弗赖堡两分。

在上半场与主队互交白卷后，多特蒙德在第62分钟换上替补上场的乔布·贝林厄姆，试图改变比赛局面。8分钟后，贝林厄姆不负众望，将球传到中路，拜尔近距离破门得分。

斯图加特猛攻，力图扳平比分，但客队的防守稳固，使得主队在本赛季的四场联赛中遭遇第三场失利。

六天前，门兴格拉德巴赫队主教练尤金·波兰斯基被解雇，但这并没有给球队带来任何提振，他们在主场以 3-4 负于美因茨 05 队，遭遇了本赛季的第四场失利。

在波兰斯基被解雇后，前美因茨05队教练扬-莫里茨·利希特暂时接任门兴格拉德巴赫队主教练一职，但尽管弗洛里安·诺伊豪斯在第11分钟为门兴格拉德巴赫队取得领先，但这一变动并没有产生太大影响。

菲利普·蒂茨在七分钟后扳平比分，美因茨随后又打入三球，使得门兴格拉德巴赫在联赛中四场比赛的总失球数达到了 16 个。

其他比赛中，云达不莱梅在两球落后的情况下奋起直追，最终以 3-2 战胜奥格斯堡；汉堡以 2-1 险胜科隆；法兰克福和弗赖堡则以 2-2 战平。
