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. It was the fifth missed penalty of the weekend, a record for a single round of games in the Bundesliga. Ten penalties were awarded across the nine games, the most in a Bundesliga round since the 1986-87 season. It was the Swede's third league goal of the season, catapulting Leipzig above Hertha in fourth place and Dortmund in fifth. Yunus Malli made no mistake with another penalty early in the second half, giving Mainz its two-goal cushion.
