Historic first half! That hasn’t been the case for 31 years

The first half of the Bundesliga season was the highest in 31 years. The 18 teams scored 501 goals together. The last time more goals were scored in the first half of the season was in the 1991/92 season, but at that time there were 20 teams in the Bundesliga that scored 510 times in the first 19 match days. In 1985/86 there were 518 goals after the first half of the season and 17 match days.

Bayer Leverkusen’s Adam Hlozek (53′) scored the 500th goal of the current season with a 2-0 win over VfL Bochum on Wednesday. Bayern Munich (51) contributed the most goals, Schalke 04 the fewest (14).
