The start to the Bundesliga campaign saw Bayer 04 crush SC Freiburg 4-1 at home as they storm to the top of the table. That was underlined a week later with a 2-1 win away to Eintracht Frankfurt. The Werkself are the only team with six points after two matchdays.
Third-placed Hannover 96 visit the BayArena on matchday three. From the kick-off, the Werkself leave no doubt who the boss is on their own turf. The score is 2-0 after ten minutes with two goals from Franca and Oliver Neuville. The Augenthaler team again demonstrate their comfort on the ball and effective finishing. Neuville scores again in the second half and substitute Daniel Bierofka rounds the scoring off at 4-0. Rarely has a Bayer 04 team started a season so well and they are top of the Bundesliga at the end of August 2003.
Here is the line-up for the game against Hannover 96: Butt – Balitsch, Lucio, Juan, Placente, Ramelow, Schneider (Kaluzny 75’), Babic, Ponte, Franca (Berbatov 78’), Neuville (Bierofka 65’)

Lucio, full name Lucimar Ferreira da Silva, was born on 8 May 1978 in Planaltina, a suburb of the Brazilian capital Brasília. He showed his passion for football even as a child. On the dusty streets of his neighbourhood he spent hours chasing the ball – often in bare feet like many Brazilian children. Despite the simple conditions he grew up in, his family always supported his dream of one day becoming a great football player. He made his first steps in club football at small local clubs before moving onto the youth set-up at the club Guará and later he singed for the big club Internacional Porto Alegre. Bayer 04 signed the internationally completely unknown defender from there in January 2000.
