Borussia Dortmund secured their second consecutive Bundesliga victory, defeating Hertha BSC 2-0 at the Signal Iduna Park on Saturday night. The match started with both teams showing great intent to dominate possession in midfield. However, it was Borussia Dortmund who had the first chance of the game when they were awarded a penalty kick after Hertha BSC's goalkeeper could not handle a cross from the right wing. However, German international Jude Bellingham stepped up to take the penalty but missed his shot, resulting in a corner for Hertha BSC. Despite being the home team, Hertha BSC failed to capitalize on the opportunity and ended up conceding another goal just before half-time. In the second half, Borussia Dortmund continued to apply pressure and created several chances, including a header from Erling Haaland that was blocked by Hertha BSC's goalkeeper. However, it was Brandt who scored the decisive goal for Dortmund in the 88th minute. Brandt, who has been in excellent form this season, finished off a cross from the left wing with a powerful shot into the far corner of the net. The goal was Brandt's 15th league goal of the season, which means he is now leading the league in goals scored. Malen, meanwhile, also contributed to the win for Dortmund as he scored his fourth goal of the season in the 94th minute. His goal ensured that Borussia Dortmund secured their second consecutive top-three spot in the Bundesliga table. Overall, Borussia Dortmund showed great resilience and determination throughout the match, and their hard work paid off as they sealed yet another victory. It will be interesting to see how the rest of the Bundesliga matches play out, and whether Borussia Dortmund can maintain their winning streak. |
