Borussia Dortmund sent a strong title message after cruising to a 3–0 victory over Union Berlin at Stadion an der Alten Försterei. The result reduces the gap to league leaders Bayern Munich to eight points, keeping BVB firmly in the Bundesliga title race.
It was a disciplined, professional display from Niko Kovač’s men, who now have just one defeat in 19 Bundesliga matches this season.
Fast Start Breaks Union’s Fortress
Union Berlin’s home stadium has been one of the toughest venues in Germany, but Dortmund silenced the crowd early.
Inside the first 10 minutes, Serhou Guirassy forced a penalty after being brought down by goalkeeper Frederik Rønnow.
Captain Emre Can calmly converted from the spot to give Dortmund a deserved early lead.
That goal changed the tempo of the match and forced Union to chase the game.
A Physical Battle in the First Half
The remainder of the opening half was tight and physical, with both teams relying on crosses and set pieces.
- Fábio Silva fired narrowly wide after multiple blocks.
- Union’s best chance came when Diogo Leite headed over the bar.
Despite Union’s pressure, Dortmund defended with confidence and structure.
Schlotterbeck Doubles the Advantage
After halftime, Union tried to raise the intensity, but Dortmund stayed composed.
A brilliant save from Rønnow denied Jobe Bellingham, but from the resulting corner, Nico Schlotterbeck rose highest and headed in from a tight angle.
The goalkeeper got two hands to the ball but could not stop it from crossing the line.
That second goal killed Union’s momentum.
Beier Seals a Professional Win
Dortmund controlled the final stages and were rewarded late on when Maximilian Beier smashed a low shot into the bottom corner to make it 3–0.
It was not Dortmund’s most attacking performance, but it was one of their most efficient and mature.
What This Means for the Title Race
With Bayern Munich losing earlier to Augsburg, Dortmund’s belief is growing again.
- Only 1 loss in 19 Bundesliga matches
- 8 points behind Bayern
- Strong defensive record
- Growing confidence under Niko Kovač
For Union Berlin, this was their first defeat in six matches, but they remain in the top half of the table.
