The Signal Iduna Park is a fortress. In general, and in particular on Friday evenings. BVB have now gone 24 home games unbeaten, equalling the club record, and have now not lost on a Friday evening at the Strobelallee for almost 13 years. Here are the match facts.

Dortmund celebrate their second goal, scored by Lukasz Piszczek

Deserved victors: Borussia Dortmund were highly dominant for the most part, winning 62% of tackles and having 66% possession, 15 corners to three and 24 shots to nine. Freiburg put in some hard running, covering around five kilometres more than the hosts – by the end the men from Breisgau had covered 121 kilometres.

Home record: Borussia Dortmund have not lost any of their last 24 home games, equalling the club record – the last time they put together such a long unbeaten run at home was 13 and a half years ago under Matthias Sammer.

Friday night success: BVB have now not lost any of their last 22 home matches on Friday evenings (16 wins, six draws) – the last home defeat on a Friday evening came in January 2004 at the hands of Schalke.

Eleventh heaven: The Black and Yellows extended their winning run over Freiburg to 11 games. They have only matched this feat against Bayer/KFC Uerdingen (also eleven consecutive victories between 1989 and 1996).

Subs strike again: Raphael Guerreiro scored BVB's third goal from a substitute this season. Borussia also came top in this category last season too, scoring nine goals from the bench.

Landmark appearance: Just like in the 2-1 win over Mainz on Matchday 1, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang broke the deadlock tonight. It was his 59th goal on his 100th Bundesliga appearance.

Goals glut: Until recently Lukasz Piszczek hadn't scored a goal for a couple of years, but he has now found the net in two consecutive Bundesliga games, following up his strike in the last match against Wolfsburg with another tonight.

First start: Emre Mor was named in the starting XI for the first time, having made a substitute appearance – and scored – in the 6-0 win against Darmstadt on Matchday 3. He has consistently come off the bench in the other competitions too: once in the DFB Cup, once in the Super Cup and once in the UEFA Champions League.

Rotation: There were another three changes to the starting XI; in the last five competitive games there have always been at least three. Against Freiburg Ginter, Castro and Mor came into the team for Bartra, Guerreiro and Pulisic.

First-half struggles: Freiburg have scored all six goals this season after the break.
