Post-Match Report

Facts: BVB flying high in part thanks to Svensson

Even though the events in stoppage time came thick and fast, with Hoffenheim first making it 2-2 and BVB then scoring to make it 3-2, the victory was deserved. Borussia not only registered more shots at goal (17-11) but were also the livelier team (58% possession). The match facts.

Successful run: The Black & Yellows are unbeaten in five rounds of matches, picking up 13 out of a possible 15 points.

Stable: Borussia Dortmund are unbeaten in three successive away games for the first time in this Bundesliga season (two wins, one draw).

Historic: Borussia Dortmund have won their last five games in Hoffenheim – no team had ever put together such a winning run away to TSG before.

Scoring streak: Waldemar Anton has scored two goals in his last three games (previously in the 2-2 draw in Munich). He has never scored more than two goals in a Bundesliga campaign.

Goal-getter: Serhou Guirassy scored his 60th goal in 98 Bundesliga appearances and is now the top scorer in the second half-season with 10 goals. He took a penalty in the Bundesliga for the 11th time and missed for the first time.

Driving force: Julian Brandt initiated the opening goal, set up the incident that led to the (missed) penalty and scored the goal to make it 2-1 to BVB. After 55 minutes, he had won 67% of his challenges.

Provider: Daniel Svensson notched his first two assists in the Bundesliga. He was his usual hard-running self, running (13.3 kilometres) and sprinting (44 times) the most of any player on the pitch.
