Karim Adeyemi schaut nach oben, schließt die Augen, schreit und ballt die Fäuste.

Post-Match Report

Facts: No coincidence that Adeyemi scored the “golden goal”

In the victory against Wolfsburg, Borussia Dortmund saw their early lead through to the end, were the livelier team overall (11-6 shots at goal, 9-3 corners) and gave only little away defensively. VfL registered just six shots at goal, only one of which was from inside the penalty box. Gregor Kobel did not have to make a save for the entire game. The match facts.

Successful comeback: After 175 days on the sidelines, Nico Schlotterbeck touched the ball 92 times, completed 91% of his passes and won half of his challenges.

Man of the Match: Karim Adeyemi registered the most shots (four, all in the first half), made the most sprints (29) and scored the only goal of the game with a 126km/h shot. Adeyemi has been involved in four goals in his last three competitive matches (two goals and two assists).

Top provider: Julian Ryerson had already assisted the goal to make it 1-0 in the last round in Heidenheim. With two assists, he's BVB's top provider.
