Post-Match Report

Facts: 15-0 shots on goal in the second 45 minutes

BVB were lackadaisical in the first half but turned around a 0-2 half-time deficit against HSV with a dominant second-half onslaught. BVB had 15 shots on goal in the second half, recording the highest xGoals (6.2) any team has ever achieved before, and left the pitch as deserved winners.

Best and second-best runners up: Following their victory over HSV, Borussia Dortmund now have 61 points to their name. Only once in Bundesliga history has a team in second place had more points at this stage of the season, and that was also Borussia Dortmund in 2015/16 (64).

Record: Since the statistic started being recorded in the 2020/21 season, no team has recorded a higher xGoals in a single match than Borussia Dortmund (6.24) – this is, of course, partly down to the three penalties.

Penalties: This is only the tenth time in Bundesliga history that a team has been awarded three penalties in a single match. The last time this happened was three years ago in the match between Mainz and Bielefeld. This is the first time BVB have been awarded three penalties in a Bundesliga match.

Missed: Felix Nmecha took his first Bundesliga penalty and missed. His miss was the 79th penalty missed in Borussia Dortmund’s history, which is a record that is shared with Bremen and Mönchengladbach.

Comeback: The last time the Black & Yellows won after trailing 0-2 at half-time was in Frankfurt four years ago, when they won 3-2 in January 2022.

Plenty of wins: BVB celebrated their 18th win of the season, so they have surpassed their total from the entire previous season.

From the spot: Ramy Bensebaini has converted all nine of his penalties in the Bundesliga (the first seven were when he was still at Mönchengladbach).

A first: Niko Kovac fielded the same starting XI as last weekend in the 2-0 win against Augsburg, meaning Borussia started with the same line-up in two consecutive competitive matches for the first time this season.
