BVB registered 61% possession and more chances (20-15), but they did not lose undeservedly in Wolfsburg. All things considered, the Wolves had the better opportunities in a match characterised by plenty of chances and some great goalkeeping at both ends (xGoals: 2.82-1.61). An early and a late goal ultimately wrapped up Wolfsburg's first victory against BVB in over seven years.

Debutant: Marco Pasalic made Borussia's squad for a Bundesliga game for the first time and made his debut too. The 22-year-old's only previous senior appearance came against Bayern Munich in the Supercup in summer 2021, when he played 12 minutes.

Role reversal: BVB only had six shots at goal against Bochum at the weekend and still won 3-0, yet in Wolfsburg they registered 20 shots and ended up losing 2-0.

Winning streak over: Having won on their previous seven visits in a row, BVB lost in Wolfsburg for the first time since May 2015.

Early deficit: As they already did in Leipzig, BVB fell 1-0 behind in the sixth minute of the match following a corner-kick. The Black & Yellows have not conceded an earlier goal this season.
