The Facts
Reus' 13th penalty on matchday 13
SC Freiburg were concentrated in defence and conceded few chances. Borussia Dortmund only managed 11 shots on goal. But conversely, BVB were also very stable in defence: Freiburg only managed five shots on goal, with only one coming during the second passage of play.
Safe: On matchday 13 this season, Marco Reus took his 13th penalty in the Bundesliga, converting for the eleventh time.
Impact sub: Paco Alcácer scored his ninth goal off the bench, meaning he has already matched the historic record for a season set by Nils Petersen (2016/17 for Freiburg) and Ioan Viorel Ganea (2002/03 for Stuttgart). The Spaniard has scored in each of his sixth appearances as a substitute. Nine goals as a substitute likewise constitutes a new club record (he had been level with Amoroso and Ewerthon up until now).
Assist king: Jadon Sancho was involved in eight of BVB's shots on goal, won the penalty for 1-0 and was the decisive player in the build-up on the way to 2-0 (he played the penultimate pass). The Englishman now has nine assists to his name: a Borussia player has never had so many after 13 rounds.
Ball magnet: Axel Witsel had 143 touches of the ball, more than any other Dortmund player so far this season.
Safe in possession: Only 7 percent of BVB's passes failed to find their man.
Streak: It was also Borussia's 15th successive Bundesliga match against Sport-Club without losing to them. They have only dropped points in two of these 15 fixtures against them.
Run: Dortmund have won eight of their last nine Bundesliga matches, have picked up 25 of a possible 27 points and can, as a result, travel to Schalke next week filled with confidence.
