Borussia Dortmund defeated VfB Stuttgart 1-0 to move to the top of the Bundesliga table. The winning goal came in the 70th minute from Maximilian Beier, assisted by Jobe Bellingham.
The Match Flow
Saturday's match in Stuttgart was characterised by defensive discipline for long periods. Dortmund struggled to create clear chances and remarkably did not register a single shot on target for the first 70 minutes. Edin Terzic's team remained compact and waited for their moment. It arrived twenty minutes from time when Bellingham played a through ball for Beier to score the decisive goal.
The Implications
This narrow but key away win solidifies Borussia Dortmund's strong start to the season. The team now has nine points from three games and sits third in the standings. Their perfect run of five consecutive wins across all competitions continues. The next challenge is a home fixture against Werder Bremen, currently in tenth place, on October 9th.
The team travels from Stuttgart with growing confidence. The defence kept another clean sheet, improving their league record to just two goals conceded in three matches.
