Serhou Guirassy scored twice as Borussia Dortmund beat Union Berlin 3-0 at Signal Iduna Park to claim their first Bundesliga win of the season. An early Ramy Bensebaini header was ruled out for a foul on goalkeeper Frederik Ronnow. Yan Couto supplied the first Guirassy finish before the striker doubled the lead after a one-two with Maximilian Beier and a chip over Ronnow. Substitute Felix Nmecha sealed the victory with a fierce late finish. Dortmund recorded an xG of 2.21 from 11 shots while Union posted 1.2 xG from 12 attempts, and Guirassy extended his scoring run to seven straight Bundesliga matches.
After conceding twice late on in their opening-day draw with St. Pauli, Dortmund turned on the style at Signal Iduna Park to get themselves up and running in 2025-26. Dortmund thought they had taken the lead in the 32nd minute when Ramy Bensebaini rose highest to nod Yan Couto's inviting corner-kick beyond the grasp of Frederik Ronnow. However, the goal was ruled out for a foul on the Union Berlin goalkeeper by Aaron Anselmino, but Niko Kovac's side got themselves in front a minute before half-time.
Data Debrief: Plenty of positives for Kovac After extending his stay at Dortmund for another two years, Kovac watched his team put on an impressive display that will no doubt bring positives for the future. And Union Berlin proved to be no match for Dortmund here, with the hosts ending the contest with an expected goals (xG) total of 2.21 from their 11 shots compared to their opponents' 1.2 from 12 attempts.
