"It took Dortmund just 11 minutes to break the deadlock as captain Nico Schlotterbeck rose to nod a simple header past Mio Backhaus from a Julian Ryerson corner. Justin Njinmah, who had forced a smart save out of Gregor Kobel in the opening four minutes, continued to provide a threat for Werder, but was thwarted again in the 18th minute in a one-on-one."
"The hosts' dominance continued, and Sabitzer eventually got their second, firing his half-volley into the bottom-left corner from the edge of the box 75 minutes in. And Guirassy got his long-awaited goal in the 83rd minute to secure the points, ending his run of seven Bundesliga games without netting as he slotted home following a mistake at the back for Werder."
"He had two shots after coming off the bench, contributing 0.61 expected goals (xG) to Dortmund's total of 2.19 xG, and scored for the first time since October 31, 2025. Dortmund are now unbeaten in their last 10 Bundesliga matches (W6 D4), and have not lost any of their last six outings against Werder in the competition (W4 D2)."
Borussia Dortmund won 3-0 at Signal Iduna Park, closing the gap at the top to eight points with Bayern Munich not playing until Wednesday. Nico Schlotterbeck opened the scoring in the 11th minute with a header from a Julian Ryerson corner. Justin Njinmah threatened early for Werder but was twice denied, and Maximilian Beier saw a follow-up cleared off the line. Marcel Sabitzer doubled the lead with a 75th-minute half-volley. Serhou Guirassy, brought on from the bench, scored in the 83rd minute to end a seven-game Bundesliga drought and secure the points. Guirassy contributed 0.61 xG from two shots to Dortmund's 2.19 xG, and Dortmund remain unbeaten in their last 10 Bundesliga matches and unbeaten in their last six league meetings with Werder.
