Borussia Dortmund defeated Union Berlin 3-0, with Serhou Guirassy scoring either side of half-time and Felix Nmecha adding a late third. Guirassy's second goal came after a neat one-two with Maximilian Beyer and a dink over Frederik Ronnow. The strike extended Guirassy's run to seven consecutive Bundesliga matches, a streak only surpassed for Dortmund by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (10 in 2015) and Robert Lewandowski (12 in 2013). Dortmund had drawn 3-3 in their opening match after conceding two late goals following Filippo Mane's red card. Guirassy said the team owed fans a reaction and that the second-goal build-up had been rehearsed. Manager Nico Kovac praised Guirassy's importance, noted early difficulties with long balls, and said the team improved after 20 minutes to dominate and deserve the win.
We had to show a reaction after the bad game at St. Pauli,
That's what we did, we owed it to our fans. That was rehearsed [the build-up for the second goal]. We are working on things like this.
Serhou Guirassy is a very important player for us, who scores the goals even in difficult situations. We had a hard time getting into the game. Union bridged it with many long balls. It's about us circulating the ball much faster and having fewer touches. After 20 minutes it got better. On the whole, we dominated the game and deserved to win.
