"Borussia Dortmund continued their unbeaten start to the Bundesliga season with a comfortable 2-0 win over 10-man Heidenheim on Saturday. Serhou Guirassy and Maximilian Beier both scored goals in the first half, sending Dortmund to the top of the early standings. BVB started brightly, with Karim Adeyemi seeing a low strike parried by Diant Ramaj just 35 seconds in, before the goalkeeper smothered Guirassy's close-range poke."
"Just moments after that 21st-minute attempt, Budu Zivzivadze was shown a straight red card for a very late tackle on Felix Nmecha. And 12 minutes later, Guirassy found the breakthrough, planting a powerful header past Ramaj from Julian Ryerson's pinpoint cross. On the stroke of half-time, Beier doubled their lead, guiding an easy tap-in into the net from Adeyemi's low lay-off under no pressure inside the box."
"Niko Kovac said this week that he wants Dortmund to be title contenders again, and they are well in the mix at the top of the table so far. That is in part thanks to Guirassy, who scored in his eighth Bundesliga game in a row. Among all non-German players in the league's history, only Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (10) and Robert Lewandowski (four times, longest streak 15 games in a row) have had longer scoring runs."
Borussia Dortmund maintained an unbeaten start with a 2-0 victory over Heidenheim, who finished the game with ten men after Budu Zivzivadze received a straight red card. Serhou Guirassy opened the scoring with a powerful header from Julian Ryerson's cross, and Maximilian Beier doubled the lead from Karim Adeyemi's low lay-off on the stroke of half-time. Heidenheim pushed after the break and forced a notable save from Gregor Kobel, but could not score. Guirassy extended his scoring run to eight consecutive Bundesliga games, placing him among the league's longest non-German scoring streaks. Dortmund registered 2.7 xG from 17 shots while limiting Heidenheim to 0.39 xG and one shot on target.
