Borussia Dortmund Triumphs Over Stuttgart with Late Goals
Thrilling Victory for BVB
Borussia Dortmund clinched a 2-0 victory against VfB Stuttgart in a dramatic finish. This win not only matched a club record for the number of games with at least two goals scored, but also saw goalkeeper Gregor Kobel extend his Bundesliga record with yet another clean sheet.
Impressive Scoring Streak
BVB has now recorded a minimum of two goals in each of their last thirteen Bundesliga matches this year. This achievement sets a new club record in the league, surpassing the previous record of twelve games set back in 1965, which they previously shared with FC Bayern Munich since 2014.
Long-Standing Streak
Reflecting on their entire scoring run, the 2-0 victory against Borussia Mönchengladbach in December 2025 signifies that Dortmund has gone fourteen consecutive Bundesliga matches with at least two goals. This matches the club record from 1995, and they have the opportunity to extend it in their upcoming home game against Bayer Leverkusen.
Key Defensive Contribution
A significant factor in securing the late victory was Gregor Kobel’s exceptional performance. He successfully blocked all three shots on target from Stuttgart, maintaining a clean sheet until the fourth minute of stoppage time, when Karim Adeyemi scored to give Dortmund the lead.
Record-Breaking Clean Sheets
As a result of this match, Gregor Kobel has achieved thirteen clean sheets this season—the highest among Bundesliga goalkeepers.
Outstanding Season Performance
In another notable statistic from the match against VfB Stuttgart, BVB has only experienced two defeats after 28 matchdays this season. This is their best performance at this stage of the season since 1965/66, matching the resilience of Niko Kovac’s current squad.
Historical Context
Additionally, this victory at the MHP Arena marked BVB’s 17th away win against VfB Stuttgart since the Bundesliga’s inception. Dortmund has gained more Bundesliga victories at Stuttgart than at any other venue, which is somewhat surprising considering this was their first win there in three and a half years, a period in which they faced three losses and managed just one draw.
Milestone Achievement
In this match, Carney Chukwuemeka reached a personal milestone, playing his 50th game for Borussia Dortmund after joining the club from Chelsea FC in 2025.
