Borussia Dortmund Targets Bayern Munich’s Bundesliga Title

Dortmund’s Pursuit of Bayern

Borussia Dortmund continues to bridge the gap to Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, making strides toward their own historical achievements in the process.

Key Victory Against Mainz

Niko Kovač’s squad is set to reduce Bayern’s lead to just three points after a commanding 4-0 victory over Mainz at home on Friday night.

Early Lead and Record-Breaking Performance

The match at Signal Iduna Park saw Serhou Guirassy score the opening goal just ten minutes in, marking a significant milestone in the Bundesliga’s history.

This goal represented the 15th instance where Kovač’s team scored first in consecutive league matches—a feat previously achieved by only two other teams.

Historical Comparisons

These teams include Hamburg’s 1980 squad and Dortmund itself in 2013, under Jürgen Klopp, when they reached a Champions League final against Bayern.

Remarkable Assists

Adding to the team’s remarkable performance, Julian Ryerson provided assists for all four goals, joining an exclusive group of players who have achieved this in a single Bundesliga match since the 2004/05 season.
