Borussia Dortmund secured their third consecutive Bundesliga win as they thrashed Hertha BSC 2-0 at home on Saturday. The match was a perfect example of the team's tactical acumen, as they were able to control the game from start to finish.
The first goal of the match came in the 65th minute when Borussia Dortmund's Jadon Sancho crossed the ball into the box for Erling Haaland, who was waiting there to tap it home. It was a well-deserved goal for Haaland, who has been in stunning form this season.
Just two minutes later, Malen scored his second goal of the season after a great piece of individual play by the forward. He dribbled past several defenders before finishing with ease to put the game beyond Hertha BSC's reach.
The clean sheet victory was a testament to the team's defensive solidity, which allowed them to dominate possession throughout the match. Their midfield trio of Marco Reus, Koke, and Christian Fuchs played a key role in creating chances for their forwards.
Overall, it was a fantastic display of football from Borussia Dortmund, who showed that they can compete with the best teams in Germany. With their current form, they look set to challenge for the title come the end of the season.
