Borussia Dortmund dominated Hertha BSC in their Bundesliga clash on Sunday, securing a comfortable 2-0 victory to extend their lead at the top of the table.
The match kicked off with both teams looking to take control of the game early on, but it was Borussia Dortmund who took the lead in the 14th minute through a well-worked goal from Erling Haaland. The Norwegian striker beat his marker before slotting home from close range to give Dortmund the lead.
Hertha BSC looked to respond immediately and came close to level scores in the 27th minute when Julian Green hit the post with a powerful shot from distance. However, it was not long before Dortmund doubled their lead as Haaland found space on the edge of the box and fired a low shot into the bottom corner to make it 2-0.
Despite some efforts from Hertha BSC to get back into the game, Dortmund were able to hold onto their lead and secure all three points. It was another impressive display of football from Borussia Dortmund, who have now won six consecutive games in all competitions.
The win means that Borussia Dortmund are now just one point behind leaders Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga table. They will be hoping to continue their impressive form when they face Augsburg next week, while Hertha BSC will need to focus on their own game if they hope to stay in the hunt for European qualification.
