Dortmund triumphs over Wolfsburg with 1-0 victory, Brandt's winning goal sends team back to top three
Dortmund have secured their place in the Bundesliga title race after overcoming Wolfsburg 1-0 at home on Sunday. The victory was all the more impressive given that Dortmund were without several key players through injury and suspension.
The match was a closely contested affair, with both teams creating numerous chances but unable to find the back of the net. However, it was the visitors who took the lead in the 44th minute when Julian Brandt curled a free-kick into the top corner from just outside the box.
Despite being down a goal, Dortmund refused to give up and continued to press forward in search of an equaliser. They finally found their chance in the 78th minute when Erling Haaland's shot was deflected onto his own crossbar by Wolfsburg goalkeeper Robert Lewandowski.
In the end, it was Brandt's winner that sealed the points for Dortmund, sending them back to the top of the table. It was a well-deserved win for the Bundesliga champions, who will now look to build on this momentum as they prepare for their next fixture against Eintracht Frankfurt.
