An effective performance is enough for Borussia Dortmund at 4: 0 (1-0) victory against VfL Wolfsburg to maintain the dream of the “premier class” in the final sprint of the Bundesliga.
Serhou Guirassy (3rd minute, 59.) and substitute Karim Adeyemi (69th, 73rd) ensured the sixth seven league games with their double packs on Saturday evening in the Westphalia Stadium at home. Dortmund lost none of these games. With 51 points, BVB initially moved in fourth place and has everything in Leverkusen and against Kiel in the last two match days.
Wolfsburg, on the other hand, has only won two points from the past eight games and can be happy that the cushion is large enough for the basement spaces from a good phase at the beginning of the season. 39 points mean 12th place for the “wolves” launched with European Cup ambitions. For the team of coach Ralph Hasenhüttl, the final games against Hoffenheim and Mönchengladbach are only concerned with damage limitation.

Dortmund’s Guirassy refined noted Brandt acceptance
The first important scene occurred after almost 180 seconds. Julian Brandt slipped so perfectly near the penalty area that the ball rolled exactly into the run of Guirassy. He kept his nerve in front of the goal, sent goalkeeper Kamil Grabara onto the floor with a wobble and shot 1-0 at the bottom right.
But that was also with Dortmund’s offensive glory in the first round. The black and yellow switched to “wait” and did not give any further shot test until the break. Wolfsburg didn’t have much more to offer either, did not put his best chance by Andreas Skov Olsen (15th) in the Dortmund goal.
Also second Guirassy attempt lands in the Wolfsburg goal
At the beginning of the second half, the team of coach Niko Kovac became a bit more active, but the first scenes towards the gate had the guests. Skov Olsen (48th) missed a cross from Tiago Tomas Knapp. In another attempt, the very agile Dane was offside (51.).
BVB was of little interest. With their second shot on the goal, the hosts scored the second goal. Pascal Groß danced two Wolfsburg on the right in the penalty area, covered Klug and Guirassy turned ice cold to 2-0. For him it was the 19th goal of the season. Afterwards Dortmund defended against overall harmless Lower Saxony, who did not make a single shot out of the goal, extremely serious and continued his course of the past few weeks.
The ball ran from a ball conquest on half left to the penalty area border with ADEYEMI. He confidently moved through three Wolfsburg and shot in the top right to 3-0. The “wolves” now gave up. At the next advance of the black and yellow, the guests watched Adeyemi and Brandt played with a double pass towards the penalty area. Two VfL defenders then marveled at how the self-confident ADEYEMI went out and scored 4-0. So everything was clarified.
