Borussia Dortmund celebrate Marco Reus’ opening goal against Freiburg

Borussia Dortmund finally lifted themselves up from last in the Bundesliga table with a 3-0 win over SC Freiburg. Marco Reus opened the scoring for Jurgen Klopp’s struggling team before a Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang brace sealed the win to take them up to 16th in the table.

Klopp’s side hadn’t won a match in the past five games, but a crucial win made sure they went home with three points, but still a long way away from Champions League spots with only 19 points in 20 games – 13 points from fourth and final Champions League place. Bayern Munich’s 2-0 win over Stuttgart ensured Dortmund leapfrogged them in the table

After the game, Klopp was happy with the result and said: “We saw what happens if you have self-confidence.

“Today things were a lot better. I am not surprised. I know what this team is capable of.”

Though Dortmund’s fans are known to be some of the most loyal fans, it did threaten to boil over after a defeat in the previous game against Augsburg. Mats Hummels and Roman Weidenfeller had to speak to the fans and calm them down.

Freiburg 0-1 Dortmund: Reus (9’)

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang punished Freiburg for a poor back pass and took the ball to feed Reus who scored with a first-time left-footed shot into the open net.


Freiburg 0-2 Dortmund: Aubameyang (56’)

Aubameyang scored his first goal after he was released by Ilkay Gündogan whose through ball found the sprinting Gabon forward in space. Aubameyang only had the goalkeeper to beat and scored with a right-footed shot into the centre of the goal.


Freiburg 0-3 Dortmund: Aubameyang (72’)

Dortmund scored arguably the best team goal of the season where five players were involved in a smooth one-touch move that finally saw an unmarked Aubameyang score from a Shinji Kagawa assist into the right bottom corner.
