On Sunday evening, Borussia Dortmund continued their impressive form as they dominated TSG Hoffenheim in a thrilling match at Signal Iduna Park. The hosts took the lead through goals from Erling Haaland and Jadon Sancho, who scored twice respectively, while the visitors could only manage a single shot on target throughout the entire game.
Haaland's goal was a testament to his clinical finishing skills, as he slotted home a low cross from Sancho after only five minutes. It was a perfect start for the Norwegian forward, who has been in excellent form this season, scoring 11 goals in just nine league games.
The second goal came later in the first half when Haaland collected possession near the penalty spot and calmly slotted home another fine finish. He then completed his hat-trick by netting a stunning free-kick in the second half, which left the Hoffenheim defence rooted to the spot.
Meanwhile, Sancho also had a memorable afternoon, scoring two more goals in the second half to become the first player in Bundesliga history to score three or more times in a single game. His goal was particularly important as it gave Dortmund the lead against a stubborn Hoffenheim side that struggled to create any meaningful chances.
Despite the loss, TSG Hoffenheim were able to keep the visitors' goal empty for most of the game thanks to some solid defending from their players. However, they were unable to find a way past the Dortmund defense, which was led by goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen.
Overall, the match was a dominant display from Dortmund, who showed why they are currently top of the Bundesliga table. They have now won all six of their matches so far this season, and continue to be one of the form teams in Europe. Meanwhile, Hoffenheim will need to bounce back quickly if they want to remain in the title race, but there is still time to turn things around before the end of the season.
