If the victory of the Marsupiaux took a long time to take shape, Julian Brandt finally managed to offer the three points to his club at the end of the match (67th, 1-0). A valuable success which allows Dortmund to temporarily occupy the lead in the championship, at the expense of Leverkusen, traveling to Wolfsburg this Saturday (3:30 p.m.).
