BL: Dortmund finally returns to Mainz

Beaten by Bayern Munich (2-1) last weekend, Borussia Dortmund (4th) had to come back on track against Cologne (8th) this Saturday, as part of the 8th day of the Bundesliga. Despite a clear domination (70% possession, 27 shots to 5, including 9 on target), Niko Kovač's men struggled for a long time on the gloves of Marvin Schwäbe… before snatching victory thanks to Maximilian Beier at the very end of the match (90th + 6, 1-0), at Signal Iduna Park.

A narrow victory (1-0) which allows BvB to take third place in the standings, two points behind RB Leipzig, 2nd. Cologne remains 8th.
