Borussia Dortmund secured a crucial 2-1 win over Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday, moving them into third place in the Bundesliga table. The match saw Dortmund take the lead twice, with Aaron Anselmino heading in a Daniel Svensson free kick in the 41st minute and Karim Adeyemi scoring from Fabio Silva's cross in the 65th minute. However, Leverkusen pulled a goal back through substitute Christian Kofane in the 83rd minute, setting up a tense finish. In the end, Dortmund's defensive solidity held strong, as they withstood Leverkusen's late pressure to earn the three points. The win marks a significant improvement for the Ruhr valley club, who had conceded late equalizers in their previous two league matches. Dortmund's coach, Niko Kovac, praised his team's performance, stating that they 'faced a top opponent and defended well.' The result sees Dortmund leapfrog Leverkusen into third place, with 25 points in the table. They remain one point behind second-placed RB Leipzig and two ahead of Leverkusen in fourth. Bayern Munich continue to lead the title race with 34 points, following their 3-1 victory over St Pauli earlier in the day.
