Adeyemi scores goal of the day – BVB grind out win over Wolfsburg | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund remains unbeaten in the Bundesliga. Thanks to a goal from the outstanding Adeyemi in the 20th minute, BVB defeated VfL Wolfsburg 1-0 (1-0). Schlotterbeck celebrated his comeback after a long injury break with a composed performance.

There was one change in the starting eleven after the wild 4-4 draw in the Champions League at Juventus Turin: Schlotterbeck replaced Yan Couto, making his first appearance since his meniscus tear in April 2025.

The hosts started briskly. Adeyemi took a shot from the edge of the box and missed the goal by only a small margin in the second minute. In contrast, it took Wolfsburg about ten minutes to get into the game. However, they did not manage a shot on goal.

Adeyemi, on the other hand, was even more precise. Sabitzer won the ball and passed it to Ryerson, who laid it off to Adeyemi. With a 125 km/h rocket, the winger fired the ball into the bottom right corner from 24 meters to make it 1-0 (20’).

Dortmund kept up the pressure. Wolfsburg had no answer to BVB’s quick passing play down the flanks. In the 35th minute, Beier had a great chance to make it 2-0. His header missed the VfL goal by just a few centimeters.

Beier was also the one who provided the next highlight of the match. He finished off a quick counterattack by the Black and Yellows from a tight angle. But Grabara was alert in the 45th minute.

Even Eriksen brings no improvement

The Black and Yellows started the second 45 minutes with the same lineup. The course of the game also remained unchanged at first. The hosts controlled the match, while Wolfsburg only reacted.

Almost out of nowhere, the Lower Saxons nearly equalized. Arnold’s free-kick cross was laid off by Amoura to Koulierakis. From seven meters, the center-back hit the underside of the crossbar. The ball bounced down, barely touching the line, so Dortmund’s lead remained intact (59’).

After an hour, Denmark’s record international Eriksen made his debut for Wolfsburg and in the Bundesliga. However, not much happened on the pitch during this phase.

It wasn’t until the 75th minute that the 81,365 spectators in Signal Iduna Park saw another chance. Ryerson’s corner was powerfully headed towards the near post by Nmecha. But Grabara was alert and tipped the ball over the bar.

Kobel sent Brandt on his way with a long ball. In the penalty area, Koulierakis slid in at the last moment to take the ball off his foot (86’). The previously inconspicuous Guirassy took his first shot on goal in the 88th minute. However, Jenz blocked the attempt out for a corner.

Grabara joined the attack in stoppage time. But even the VfL keeper couldn’t find the net.

Conclusion: Dortmund was the dominant team from the start. Especially Adeyemi, who rewarded himself with the 1-0, brought a lot of energy down the right side. The lackluster Wolfsburg side found themselves almost exclusively pushed back into their own half. In the second half, BVB continued to control the match without shining. The Black and Yellows were lucky with Koulierakis’ header, as it barely touched the goal line.
