BVB v Köln sets two Bundesliga season records | OneFootball

When Borussia Dortmund won 1-0 against 1. FC Köln on Saturday, two previous Bundesliga records for this season were broken. Each club can claim one of these records for themselves. Here are the details about the numbers that underline BVB’s enormous dominance during these 90 minutes.

As also noted in the press reviews of the match, 1. FC Köln actually got off to the better start. Several situations could have led to BVB falling behind at home. Since these chances went unused and Borussia Dortmund became increasingly dominant as the match progressed, the Black and Yellows created numerous chances on goal.

To be precise, there were a total of 30 shots on goal in the duel with 1. FC Köln, produced by Niko Kovac’s players. With this, they set a new season record for the entire Bundesliga—and as is well known, they were ultimately successful when Maximilian Beier converted the last of these attempts in the 96th minute for the winning goal.

Marvin Schwäbe with a top performance but still beaten

Up until that point, Dortmund had time and again either failed due to a lack of finishing or the outstanding Marvin Schwäbe in the 1. FC Köln goal. His performance at Signal Iduna Park on Saturday was so strong that Kicker named him Player of the Match.

A performance that was also reflected in the objective statistics. Marvin Schwäbe made ten saves, preventing Borussia from scoring. This figure is also a new high for the 2025/26 season across all Bundesliga matches. However, since he did not manage to keep a clean sheet at the final whistle in Dortmund, this top performance and new record will offer him little consolation. In addition, Saturday’s match was already his sixth encounter with Borussia Dortmund, and Schwäbe has yet to keep a clean sheet against them.
