Another clean sheet: new club record and top European mark for BVB | OneFootball

On Friday evening at FC Augsburg, Borussia Dortmund confirmed their positive development since the appointment of coach Niko Kovac in February with a 1-0 victory. While Serhou Guirassy ended his small drought of 438 goalless minutes in the Bundesliga with the golden goal, once again a strong defensive performance was the guarantee for three points.

Since the wild 3-3 on the first matchday at FC St. Pauli, BVB has conceded only two goals in the last eight Bundesliga matches. Two at FC Bayern Munich (1-2) and one against RB Leipzig (1-1), who on average score 3.75 and 2.0 goals per 90 minutes respectively, thus scoring below average against BVB.

Even ahead of FC Bayern and level with Arsenal

In the other six league games, Borussia kept a clean sheet and thus set a new club record. Never before had BVB gone without conceding a goal in six of the first nine matchdays. FC Bayern, otherwise the benchmark, currently stands at five Bundesliga games without conceding a goal, but can still catch up today in the match against Bayer Leverkusen.

Internationally, BVB's defensive record is also outstanding. In the five top leagues in Europe, only FC Arsenal, the leader of the English Premier League, also has six games without conceding a goal.
