Guirassy ends goal drought – BVB see off Bremen 3-0 | OneFootball

Guirassy and BVB breathe a sigh of relief. For the first time since the end of October 2025, Borussia Dortmund's center forward scores a goal in the Bundesliga. In the 83rd minute, he puts the finishing touch on the 3-0 (1-0) victory against Werder Bremen. Schlotterbeck (11') and Sabitzer (76') had given BVB a 2-0 lead.

After the wild 3-3 draw in Frankfurt, there were three changes to BVB’s starting lineup: Svensson, Brandt, and Guirassy (all on the bench) were replaced by Yan Couto, Chukwuemeka, and Fábio Silva.

Fast-paced opening phase from Bremen. Of all people, former Dortmund player Njinmah made the first statement when, in the fifth minute, after a double stepover, he aimed for the right corner. However, Kobel dove in time.

The goal, however, was scored by the hosts. A corner from Ryerson was headed into the net by Schlotterbeck after eleven minutes to make it 1-0.

SV Werder did not appear shocked by the deficit. With through balls, the Hanseatic team repeatedly put BVB in trouble. Borussia did not always look secure in the process.

Towards the end of the first half, the match became increasingly flat. The Black and Yellows played too carelessly, allowing too many misplaced passes. However, Bremen also failed to create any real danger.

At halftime, the Dortmund players had to endure some whistles from the crowd.

BVB increases the pressure

Can came on for Süle, who had already been booked.

Dortmund tried to apply more pressure in the second half. Real danger for the Bremen goal only arose after 57 minutes—and then through Beier, twice in quick succession. First, Werder keeper Backhaus made a save, then Friedl blocked the follow-up.

Sabitzer came even closer to making it 2-0 in the 65th minute, but his shot from the edge of the box flew over the crossbar.

BVB now controlled the game, no longer allowing the Weser team to develop their play. In the 76th minute, the time finally came. In his 250th Bundesliga match, Sabitzer hammered the ball into the bottom corner with a dropkick.

The second goal from the Black and Yellows had an effect. Pieper hesitated too long with his pass in his own penalty area. Bellingham intervened and blocked the ball, which fell to Guirassy’s feet. The center forward ended his goal drought and slotted the ball into the bottom right corner to make it 3-0 (83').

Conclusion: Bremen did not hide and caused Dortmund some problems with through balls. The early lead did not bring security to BVB’s game. The hosts made too many misplaced passes in the build-up in the first half. After the restart, Borussia intensified their efforts and ultimately worked their way to a 3-0 win over a brave Bremen side.
