Borussia Dortmund secured a 0-2 win at Mainz on Saturday afternoon, setting a new Bundesliga record in the process. Per Opta, Niko Kovač’s side were in the lead at half-time for the 10th league game in a row – a new milestone in Germany’s top flight.

Daniel Svensson opened the scoring for Borussia Dortmund, netting his second Bundesliga goal for his new club after capping off a fine counter-attack after Mainz’ Paul Nebel hit Gregor Kobel’s post at the other end. Karim Adeyemi then doubled Dortmund’s lead in the 40th minute after another superb counter-attack, giving BVB a 0-2 lead heading into half-time.

Borussia Dortmund have led at half-time in their last 10 Bundesliga matches, against: Mainz, Wolfsburg, Heidenheim, Union Berlin, St. Pauli, Holstein Kiel, Bayer Leverkusen, Wolfsburg, Hoffenheim and Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Borussia Dortmund maintain unbeaten start

Speaking after the game, Kovač commended his team’s performance: “The team played very disciplined and organised for 90 minutes. We scored the goals at the right time and were a bit lucky with the shot that hit the post, which led us to score our first goal right afterwards.

“I saw a team today that finished the game the way we should on the road. We didn’t concede anything else – or at least very little. So I’m very happy and proud of the boys that they rewarded themselves with this performance.”
