BVB set these two Bundesliga season records in Wolfsburg | OneFootball

In the remarkably fortunate 2-1 victory over VfL Wolfsburg, BVB set two records for the current Bundesliga season. One refers to a statistic achieved in the first half, which is higher than that of any other club in any other half this season. The other is a league-wide record set by one of Dortmund’s two goal scorers in Wolfsburg.

Although it may not have seemed that way to the less attentive observer, BVB played with noticeable determination in the first half. Although this resulted in relatively few rewards, no Bundesliga team has had as many shots in either half this season as BVB did in Wolfsburg. The Borussians fired at VfL keeper Kamil Grabara’s goal an impressive 18 times.

The fact that only one goal resulted from this may not speak for the efficiency of Dortmund’s offensive efforts. However, the team’s determination in this first half cannot be denied. Coincidentally, the scorer of that only first-half goal was Julian Brandt, who put his side ahead 1-0.

Brandt scores the opening goal for BVB for the fourth time

Indeed, scoring the opening goal—making it 1-0—has already been achieved by Julian Brandt for the fourth time this season. No other Bundesliga player has reached this mark, securing Brandt this season’s record.

In addition, this was already his sixth league goal of the season. With this, Brandt surpasses his tally from last season, when he scored five Bundesliga goals for BVB. In fact, since joining Borussia Dortmund in 2019, he has only been more successful after Matchday 21 once than he is now.

In the 2022/23 season, he had already scored seven goals by this point. Back then, he finished with nine goals, which remains his personal record for a season. However, he also scored as many goals in the previous Bundesliga season, as well as in two seasons during his time at Bayer Leverkusen (2015/16 and 2018/19).

With his sixth goal, Julian Brandt also draws level with second-placed Maximilian Beier in the club’s top scorer list. Leading that list is the other Dortmund goal scorer in Wolfsburg, Serhou Guirassy, who now stands at nine goals after his latest success.
