Borussia Dortmund beats Paderborn to maintain perfect league record

Borussia Dortmund defeated Paderborn 3-0 on Saturday, marking a successful domestic outing following their mid-week Champions League victory. Fabio Solva opened the scoring in the fifth minute, though head coach Niko Kovac acknowledged the squad struggled initially to find their rhythm after a 3-2 win against Villarreal four days prior. Two goals from Serhou Guirassy were disallowed for offside before Felix Nmecha came off the bench to score in the closing stages. The result keeps Borussia Dortmund undefeated with a 100 percent record in the league this season. They have now conceded only two goals through their opening matches. Kovac noted after the fixture that his team displayed improved quality in the second half to secure the win.
