Borussia Dortmund 2-0 Bayer Leverkusen: Brandt Stars with Goal and Assist, Adeyemi Secures First Win

Borussia Dortmund secured their first win of the Bundesliga season against Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday evening at Signal Iduna Park. The game was full of action from start to finish as both teams put in a strong performance.

The match began with Borussia Dortmund taking control of the game early on, creating several chances for themselves. However, it wasn't until the 45th minute that they broke through. Christian Pulisic found himself one-on-one with Leverkusen goalkeeper Gregor Kobel, and he slotted home a low shot to give his side the lead.

Just four minutes later, Jadon Sancho added to the lead for Dortmund. He played a clever pass to Brandt, who then beat Kobel to score his second goal of the season.

Despite being down two goals, Bayer Leverkusen fought back in the second half. They were able to create some chances, but they couldn't find the back of the net. In fact, it was Borussia Dortmund who had the best chance of the game late on when Julian Draxler fired wide after good work from Sancho.

Despite the loss, Bayer Leverkusen manager Peter Bosz praised his players' attitude throughout the match. "We started well and created some good opportunities, but we weren't able to convert them," he said. "I'm proud of the way my team fought until the end."

On the other hand, Borussia Dortmund coach Lucien Favre was delighted with his team's performance. "We deserved to win this game, especially considering the number of chances we created," he said. "It was a great team effort and I'm very happy with how our players reacted under pressure."

Overall, it was another solid performance from Borussia Dortmund, who remain top of the table heading into the international break. They will now take on Eintracht Frankfurt next weekend, looking to maintain their winning form.
