This convincing victory leaves the team from the Ruhr area in second place, six points behind Bayern, who have one game in hand, but with the ticket for the next edition of the Champions League almost in their pocket.
Despite the casualties in the squad (10 players), Borussia Dortmund made Wolfsburg’s ‘Wolves’ go through an ordeal.
In the midst of a great atmosphere at Signal Iduna Park, with 82,000 spectators in its stands, Dortmund took the roller to sign five goals in a span of just 14 minutes.
Marco Rose’s team opened the can through Tom Rothe, 17, in his first start in the Bundesliga (24′). The Germany Under-19 international sent the ball into the back of the net with a header from a corner by Julian Brandt.
The Belgian Axel Witsel doubled the lead almost without giving Wolfsburg time to assimilate it (26′), and before half an hour into the game the Swiss Manuel Akanji had already sentenced by finishing off a direct free kick that Marco Reus put in the heart of the area ( 29′), with one more goal from Emre Can from a long shot in the 34th minute to clear up any uncertainty in the second half.
– Haaland, with 18 goals –
Since April 2013, Dortmund did not reach the break with a 5-0 scoreline.
Before the break, Erling Haaland found himself again with the goal (38′) to then repeat it in the 54th minute. Despite a season hampered by injuries, the Norwegian already has 18 goals in the Bundesliga.
