Borussia Dortmund have secured their place in the Bundesliga title race with a resounding victory over FC Augsburg on Sunday. The game was played at Signal Iduna Park, where Borussia Dortmund were dominant throughout.
The match got off to a slow start, but Borussia Dortmund's dominance was evident from the first whistle. They started the game well, creating chances for themselves and forcing FC Augsburg into making mistakes.
In the 14th minute, Borussia Dortmund took the lead through a header from Kai Havertz. In the 25th minute, Jadon Sancho added to the lead with a shot that went straight past the goalkeeper.
In the second half, Borussia Dortmund continued to dominate the game. They scored twice more in the final 20 minutes, thanks to goals from Erling Haaland and Erlinho. Haaland scored his 17th goal of the season, while Erlinho scored his first goal since joining Borussia Dortmund from RB Leipzig.
FC Augsburg, on the other hand, struggled to create any meaningful opportunities. They had just two shots on target in the entire match, and they found themselves under pressure as Borussia Dortmund increased their lead.
Despite being under pressure, FC Augsburg refused to give up. They created some good chances in the last few minutes, but it was too little too late as Borussia Dortmund held on to secure all three points.
Borussia Dortmund will now be looking to maintain their lead at the top of the table, while FC Augsburg will need to focus on improving their defensive performance if they want to avoid relegation this season.
