Although a close run thing, BVB’s 1-0 win over TSG Hoffenheim was ultimately well-deserved. 22 shots on goal to their opponents’ six reflects the Black & Yellows’ attacking intent and their superiority over the 90 minutes. Match-winner Marco Reus had more shots on goal (eight) than the entirety of the Hoffenheim team (six). 

1-0 – Five of BVB’s nine wins so far this season have been by a scoreline of 1-0! Marco Reus was previously the scorer of the all-important goal in the 1-0 win at home to Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga earlier in the campaign.

The landmark awaits: In his 399th game in Black & Yellow, Marco Reus scored his 165th goal for the club. Goal number 164 came 33 days previously against the same opposition, when Reus put BVB up 2-1 away in Hoffenheim to help the team on their way to a 3-1 win. 

Strong performance: Jamie Bynoe-Gittens not only set up the goal, but also had three shots on goal, contested the most duels in the first half (23, of which he won over 50%) and hit the fastest top speed of any player in the match (34 km/h).

Home run: The Black & Yellows are undefeated in their last 26 games across all competitions at SIGNAL IDUNA PARK. The last defeat at home dates back to August 2022, when Borussia went down 3-2 against Werder Bremen. 

Round of 16: BVB have now made it through the second round of the DFB-Pokal for 13 straight years since 2011. 

Great to see: This was BVB’s sixth consecutive win against TSG Hoffenheim.
