Borussia Dortmund took the points with a 2-0 win over Hamburger SV, settling it with a goal inside the first ten minutes and a second on the stroke of half-time. Hamburg had chances of their own but could not convert.
Serhou Guirassy opened the scoring from Konstantinos Karetsas' assist after nine minutes, and Sebastiaan Bornauw doubled the lead in the 45th. Hamburg's task grew harder when Samuele Inacio was shown a red card in the 77th minute.
Dortmund controlled the game, keeping 57% possession and firing 20 shots to Hamburg's six, though their expected-goals figure of 1.41 was not overwhelming. Hamburg created two big chances and missed both, and it took five saves from the Hamburg goalkeeper to keep the score respectable.
