Borussia Dortmund won a convincing home victory over Werder Bremen in the match of the 17th round of the German Bundesliga. The meeting at Signal Iduna Park ended with a score of 3:0, although in the first half the visitors created several dangerous moments near the goal of Gregor Kobel.

The home team opened the scoring in the 11th minute — Niko Schlotterback was left unguarded during a corner kick and accurately headed in from close range. Before the break, Werder had several great opportunities to equalize, but Njinmach and Grul were unable to convert their chances.

After the break, Borussia increased their aggression and began to completely control the game. In the 76th minute, Marcel Zabitzer marked his 250th match in the Bundesliga with a spectacular shot from the edge of the penalty area, doubling Dortmund’s lead. And Sera Girassi put an end to the meeting, who in the 83rd minute coolly realized his moment and interrupted the goalless streak in the championship.

Thus, Borussia Dortmund deservedly took three points and continue to fight for the top positions in the tournament table, while Werder, despite a decent resistance in the first half, were defeated.
