Dortmund won 1-0 at Stuttgart on September 19. Beier finished a Jobe Bellingham cross. Four wins, 12 points and top spot before the international break.
The goal arrived in the 70th minute from a Jobe Bellingham assist. A goalless first half had left the game finely balanced before the decisive action gave the visitors the edge.
TBO SPORT analysis: The value of patience
Four consecutive wins do not mean four identical matches. This 1-0 away victory shows the value of staying in a tight contest until an opening appears. Reading the result should acknowledge both the pass that creates the opportunity and the finish that converts it: complementary contributions rather than competing explanations for the win.
The club’s yellow and black also appear in the store’s Borussia Dortmund shirt, from the 2025/26 season.
The next stretch
Dortmund have 12 points from a possible 12 and lead the table entering the international break. Their next scheduled league game is against Werder Bremen on October 9. The current position is an early advantage, not a verdict on the championship’s outcome.
