Borussia Dortmund: The journey of Die Borussen

Dortmund ease past Ausburg

Dortmund 3-0 Ausburg

This was a much easier match than at the Bernabeu and we dominated from start to finish. Leankowski lead our attack brilliantly bagging a brace; he seems to be adding a real threat in front of goal to the team.

Dortmund edge past Hoffenheim in nail biting encounter

Hoffenheim 2-3 Dortmund

This was a very different affair to our previous clash with Ausburg. We got off to a flyer taking the lead through Kevin Grobkreutz on 41 seconds. IT was 2-0 to us after 45 minutes but Hoffenheim were much sharper and some defensive lapes from marcel shemelzer in particular cost us as they leveled things up very late. However Mario Gotze popped up at the back post to tuck in a Kevin Grobkreutz's low cross in stoppage time. This continues our winning streak and see's us move to 3rd in the league after Schalke dropped points against Hertha Berlin.

Dortmund thrash Hertha Berlin with vintage display

Dortmund 6-0 Hertha Berlin

This was our best performance of the season by a mile. We dominated in all areas of the pitch. Robert Leankowski was absolutely outstanding and bagged 4 goals, all of outstanding quality. This extends our winning run to 6 games and I definitely believe that it could go on.

Dortmund brought back down to earth against Schalke

Dortmund stroll past sub-standard Kaisersluaten

Kaiserslauten 0-2 Dortmund

This was just too easy; by no means did we perform that well either, kaiserslauten are just a very below par team with no real threat at all.

Dortmund hang on to extend unbeaten run

Dortmund 2-1 Hannover 96

This was a tale of two halves; we played brilliantly in the first half and a deservedly held a 2-0 lead coming into the break. However, in the second half, we were poor and i honestly think that if it wasn't for our goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller we could have lost. SAnyway, its the result taht matters and this is a vital 3 points to strengthen our title bid.

Dortmund come from behind against Borussia M'gladbach in thriller

Borussia M'gladbach 2-3 Dortmund

This was an absolute thriller. We were diabolical in the first half and found ourselves 2-0 behind coming into the break. The second half was a different story all together, I put Grobkreutz on for Leankowski and this proved to be a a golden move as he bagged a hatrick. The winner came in stoppage time to continue Dortmund's outstanding run in the league.

Die Borrusen ease past Nuremburg in one sided affair

Nuremberg 0-3 Dortmund

This was a first class display from the lads. Again we looked lethal going forward and Kagawa's creativity and skill proved unplayable at times and again he turned in a performance of the highest quality. However the stand out performer was fans favourite Kevin Grobkreutz who bagged a hatrick who took his goal tally up to 10 this season.

Dortmund sink Lyon in close event

Dortmund 2-1 Lyon

This was a vital 3 points and put us in second place in our group meaning (as it stands) we will qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League. Leankowski got us off to a flyer scoring after 2 minutes and Sven Bender doubled our lead with a long range effort just shy of 45 minutes. Lyon got one back through Yoann Gorcuff but we hung on to seal a very good win.

Dortmund fail to make chances pay vs Wolfsburg

Wolfsburg 1-1 Dortmund
