JAKARTA - Borussia Dortmund narrowly won 1-0 over Werder Bremen in a German Bundesliga duel at Signal Iduna Park, Saturday, October 21 in the morning WIB. Winning through a single goal Julian Brandt led Dortmund to the top of the standings.

Competition is getting tighter in the German Bundesliga. The feud not only involves Bayer Levekusen and Bayern Munich but also VfB Stuttgart and definitely arch rivals, Dortmund.

Dortmund temporarily perched at the top after winning positive results at home to Bremen. Victory at home makes Die Borussien pocket points. One point lead from Leverkusen who dropped to second place.

Meanwhile, Stuttgart, who is in third place, has 18 points. Competition is really because Bayern, who are in fourth position, also have 17.

The position of the three teams could change and Dortmund lost their position when they won over their opponents. Meanwhile, Bremen is still stuck at the bottom. They are ranked 14th with six points.

The match began with a moment of silence for 'unfortunate victims' in the Israeli-Hamas conflict and two Swedish citizens who were victims of the shooting in Brussels. The incident occurred ahead of the Euro 2024 qualifying match between Belgium and Sweden.

Dortmund, who appeared at home, showed dominance, especially in the first half. Only, they struggled to score because the defense organization that was very strong from Bremen Gelandang Marco Reus got a good chance when he received a ride from Brandt. But his shot hasn't paid off because it's still wide.

Furthermore, it was Donyell Malen's winger's turn to break the deadlock. His efforts were fruitless because his shot was blocked by goalkeeper Michael Zetterer. The first half ended without any goals being created.

In the second half, Dortmund continued to play aggressively suppressing their opponents. However, their efforts have not yielded results. Including Malen who got a second chance, but he failed to complete it into a goal.

Dortmund's patience finally paid off in the 67th minute. Brandt, who marked his 300th appearance with Dortmund, fired a hull that goalkeeper failed to reach.

The score changed to 1-0. No more goals were created and Dortmund closed the match with the score.
