Borussia Dortmund secured their place in the top three of the Bundesliga table with a resounding 2-0 victory over Hertha BSC at Signal Iduna Park on Sunday.
The match was dominated by Borussia Dortmund, who took control from the outset and were rewarded for their efforts with a goalless first half. However, it wasn't until the second half that the home side found their breakthrough, as Erling Haaland scored his 15th goal of the season to put them ahead.
Hertha BSC had chances to level the scores, but they couldn't find the back of the net. In fact, they didn't have much of a chance to create any meaningful opportunities, as Borussia Dortmund's defensive solidity ensured that they kept a clean sheet.
The win means that Borussia Dortmund will finish the season in third place, just one point behind Bayern Munich and four points clear of fourth-placed RB Leipzig. The result also puts them in a strong position for next season, as they can now focus on building on their impressive form this season.
Overall, it was a dominant display from Borussia Dortmund, who showed why they are considered one of the best teams in Germany. They will be looking to continue their excellent form into the new year and beyond, as they look to secure a place in Europe's elite club competition.
