Maximilian Beier scores late winner as Dortmund reach Bundesliga top
Borussia Dortmund moved to the summit of the early Bundesliga table with a 1-0 victory over VfB Stuttgart on Saturday thanks to a 70th-minute goal by Maximilian Beier.
Late strike ends long title drought
Beier tapped in a cross from Jobe Bellingham to secure the win. This result marks Dortmund's first time at the top of the table since May 2023, ending a run of 1,212 days without leading the league.
Team wins opening four matches
The victory also represents the first occasion in ten years that Dortmund have won their first four league games. Beier entered the match after missing selection for the Germany squad due to his World Cup participation.
Injured player returns from bench
Konstantinos Karetsas came off the substitutes bench just after the hour mark following a cardiovascular issue earlier in September. He slid a pass to Bellingham who set up Beier for the decisive goal with twenty minutes left.
