Ap, Frankfurt :
Borussia Dortmund’s new signings proved their class in a hard-earned 3-1 Bundesliga win over promoted Freiburg on Friday.
Substitute Raphael Guerreiro scored his second goal in two matches to seal the victory in injury time against a well-organized team that keeps dropping and returning to the Bundesliga.
Along with the win and more goals – 20 in the past four games – Dortmund also tied a club record by staying undefeated in 24 straight home matches.
Dortmund’s highly-talented 19-year-old wingers, Ousmane Dembele and Emre Mor, tormented Freiburg’s defense in the first half. Mor hit the crossbar with a sublime shot, while Dembele’s speedy dribbling entertained the fans.
With time running out in the first half, Mario Goetze began the move that led to Dortmund’s first goal, feeding Dembele at the edge of the area. Dembele took a couple of steps forward and then slipped a perfect pass to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang at the far post and the Gabon striker slid to tap the ball home.
While Aubameyang began celebrating his fifth goal of the season, other Dortmund players piled on Dembele, whose skill created the goal.
