Borussia Dortmund suffered a narrow 3-1 loss to Mainz 05 at Signal Iduna Park on Sunday afternoon. The result was a disappointment for the hosts, who were hoping to bounce back from their previous defeat to RB Leipzig.
Despite the setback, Borussia Dortmund still managed to secure three points thanks to a brace from Jadon Sancho and an assist from Erling Haaland. Sancho scored twice in the first half, while Haaland added his second goal of the season after the break.
The victory was a reminder of Haaland's exceptional form this season, as he has already scored nine goals in just six Bundesliga matches. Meanwhile, Sancho's two strikes proved to be crucial in securing the win for the visitors.
In addition to Haaland and Sancho, Borussia Dortmund also received assistance from the bench in the form of Marco Reus and Kai Havertz. Both players contributed to the team's attacking threat, with Reus providing an assist for Sancho's first goal and Havertz scoring his first league goal of the campaign.
Overall, the game showcased the talent and potential of Borussia Dortmund's squad, despite the defeat. The team will now look to bounce back and continue their impressive start to the season.
