Overview
- Julian Brandt headed Dortmund in front from a Julian Ryerson corner before Konstantinos Koulierakis leveled for Wolfsburg from a set piece.
- Serhou Guirassy struck in the 87th minute after link-up play by Fábio Silva and Felix Nmecha to clinch a 2-1 victory.
- The win moves Dortmund to 48 points and provisionally trims Bayern’s advantage to three ahead of the champions’ visit to in-form Hoffenheim.
- Dortmund navigated the match without captain Emre Can, who is sidelined for about a month, as a thin squad faces a congested run.
- Wolfsburg, hovering near the relegation places, wasted second-half chances as Mohamed Amoura misfired and Maximilian Arnold hit the crossbar, while the match marked Kovac’s 100th Bundesliga coaching win.
