Dortmund takes the top of the Bundesliga table

Dortmund kicks the latest in the series of the 29th round of the Bundesliga on April 22. But long before the ball rolled against Frankfurt, Westfalen Stadium opened up when loudspeakers continuously updated the main event of the match at Mainz, where the host scored three consecutive goals to defeat the top team Bayern 3. -first.

Encouraged by the defeat of their great rival and the opportunity to rise to the top of the table, the black and yellow shirt team played their best football since the beginning of the season. Dortmund only held the ball 55%, but excelled in the game when finishing 14 times with seven goals and scoring four goals. Frankfurt won the Europa League last season and reached the eighth round of the Champions League this season, but melted in the fiery atmosphere of Westfalen. The whole match the away team only had 2 times to hit the ball on target from 9 shots and was completely overwhelmed.

Dortmund only took 19 minutes to open the scoring. They went up the ball rhythmically on the left and then put it in the middle in front of the penalty area for Jude Bellingham to support the left foot, turn to kick the ball with the right foot, and sink the ball into the far corner. This is the English central midfielder's fifth goal in the Bundesliga this season, more than he has totaled - just four - for Dortmund in 61 games in the previous two seasons.

By 24 minutes, the lead was doubled from a quick attack. After a long swing at home, the ball went over the heads of two players in yellow and black shirts before entering the penalty area so that Donny Malen was present at the right time to kick the Frankfurt goalkeeper in a face-to-face position. The match was decided in the first half when captain midfielder Mats Hummels joined the header to make it 3-0 in 41.

In the second half, despite playing leisurely, Dortmund still scored one more goal from Malen's one-touch finish after the Frankfurt defense was disturbed by Karim Adeyemi's tricky dribbling situation.

The victory put Dortmund to the top of the table with 60 points, with 1 point more than Bayern. This is the first time Dortmund has led the Bundesliga after round 29 since the 2011-2012 season - also the last season they won this playground. The current position plus the decline of Bayern is opening a great opportunity for Dortmund to return to the Bundesliga throne.

On the Westfalen field, after the goals of Bellingham and Malen, the Dortmund fans continuously sang: "Who will win Germany? Dortmund! Who will win Germany? Dortmund!". Meanwhile, coach Edin Terzic is still very cautious, refusing to talk about the opportunity to be crowned. "I'm pleased with the result, but the team still has a lot of work to do, and has only taken one step further on its journey this season," he said.

In the 30th round, Dortmund will host Bochum on April 29, Bayern will play at home, and receive Hertha Berlin a day later.
