Borussia Dortmund moved top of the Bundesliga despite being held to a goalless draw at Union Berlin, but their lead could be short-lived: second-placed SC Freiburg and third-placed Bayern Munich have a game in hand. [1]
Dortmund have 14 points after six matches, one more than Freiburg and three more than Bayern. Bayern host RB Leipzig on Saturday, while Freiburg visit Bayer Leverkusen on Sunday. [1]
The draw extended Dortmund’s winless run to three matches. Niko Kovač’s side drew 2-2 at home to Werder Bremen last week and lost 1-0 away to FK Bodø/Glimt in the Champions League on Wednesday. Joey Veerman, a Netherlands international, remained on the bench throughout the Union match. Kovač extended his contract through to the summer of 2029 on Tuesday. [1]
