Dortmund Edges Augsburg 1-0 with Guirassy Ending Goal Drought

Serhou Guirassy scored the sole goal in Borussia Dortmund's 1-0 victory over Augsburg, ending his four-match Bundesliga goal drought and helping Dortmund move to second place in the league, four points behind Bayern Munich. The goal came in the 37th minute after a defensive error involving Augsburg's Chrislain Matsima and Han-Noah Massengo, allowing Guirassy to slot the ball past goalkeeper Finn Dahmen. Dortmund showed defensive solidity throughout the match, maintaining their sixth clean sheet in nine Bundesliga games, despite Augsburg's increased pressure in the second half. The win was significant for Dortmund, marking coach Niko Kovac's third league victory against Augsburg and snapping a three-game losing streak versus the team. This result serves as a positive lead-up for Dortmund ahead of their upcoming UEFA Champions League fixture against Manchester City. Augsburg remain near the relegation zone, sitting 15th in the standings after the loss.
