Dortmund’s attack seems unstoppable

Since the beginning of the second half of the season, Borussia Dortmund have scored 5 goals in all three of their games. That’s pretty insane in this sport, with goal scoring at a premium. Since the addition of Erling Haaland, Dortmund seem to be able to score at will. So many times in the first half of the season Dortmund would be up 2-1 and be unable to score that crucial third goal and it would result in points being dropped. No such problem exists thus far in the second half of the Bundesliga.

While the three teams they have played are not top opposition it is impressive none the less. With games against Werder Bremen and Bayer Leverkusen coming up next, it will be interesting to see if Dortmund’s attack can keep this up.
