Borussia Dortmund II returned to winning ways on Monday evening as they secured a hard fought 1-0 win over SV Wehen Wiesbaden. 

Borussia Dortmund II faced another tough away game in the 3. Liga on Monday evening as they went up against SV Wehen Wiesbaden. Both teams were on 14 points going into the game, and fans at the Brita-Arena were treated to an entertaining clash between the two teams.

It was a captivating game right from the start, with both teams creating decent early chances to take the lead. It was the young Black and Yellows who struck first, with Berkan Taz getting on the end of Christian Viet’s pass before expertly dribbling past a defender and finding the back of the net.

It was a well taken goal from Taz, who has made an impressive start to the season after joining the BVB U-23s in the summer. The 22 year old now has four goals and two assists to his name in nine 3. Liga appearances so far this season.

Borussia Dortmund II continued to create the better chances after their goal, with Tobias Raschl pulling the strings from midfield. Berkan Taz and Richmond Tachie both forced saves from the Wiesbaden goalkeeper in the first half.

The home side looked more dangerous after the break, but Enrico Maaßen’s side defended well and made sure that they kept their clean sheet and got the three points.
