On Saturday, Borussia Dortmund maintained their Bundesliga title fight with a 2-0 win away to Wolfsburg.
It was a game of a few moments of quality. The xG scores of Wolfsburg’s 0.37 to Borussia Dortmund’s 0.57 paint a good picture, where there were only three shots on target the entire game, two from Dortmund, and one from Wolfsburg. The xG dynamics of the game show long periods of time where there was little goal threat whatsoever.
However, Dortmund took their chances, with Raphaël Guerreiro continuing his goal-scoring form in the restart of the Bundesliga, whilst Jadon Sancho came on and showed his ball-carrying prowess, driving from the half-way line to inside the 18-yard box, before slotting in Achraf Hakimi to his right for yet another assist.
It wasn’t a great attacking performance by either side, obviously, but Wolfsburg were particularly disappointing. Wout Weghorst had a first half to forget, failing to successfully hold up the ball and bring his teammates into the attack at any point, but admittedly his service wasn’t great either.
