Wolfsburg 1-2 Borussia Dortmund: Guirassy nets late winner to keep pressure on Bayern

Serhou Guirassy netted a dramatic 87th-minute winner to carry Borussia Dortmund to a 2-1 win over Wolfsburg at the Volkswagen Arena on Saturday.

The victory extended Dortmund’s unbeaten Bundesliga run to 14 matches, and their winning streak to five, while also cutting the gap to league leaders Bayern Munich down to just three points ahead of Vincent Kompany’s side facing Hoffenheim on Sunday.

Julian Brandt broke the deadlock seven minutes before the break, nodding home off Julian Ryerson’s cross as Kamil Grabara failed to keep the effort out despite getting a touch on the ball.

But Brandt’s opener was swiftly cancelled out in the 52nd minute as centre-back Konstantinos Koulierakis rose highest to head home and level the scores.

With the match ebbing towards a draw that would have significantly set Dortmund’s title hopes back, Guirassy came to the fore with a crucial winner.

The striker met Fabio Silva’s set-up before rifling a low finish into the left corner to seal the victory three minutes from time.
