Borussia Dortmund beat Eintracht Frankfurt 1-0

Borussia Dortmund beat Eintracht Frankfurt 1-0 in the Bundesliga, with Maximilian Beier scoring the only goal in the 80th minute to send them top of the table.

Dortmund started the better side. Frankfurt goalkeeper Noah Atubolu saved from Serhou Guirassy around the 15th minute, then kept out his dinked effort three minutes later. Daniel Svensson also struck the woodwork for the home side in the first half. Frankfurt grew into the game as the half went on, and Gregor Kobel made a fine save to stop a dangerous attempt from the visitors. It was goalless at the break.

In the second half Dortmund coach Niko Kovač made several attacking changes as his side kept pushing. The breakthrough came in the 80th minute, when Jobe Bellingham set up Beier, who drove a powerful shot into the top right corner. Dortmund then held on to the final whistle.

The win lifts Dortmund to the top of the Bundesliga with 17 points, three ahead of second-placed Bayern Munich, who play Freiburg the next day. It also ends a run of two successive league draws for Kovač's side.
