Borussia Dortmund moved to the top of the Bundesliga on Saturday thanks to a late goal from Beier (80th minute) against Eintracht Frankfurt (1-0) in Matchday 7 of the German championship. The Borussen now hold a three-point advantage over Bayern Munich.

After two consecutive draws that had stalled their momentum, the BvB side found their way back to victory by the narrowest of margins. Beier, brought on in the final quarter of an hour, made the difference with a decisive strike to give Dortmund a fifth win in seven matches — and their first place as leaders of the German elite this season.

The team remains unbeaten in the Bundesliga since the start of the season, a consistency that contrasts with the difficulties encountered last season. Defensive solidity against an ambitious Frankfurt was the other key takeaway from this match.

Bayern Munich, who can reclaim top spot as early as Sunday, travel to Freiburg. A slip-up by the Bavarians would further consolidate Dortmund’s position, who had not occupied first place at this stage of the season for several years.
