May 21, (THEWILL) – Borussia Dortmund stormed to the top of the Bundesliga table with a vital 3-0 triumph over Augsburg, courtesy of a stellar performance by Sebastien Haller.
In a match with ramifications for the title race, Dortmund leapfrogged Bayern Munich to claim the summit after the reigning champions suffered a 3-1 defeat to RB Leipzig on Saturday as THEWILL reported. Haller, displaying his prowess in front of goal, opened the scoring shortly before the hour mark and sealed his brace with six minutes remaining.
Julian Brandt added to the scoreline in stoppage time, securing a crucial victory and giving Dortmund a two-point lead. With only one match remaining, a win against Mainz next Saturday would secure Dortmund’s first Bundesliga title in 11 years.
Meanwhile, Augsburg find themselves in a precarious position, currently sitting in 14th place and just two points ahead of 16th-place Bochum as they head into the final weekend, uncertain about their top-flight future.
On Saturday, Augsburg will face Monchengladbach, while Dortmund will take on Mainz in their respective Bundesliga matches.
