Full-time: Union Berlin 0-2 Borussia Dortmund

The visitors pick all three points in the capital! Union started well, but BVB improved as the game went on and broke the deadlock through Karim Adeyemi's stunner. It looked like the one strike would be enough, but Ian Maatsen scored his first goal since his January loan move from Chelsea to secure the win.

Dortmund put the game to bed

Union leave plenty of space at the back as they desperately go in search of a goal, and Maatsen takes advantage, picking Juranović's pocket before bearing down on goal and slotting into the corner.
