On Sunday evening, Borussia Dortmund produced a stunning display as they thrashed FC Augsburg 3-0 at Signal Iduna Park. The victory was the perfect way for the German champions to start their campaign in the Bundesliga.
The match started brightly for Dortmund, who dominated possession and created numerous chances. Their first real chance came on the quarter-hour mark when Jadon Sancho fired wide after being fed by Erling Haaland.
However, it was Brandt who stole the show early on. The Germany international made a fantastic run down the right wing before curling a shot past the visiting goalkeeper. It was his first goal since returning from injury and set the tone for a dominant half for Dortmund.
Adeyemi then added to the hosts' lead in the 29th minute. He beat two defenders before slotting home low into the bottom corner. The goal was a well-deserved reward for the Nigerian forward, who has been a key player for Dortmund this season.
Dortmund continued to press in search of a third goal and were rewarded late on when Brandt rounded off a good move with a cool finish. It was another impressive performance from the German international, who is showing why he is one of the best players in Europe.
Overall, Dortmund showed that they are capable of dominating games and putting teams to shame. They will be confident going into their next game against Schalke, who will also be looking to get off to a strong start.
