Borussia Dortmund defeated VfL Wolfsburg 2:1, narrowing the gap to FC Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga title race, thanks to a late goal from Serhou Guirassy.

In a thrilling Bundesliga match, Borussia Dortmund faced VfL Wolfsburg and secured a crucial 2:1 victory. The match saw Dortmund struggling initially, but Serhou Guirassy emerged as the hero with a decisive goal in the 87th minute, marking his ninth goal of the season. His performance played a pivotal role in preventing a potential setback for Dortmund and their coach Niko Kovač, who returned to Wolfsburg amid high stakes in the title race.

Wolfsburg, fighting against relegation, displayed resilience and were arguably equal to Dortmund during the match, missing several key opportunities, especially from Mohammed Amoura, who made his return following suspension.
