#### Adeyemi's Double
Thomas Müller, known for his prolific goalscoring record, delivered two crucial strikes that helped Dortmund secure the win.

Marco Reus' goal in the 64th minute was also pivotal. After a series of excellent passes and runs through midfield, Reus found himself one-on-one with goalkeeper Oliver Kahn and calmly slid the ball past him, scoring what proved to be the winning goal for Dortmund.
Reus' contribution is equally remarkable, as he now has 75 goals in 86 appearances for Borussia Dortmund. This statistic places him in third place on the all-time list for most goals in a Bundesliga career, behind only Franz Beckenbauer and Robert Lewandowski. Reus' consistency and ability to score consistently from various positions on the field have been key factors in Dortmund's success.
