Dortmund maintains perfect record in Bundesliga as round three concludes

Borussia Dortmund continued its flawless start to the Bundesliga season, securing a 3-0 victory over Paderborn to achieve a perfect 3-0 record after three matchdays. The match, held on September 12, 2026, saw Fabio Silva open the scoring early following an assist from Guirassy. Despite Paderborn’s attempts to remain competitive, goalkeeper Noll could not prevent two late goals from Nmecha, including a bicycle kick in the 89th minute that sealed the result. Player Karetsas observed the match from the stands as he continues his recovery from injury.

Elsewhere in the league, the third round features significant storylines, including the early struggles of Hoffenheim, which lost its first two matches, each by a 3-2 scoreline. Hoffenheim is scheduled to face OFI Crete in the Europa League opener on September 17. Meanwhile, Bundesliga newcomers Elversberg have surprised observers by winning their first two matches, including a comeback victory against Bayer Leverkusen. The league continues with further action as teams adjust to their form following early continental commitments, such as Stuttgart’s recent Champions League win over Viking.
