Six games, six wins: thanks to its strength at home, BVB remains the first pursuer of front-runner FC Bayern.

After 2-0 (1-0) over 1. FC Köln, Dortmund are still the only Bundesliga team in their own stadium without losing points and are only one point behind Munich.

In front of 67,709 spectators in the sold out Signal Iduna Park, goal scorers Thorgan Hazard (40th minute) and Steffen Tigges (64th) gave BVB a lucky win and a successful dress rehearsal for the targeted Champions League revenge against Ajax Amsterdam on Wednesday.

On the other hand, the strong guests, who missed numerous opportunities, have to wait for their first Bundesliga away win of the season after their recent good performances against Leverkusen (2: 2) and in the DFB Cup at VfB Stuttgart (2: 0).
