Dortmund celebrates the jump into the Champions League with 3-0 against Kiel!

Dortmund, Deutschland - On the final matchday of the German Bundesliga on May 17, 2025, Borussia Dortmund won a decisive 3-0 victory against Holstein Kiel and thus secured a place in the Champions League. Trainer Niko Kovac can build in particular on the strong team spirit and the effectiveness of its players.

The day started for Dortmund brilliant when Serhou Guirassy scored the lead with a converted penalty in the third minute. The penalty was caused by a foul by Holtby to NMECHA. Although Dortmund was outnumbered - Carl Johansson von Kiel saw the red card after a foul on adeyemi in the ninth minute - the team initially struggled to dominate the game. BVB goalie Kobel was thanks to the fact that the game was not yet tie when he defended a shot from Machino with a parade.

In the 73rd minute, Felix Nmecha set the end of a successful season for the Dortmund with the 3-0. In contrast, SC Freiburg experienced a disappointing afternoon.
