September 13, (THEWILL) – Karim Adeyemi played a pivotal role in Borussia Dortmund’s 4-2 triumph against Heidenheim on Friday night. The young forward scored twice and assisted another goal, helping his team maintain their unbeaten start to the season.
The scoring began in the 12th minute when Adeyemi provided a crucial assist to Donyell Malen. Malen delivered a low shot that found its way past Heidenheim’s goalkeeper, Kevin Muller, giving the hosts an early lead. Just six minutes later, Adeyemi doubled Dortmund’s advantage with a well-executed goal, completing a swift counter-attack.
Heidenheim responded before half-time, with Marvin Pieringer scoring via a powerful header in the 39th minute. However, Dortmund quickly restored their two-goal cushion. Adeyemi struck again, this time with a low drive that deceived Muller, sending the home side into the break with a 3-1 lead.
The visitors attempted to mount a comeback in the second half, earning a penalty in the 74th minute after a foul by Niklas Sule. Maximilian Breunig converted the spot-kick, making it 3-2 and creating a tense atmosphere in the stadium. Nevertheless, Dortmund secured their victory in stoppage time when Emre Can converted a penalty awarded for a handball by Omar Traore.
Dortmund’s impressive home record continues, with the team now unbeaten in 37 Bundesliga matches played on Fridays. This victory marks the end of Heidenheim’s six-match winning streak across all competitions. The Black and Yellow will look to build on this performance as they progress through the season.
