Borussia Dortmund came from behind to beat Hoffenheim on Saturday, while second-division side SV Elversberg continued their remarkable cup run, according to welt.de.
The match saw Dortmund turn the game around after falling behind. Reports from Kicker and BILD credit striker Serhou Guirassy with sparking the comeback, with an own goal from Hoffenheim also playing a decisive role in the final score. Dortmund defender Waldemar Anton called the response a "top reaction" from his team, as quoted by sportschau.de.
The win keeps Dortmund perfect at the start of the new Bundesliga season, per sportschau.de. Meanwhile, Elversberg's story remains one of the most surprising in German football this year. n-tv.de described their latest result as "another wild sensation," though the specific opponent and competition were not detailed in the available reports.
The broader weekend in German football also featured a heavy result elsewhere, with Werder Bremen defeating RB Leipzig by a wide margin, as noted in n-tv.de's roundup. That result, combined with Dortmund's comeback, highlights an eventful early-season slate across the top two divisions.
Elversberg, a club from the small town in Saarland, have already made headlines this season for punching above their weight. Their continued success adds a layer of intrigue to cup competitions, where lower-league sides often chase giant-killings.
For Dortmund, the focus shifts to maintaining momentum after their second-half revival. The team will look to build on the win as they aim to keep pace at the top of the table. Elversberg, meanwhile, will hope their fairytale run can carry into the next round, with their opponents yet to be confirmed in the reports available.
