Match Report
Nmecha Brace Powers Dortmund Past Paderborn
Borussia Dortmund made light work of Paderborn at Signal Iduna Park, cruising to a 3-0 win built on a blistering start and a super-sub masterclass. The hosts never let their visitors settle, and the game's signature moment came late when substitute Felix Nmecha finished the rout with a stunning scissor-kick.
Fabio Silva opened the scoring inside five minutes, latching onto a through ball from Serhou Guirassy to slot past the keeper. Paderborn pushed for a way back but never managed a shot on target all afternoon. The game was settled in the final ten minutes as Nmecha, introduced off the bench, cut inside to score in the 80th minute before capping his night with that acrobatic finish in the 89th. No cards or penalties disrupted the contest.
The result extends Dortmund's winning run to three straight matches and underlines their early-season momentum, while Paderborn suffered a harsh reminder of the gap they face back in the top flight.
