### Adeyemi's Goal Helps Borussia Dortmund Beat SC Freiburg 2-1 and Stay Top Three
In a thrilling encounter at the Allianz Arena in Düsseldorf, Borussia Dortmund secured their third consecutive victory over SC Freiburg with a commanding 2-1 win on Saturday evening. The decisive moment came when forward Adeniyi Adeyemi scored from close range with just minutes left to play, lifting the visitors to the top spot in the Bundesliga standings.
The match started off as a closely contested affair, with both teams displaying equal levels of intensity. However, it was Dortmund who found the breakthrough early on. In the 18th minute, midfielder Kai Havertz delivered a low cross into the box, where Adeyemi met it with a powerful header that deflected off the post and rolled into the net for his second goal of the season.
Despite the early lead, Freiburg refused to go down without a fight. They fought back strongly in the second half, with striker Robin van Persie scoring twice in the final 45 minutes. First, he scored from a corner after being set up by a corner kick, then he converted a penalty kick following a foul in the box.
However, the comeback attempt proved futile as Dortmund held firm, thanks to their solid defense and effective counter-attacks. The win not only gave them three points but also kept them firmly in pole position in the league table, one point ahead of Bayern Munich and two points behind RB Leipzig.
This result was particularly significant for Dortmund, who had been struggling with injuries and form throughout the season. With the win, they have now won seven out of their last eight matches, including a recent 4-1 home victory over Stuttgart.
The performance of Adeyemi was instrumental in securing this victory. His ability to find space in front of goal and convert chances has become increasingly crucial for Dortmund, especially in high-pressure situations like this. The forward’s presence on the pitch was vital, as he provided the spark needed to ignite Dortmund’s attack and keep the pressure on Freiburg.
Moving forward, Dortmund will look to maintain their momentum and continue their climb up the table. The team’s next game is against Werder Bremen on October 7, which will be another opportunity to test their form and prove their worth in the Bundesliga. With Adeyemi continuing to impress, there is every reason to believe that Dortmund can continue to challenge for the title.
