Borussia Dortmund triumphed over Mainz 05 with a brace from Borussia's star midfielder Andre Schurrle, as well as a vital assist by Bayern Munich's central defender Manuel Neuer.
The match was a high-pressure affair for both sides, with the two teams having played each other in recent years, with both sides having shown their mettle in previous encounters. However, on this occasion, it seemed that things would not go as planned.
Mainz started strongly, with Christian Benteke scoring first for the visitors, before Thomas Müller doubled their lead just five minutes later. The German striker scored his second goal just four minutes later to put Mainz ahead 2-0.
However, the tide turned in favour of Borussia Dortmund, with Borussia's star midfielder Andre Schurrle scoring the third goal of the match, which came after a header off the crossbar. This was followed by another goal from Schurrle, who had a shot saved at the near post but managed to get past the keeper to secure the win.
Schurrle's hat-trick was particularly impressive, as he had only been substituted once throughout the entire game. He has become a key figure for the club since joining them in 2018, and his performances have helped to cement his status as one of the best midfielders in the world.
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich's central defender Manuel Neuer also contributed to the team's success, with him providing crucial assists throughout the match. Neuer made several important saves, including a save that kept the score at 1-1 at half-time.
Overall, the match was a thrilling spectacle, with both teams showing great determination and fighting spirit. The result was a major boost for Borussia Dortmund, who now look set to challenge for the Bundesliga title next season.
