Borussia Dortmund secured a narrow 1-0 win over Wolfsburg at Signal Iduna Park, extending their unbeaten Bundesliga run to 12 games. Karim Adeyemi's thunderbolt strike proved to be the difference-maker, handing Wolfsburg their first defeat of the season.

The match was intense from the start, with both teams creating scoring opportunities. Mohamed Amoura had a promising chance but failed to capitalize, striking the ball well over the target from a decent position. The early exchanges set the tone for a closely contested match.

Dortmund wasted no time in taking the lead, with Karim Adeyemi striking a powerful shot from distance to put his team ahead. This impressive strike marked Adeyemi's fourth direct goal contribution in his last three matches, showcasing his growing form.

Julian Ryerson continued to provide quality service, delivering a great cross into the box that Maximilian Beier couldn't quite capitalize on, heading just past the post. Beier had another promising opportunity before halftime, but his shot was parried away by Wolfsburg goalkeeper Kamil Grabara.

Despite Dortmund's growing dominance, Wolfsburg came agonizingly close to equalizing just before the hour mark. A free-kick headed towards Mohamed Amoura, and his poke towards goal hit the underside of the crossbar, but the ball failed to fully cross the line, denying Wolfsburg a crucial goal.

Wolfsburg brought on Christian Eriksen for his debut in an attempt to change the game's momentum. However, Dortmund continued to press for a second goal in the latter stages of the match. Wolfsburg goalkeeper Kamil Grabara made a crucial save, tipping Felix Nmecha's close-range header over the bar from a corner kick.

A single goal was enough for Niko Kovac's side to secure their sixth consecutive home win. This victory keeps Dortmund in close contention with Bayern Munich at the top of the Bundesliga standings, highlighting the competitive nature of the league at this early stage.

Wolfsburg still can't seem to catch a break against Borussia Dortmund, especially on the road. They're yet to secure a league win away from home against Dortmund since 2012. Their recent match was a tough one, with Wolfsburg managing only one shot on target. Despite the loss, there's a silver lining - it marked Paul Simonis' first defeat in charge, so perhaps this setback can spark some positive changes for the team moving forward.
