Borussia Dortmund Secures Stoppage-Time Win Over Koln, Climbs to Third in Bundesliga

Borussia Dortmund secured a dramatic stoppage-time victory over Cologne, with Maxi Beier scoring the decisive goal late in the match after Cologne's goalkeeper, Marvin Schwäbe, made several outstanding saves to keep the score level for much of the game. Despite Cologne's strong defensive efforts and Schwäbe's heroics, Dortmund's persistence paid off, allowing them to maintain a third-place position in the Bundesliga standings. Meanwhile, Werder Bremen defeated Union Berlin 1-0 thanks to a stunning curling shot by Marco Grüll in the 72nd minute, a goal that propelled Bremen from 12th to seventh place in the league. This win marked Bremen's first consecutive home victories of the season and lifted them above Union Berlin in the standings. Both matches were part of the eighth round of Bundesliga fixtures, with upcoming games including Borussia Mönchengladbach vs. Bayern Munich and Dortmund vs. Cologne. Bremen and Union Berlin are set to face Mainz and Freiburg respectively in their next matches.
