In a match that took place just four days after BVB’s 7-1 demolition of Celtic in the Champions Leaguꦿe for their biggest European win, their familiar domestic away woes returned in the German capital.
Union's Kevin Vogt ended a 10-year Bundesliga goal drought after conv💯erting a 26th-minute penalty.
Vogt's previous goal was scored on October 18, 2014, making it a record 275 Bundesliga matches between goals for an outfield player.
Dortmund show🦋ed none of the aggression they produced in the win over Celtic and before half-time they conceded another with Yorbe Vertessen's low strike from the edge of the box.
Julian Ryerson pulled a goal back for the vi🐻sitors just past the hour, but they could not find an equaliser despite applying some late pressure.
The loss meant Dortm🍰und dropped to seventh p🎃lace in the standings on 10 points, with Union now one place and one point above them.
Data Debrief: Away woes for BVB

Dortmund dominated the possession (67.1%) here but only conv⛄erted that control of the ball into eight shots, four of which were on target, resulting in a poor accumulated expected goals (xG) total of just 0.66.
One of the few BVB positive𝔉s was the performance of Julian Brandt, who created a game-high four chances and got the assist for Ryerson’s goal.
Midfielder Brandt🦩 has now created a goal in three straight gam💞es across all competitions and has four assists overall for Dortmund this season.
