Borussia Dortmund 2-1 St. Pauli: Player Ratings as Serhou Guirassy’s late strike earns full points for the hosts

Borussia Dortmund has won their fourth win of the Bundesliga campaign and entered into the top four with a 2-1 victory over St Pauli. The hosts preserved their perfect home record against the visitors as Sahin’s team survived a late comeback goal.

Dortmund had a dominating performance in the game but was not clinical enough to convert those into goals. It was in the 43rd minute when Bensebaini headed home a Pascal Gross chip to give the hosts a lead. St Pauli defender Eric Smith blasted a cracker from the edge of the box in the 78th minute to score the equaliser.

Despite a dominating performance it looked like the hosts are going to walk away with just a point but Guirassy scored the winner around the 83rd minute mark to help them secure full three points.
