Borussia Dortmund 1 0 Werder Bremen
Bremen had kept clean sheets in their opening two Bundesliga games, and they looked to continue in such fashion until Robert Lewandowski broke the deadlock in the second half at the Signal Iduna Park. Kevin Grosskreutz’s short pass was collected by Reus in the box and he squared the ball along the six-yard box where Lewandowski was on hand to tap home.
