Borussia Dortmund secured their place at the top of the Bundesliga table on Saturday evening, thanks to a narrow victory over SC Freiburg.

The match was played at Signal Iduna Park and saw Borussia Dortmund take the lead early on through a goal from Timo Werner. However, SC Freiburg fought back and were level before half-time.

Meanwhile, SC Freiburg dropped down to fourth in the standings following their defeat. The defeat was their fifth loss in their last six matches, and they will be hoping to turn things around soon.

Overall, it was a closely contested game that ended in a narrow victory for Borussia Dortmund. They continue to be one of the form teams in the Bundesliga and will be looking to maintain their position at the top of the table as they look towards the rest of the season.
