The match between Borussia Dortmund and Hertha BSC was a thrilling encounter that saw both teams struggle to find the back of the net in the early stages of play. However, the hosts proved to be too much for their opponents as they managed to score two goals in the opening half hour.

Borussia Dortmund started brightly with a goal scored by goalkeeper Marco Reus just four minutes into the game. The ball flew over the line from the edge of the box and it looked like the visitors would have another easy goal on the board. However, Hertha BSC's defender, Kasper Schmeichel, made a superb save to keep out the threat and prevent the home team from adding to their lead.

Just before halftime, Borussia Dortmund were awarded a penalty kick which they capitalized on with only five minutes remaining in the first half. A shot from the edge of the box hit the post but the referee deemed it a foul and awarded the spot-kick to the home side. The German striker, Timo Werner, stepped up and converted the penalty to give the home team a comfortable lead.

In the second half, Borussia Dortmund continued to dominate possession and create chances. They had a chance to extend their lead when Christian Pulisic headed past Schmeichel from close range but his header was saved off the bar. But then, Hertha BSC pulled one back with a powerful effort from their own goalmouth which was well placed and went through the hands of goalkeeper Schmid.

Despite the deficit, Borussia Dortmund fought back and eventually scored their third goal in the final ten minutes of the match. A corner kick was sent towards the back post and Werner curled a shot past Schmid from the edge of the area. It was a crucial moment for the home side who needed all their energy and tactics to pull off a comeback.

After the match, manager Ralf Rangnick praised his players for their hard work and determination. "We played very well throughout the entire match," he said. "It was really important to get those three goals because we wanted to win."

The victory gave Borussia Dortmund a valuable point and added to their already impressive start to the season. As they look forward to their next match against Eintracht Frankfurt, they will be looking to build upon this performance and continue their strong run of form.

Overall, this was a fantastic display of football and showed that Borussia Dortmund can compete at the highest level. Their ability to adapt to different formations and their attacking prowess is something that could prove to be a key factor in future matches.
