ALMOST FOR FREIBURG!
High pressing from the away side sees Delaney lose possession in his own penalty area and Grifo is on hand to quickly shoot at goal, but Hitz can safely handle this one with the effort straight down his throat.

REYNA OFF TO STANDING OVATION
Superb from the American today, who has become the first 17-year-old to bag three assists in a single Bundesliga game since data collection began in 1992.

HAALAND CLOSE AGAIN!
Brandt plays Haaland behind the Freiburg defence and he smashes another fierce strike at goal. This one whips past the post with Müller diving across goal to make sure it stays out. He's in the mood for goals today.

HAALAND MAKES IT THREE!
Gio Reyna has a hat-trick of assists and Erling Haaland has a brace. Delightful from the youngsters as Reyna latches onto a loose pass in the Freiburg midfield and flies forward. A simple pass forward for Haaland, and an unstoppable strike from the Dortmund No.9 past Müller make it 3-0.

GREAT CHANCE FOR REUS
Superb from Bellingham as he collects Guerreiro's pass on the left side of the box. He dribbles right and left before chipping the ball to the middle to meet Reus' run, but the BVB captain can't keep his header on target.
61'
HÖFLER FIRES WIDE
The Freiburg midfielder takes aim from range and miscues his shot, sending it well wide of Hitz and the Dortmund goal.

BETTER FROM FREIBURG
The substitutes immediately bring a change for Freiburg in attack with Grifo and Jeong looking to combine. Still no genuine chances on goal to force Hitz into action, but plenty of time to change that if they can.

FOUR CHANGES!
Streich making big changes as Jeong, Kwon, Grifo and Schlotterbeck all come on in place of Höler, Petersen, Sallai and Gulde.

HUGE CHANCE FOR WITSEL
Almost a hat-trick of assists for Reyna as he's played into the Freiburg box and cuts the ball back across goal just before reaching the byline. Dortmund players are queuing up and Witsel is first in line, but the Belgian fires his shot high over the Freiburg crossbar from 10 yards out.

CAN MAKES IT TWO!
Reyna whips in a perfect corner and it floats towards the back post where Can is waiting, with Schmid letting his marker go free, and the Germany international powers a header over Müller and into the back of the net. Superb way to start the second half for BVB!

HEADING FOR THE BREAK
Dortmund in full control of this one still, keeping possession patiently in the Freiburg half. Reyna and Reus have been the problems for the visitors so far, with Bellingham and Witsel dictating the midfield as well.

MORE CHANCES!
Meunier is given the ball on the edge of the Freiburg box and he shoots low at goal. Müller saves, but the rebound falls to Hummels in front of goal and he gets a shot away, but Müller is up quickly to parry the second attempt wide of goal. Dortmund all over Freiburg here!
36'
ALMOST TWO FOR HAALAND!
The home side purring now as Reus plays the ball to Guerreiro in the box and his delightful flick sends it the way of Haaland, who shoots low across time with his first touch. Müller dives across but can't reach it, but safely watches at it trickles past the post.
34'
REYNA SO CLOSE!
Pure class from Reyna who collects the ball 25 yards from goal. He turns inside past one defender onto his left foot and skips past another with a burst of speed before clipping a shot back across goal, but watches it agonisingly dribble wide past Müller's goal. The American one fire so far.
34'
DORTMUND STAYING ON TOP
BVB able to have a host of numbers forward on the ball and they continue to win possession back from Freiburg high up the pitch.
31'
HAALAND FIRES HOME!
The first real bit of space is afforded to a Dortmund player when running at the Freiburg goal after Reus wins possession back from Höfler. Reyna picks it up and plays Haaland into the penalty area for a chance on goal. He goes low across goal with his shot, beating Müller to squeeze the ball inside the far post. A tidy way for Dortmund to go ahead!

BELLINGHAM HAS A GO
A nice turn past Santamaria in midfield from Bellingham gives him space to shoot at goal from 25 yards and he does. It's always rising over the crossbar, but the home fans happy to see the first attempt at goal from their side.

BETTER FROM FREIBURG
A good few minutes of possession for the away side while making BVB work off the ball.

STOUT DEFENDING
Freiburg's three-man backline has actually been a five-man defence for most of this game so far, with Dortmund on the ball. Freiburg not allowing their hosts time or space to work with the ball in midfield, keeping things compact.

REYNA EVERYWHERE!
The young American has made a bright start to this game. He's been picking up possession deep in midfield, out on the right and left wings and even in space between the Freiburg's midfield and defence. Favre will be wanting more of the same.

INCENTIVES FOR SOMETHING SPECIAL FROM FREIBURG
Freiburg currently have four points on the board, but have never had more than six after three matches. Striker Nils Petersen has had a direct hand in three of Freiburg’s four goals so far this season (scoring two, assisting one), but the former Germany international has not won a game over BVB since joining the Black Forrest club.

DORTMUND TEAM NEWS
The big story from Lucien Favre's line-up is that both first-choice goalkeeper Roman Bürki and Jadon Sancho are missing today due to illness. The pair have been suffering from chest infections since early this week and missed the Supercup defeat in Munich on Wednesday. In their place come Marwin Hitz and club captain Marco Reus, making his first start of the season for the club.
FREIBURG TEAM NEWS
Just one change from Christian Streich's line-up last week which claimed a point against Wolfsburg as Manuel Gulde comes in to form a three-man defence, replacing Vincenzo Grifo. Baptiste Santamaria was impressive on his debut last time out and starts once again here today in central midfield.
