Without Sabitzer
Wolfsburg vs. Dortmund LIVE from 17:30
Borussia Dortmund won the turbulent last match of the year in the German Bundesliga on Sunday with a 3:1 win at VfL Wolfsburg and now go into the three-week winter break in sixth place in the table, just two points behind a Champions League place.
In the event of a defeat, coach Nuri Sahin's team would have dropped to eleventh place. That would have been the worst Christmas result in ten years. However, goals from Donyell Malen (25'), Maximilian Beier (28') and Julian Brandt (30') within five minutes prevented that. The game threatened to turn in the second half after Denis Vavro made it 3-1 (58') and Pascal Groß was shown a red card (62'), but in the end Dortmund gained revenge for their cup exit against Ralph Hasenhüttl's club.
BVB were without Marcel Sabitzer through injury, while Wolfsburg substituted Patrick Wimmer in the 86th minute.
Bochum celebrate their first win of the season
VfL Bochum had previously secured their first win of the season, giving them renewed hope in the relegation battle. They defeated Heidenheim 2-0 in front of their own fans to close the gap to four points on Heidenheim, who are in 16th place and have lost their seventh league match in a row. Mathias Honsak was substituted for the losers in the 78th minute.
