Guirassy brace lifts Dortmund past Union
Serhou Guirassy scored twice to lead Borussia Dortmund to its first win of the Bundesliga season as it swept aside FC Union 3-0.
After conceding twice late on in its opening-day draw with St. Pauli, Dortmund turned on the style at Signal Iduna Park.
Dortmund thought it had taken the lead in the 32nd minute when Ramy Bensebaini rose highest to nod Yan Couto's inviting corner-kick beyond the grasp of Frederik Ronnow.
However, the goal was ruled out for a foul on the Union Berlin goalkeeper by Aaron Anselmino, but Niko Kovac's side went in front a minute before half-time.
Couto's teasing delivery from the right-hand side was swept into the top corner by Guirassy, who bustled his way past Leopold Querfeld before finding the target inside the box.
Dortmund doubled its lead two minutes before the hour through Guirassy after he played a neat one-two with Maximilian Beier before dinking the ball over the on-rushing Ronnow.
The victory was confirmed nine minutes from time, with substitute Felix Nmecha rifling a fierce effort into the bottom-right corner 10 minutes after his introduction to the action.
