Justin Njinmah makes Bundesliga debut – as does Alex Meyer | OneFootball

In light of their 14 shots on goal compared to Borussia's four, it's fair to say Leipzig were deserving winners. Although the Black & Yellows improved in the second half, they still only had one chance of note (Modeste). Here are the match facts.

Bundesliga debut: Justin Njinmah made his first ever appearance in the Bundesliga. The 21-year-old has scored one goal so far this season with the U23s in the 3. Liga after netting five times last season.

Firsts: Niklas Süle made his first start for Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga. He had already started matches in DFB-Pokal and the Champions League. Alexander also made his Bundesliga debut for the club following his Champions League debut during the week.

The goalscoring run ends: The loss in Leipzig brought a run of 40 games in which BVB had scored at least one goal to an end. The last time this happened was 19 October 2021 (a 4-0 defeat away to Ajax).

First away defeat: The Black & Yellows fell to their second defeat of the season, and the first one away from home.

First set-piece goal conceded: The opening goal was the first BVB have conceded from a dead-ball situation this season.
