Midfielders Marco Reus and Jonas Hofmann's late goals sealed Borussia Dortmund's 2-1 home win over Eintracht Braunschweig to leave the Uefa Champions League runners-up top of the Bundesliga on Sunday.
.
The 21-year-old Hofmann grabbed the limelight from Dortmund's record-signing Henrikh Mkhitaryan, who made his debut after costing €27.5m from Shakhtar Donetsk, when he broke the deadlock seven minutes after coming on.
.
Hofmann replaced Dortmund's other key signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, then took a crisp return pass from defender Mats Hummels to drill his shot in off the far post on 75 minutes.
.
Hofmann was then fouled in the area five minutes from time allowing Reus to drill home the penalty for Dortmund's second before Braunschweig pulled one back when Kevin Kratz's 89th-minute corner deflected in off Borussia's Poland striker Robert Lewandowski.
.
It was not the way Lewandowski, Dortmund's top- scorer last season with 24 goals in 31 league games, would have wanted to celebrate his 100th top-flight match, while coach Jurgen Klopp enjoyed his 100th German league win with Borussia.
.
After Aubameyang hit a hat-trick on his German league debut in last weekend's 4-0 rout of Augsburg, the three points leave Dortmund top of the table on goal difference with European champions Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen in joint second.
I trust Borussia Dortmund to go all the way this season cos they have the players that can achieve that. They're good like that!
