With an extremely clinical display of balanced Football and good defending die Schwarzgelben defeated Karlsruher SC 1-0. As expected KSC put up a great fight and narrowly missed defeating Jürgen Klopp's side but Mohamed Zidan's goal twenty minutes into the match proved to be the deciding strike. The victory puts BVB in fourth place of the Bundesliga table, awaiting todays results.
The match was definitely not free of controversy as KSC had a Edmond Kapllani goal called back with a late offside call and a further goal oddly called back that looked to be cleared-out from behind the line. However BVB took the lead twenty minutes after the start when Hungarian international Tamás Hajnal swung in a pin-point cross in-close that Mohamed Zidan flicked past KSC 'keeper Markus Miller who otherwise played a perfect match. Following the break, with the loyal support of the Wildparkstadion behind then, KSC was clearly the aggressor but they couldn't breakthrough a great back line performance, most notably by Mats Hummels and Neven Subotić. Jakub Blaszczykowski's pace was a tactical weapon as always and as KSC through forward, his runs threatened to extend the lead and kept the home side honest. However in the end Roman Weidenfeller's work between the pipes in keeping his second consecutive clean sheet gave BVB the victory and three points.

BVB injury update
Die Schwarzgelben injury situation has taken a turn for the worse.
Team physician Dr. Markus Braun, confirmed that Mats Hummels will be out for four weeks with a torn ligament in his right ankle. The nineteen year-old German U-21 defender started the Vfl match but was replaced by Robert Kovac at the break after suffering the injury. Unfortunately BVB will additionally be without Alexander Frei for two weeks with a similar injury. Like Mats Hummels, the Swiss international started the Vfl match but was substituted with nineteen minutes remaining.
If their is a reason for optimism, it is that Jakub Blaszczykowski's surgery to repair a broken nose was successful. The tough-as-nails Polish international hasn't missed anytime and Jürgen Klopp is hopeful that he will be available for the weekends tilt against Hamburger SV. Given Kuba's past history is dealing with pain it will take quite an effort to keep him out of the lineup.
