Borussia Dortmund secured their place in the Bundesliga title race after overcoming Mainz 3-1 on Sunday. The victory was a testament to the team's resilience, as they came back from two goals down against the visitors.

The game started brightly for Dortmund, but it was Mainz who took the lead through a well-taken goal by striker Max Kruse. However, the German giants responded quickly, with Jadon Sancho equalizing just before halftime.

After the break, Dortmund's attacking play really began to pay off. Christian Pulisic made a crucial contribution by setting up both Adeyemi and Erling Haaland in the second half. Adeyemi scored his first goal for the club, while Haaland added another to put the hosts ahead.

Brandt's assist record also played a big part in the win. The midfielder set up Haaland for his third goal of the season, sealing the deal for Dortmund. The result means that Borussia Dortmund now have a comfortable gap at the top of the table, and will be looking to maintain their momentum going into the final weeks of the season.

Overall, it was a great performance from Dortmund, and one that showcased their ability to bounce back from adversity. With Haaland continuing to impress and Brandt playing at such a high level, there is no doubt that this side will continue to cause problems for opponents in the coming months.
