Dortmund's Adeyemi scores twice in victory over Heidenheim

BERLIN: Borussia Dortmund's Karim Adeyemi scored twice and set up another goal as the Ruhr valley club earned a 4-2 victory over visitors Heidenheim on Friday, to make it two wins from three Bundesliga matches and go provisionally top of the table.

Adeyemi first set up Donyell Malen for the lead in the 12th minute before doubling it with his first goal after completing a textbook break five minutes later.

Heidenheim briefly cut the deficit with Marvin Pieringer's powerful header in the 39th but Dortmund restored their two-goal cushion before the break with Adeyemi's low drive two minutes later.

The visitors scored against the run of play with a 74th minute penalty by Maximilian Breunig. But Dortmund earned a spot kick themselves in stoppage time with Emre Can making it 4-2. - REUTERS
