Berlin: Borussia Dortmund cruised to a 6-1 victory over hapless Cologne as four first-half goals paved the way for their 17th Bundesliga win at the 25th round, here.

The BVB dominated possession from the kick-off and opened the scoring with 15 minutes gone as Donyell Malen danced through Cologne’s defender before squaring into the path of Raphael Guerreiro, who beat Cologne goalkeeper Marvin Schwabe from a tight angle on Saturday night.

Elsewhere, Bochum secured their second straight win after stunning third placed Leipzig 1-0.

Andrej Kramaric’s double strike helped relegation-threatened Hoffenheim edge Hertha Berlin 3-1.

Wolfsburg edged Stuttgart 1-0 thanks to Omar Marmoush’s winner and Marius Bulter’s late 1-1 equalizer ensured Schalke a point at Augsburg.

Already on Friday, Borussia Monchengladbach played out a 2-2 stalemate with Werder Bremen. IANS
