**Borussia Dortmund 2-0 TSG Hoffenheim: Malen and Adeyemi Keep Clean Sheet**

In a thrilling encounter that showcased the prowess of two Bundesliga giants, Borussia Dortmund secured their much-needed clean sheet against TSG Hoffenheim in a match played on Sunday afternoon at the Allianz Arena.

The visitors to the venue were expected to be eager for a victory, having lost their last three matches. However, it was not to be as Dortmund managed to maintain their unbeaten streak with a dominant performance.

The game began with both teams displaying high energy and pace throughout the first half. The chances were few and far between, but neither team could break through the defensive wall set up by the other. The first half ended in a scoreless draw.

However, in the second half, things took a dramatic turn when Dortmund finally broke through the Hoffenheim defense. In the 57th minute, midfielder Thomas Müller found himself in space behind the Hoffenheim backline and delivered a perfectly placed cross into the box. The ball deflected off the defender and found its way to forward Marco Reus, who poked it past goalkeeper Manuel Neuer and into the net.

Dortmund's lead lasted only until the 68th minute when Hoffenheim came back with a counterattack. The ball was played across the pitch to winger Julian Brandt, who fed forward to forward Leon Goretzka. The latter played a perfect one-two pass to midfielder Kai Havertz, who finished with a powerful header from the edge of the penalty area to equalize the score.

Despite the equalizer, Dortmund remained confident and continued to press forward. In the 84th minute, substitute striker Robert Lewandowski made his debut for Dortmund and had a chance to put the game away. He shot wide from outside the box, but the shot was too close for Neuer to save.

In the final minutes, Hoffenheim tried to regain control of the game, but Dortmund's defense held firm, preventing any further goals from being scored. With the match coming to an end, Dortmund emerged victorious with a hard-fought 2-0 win over Hoffenheim.

This result leaves Dortmund with a record of 11 wins out of 13 matches this season, while Hoffenheim's winless streak extends to five games. The clean sheet maintained by Malen and Adeyemi is a testament to their solid performances and dedication to keeping the opposition at bay.

As Dortmund prepares for their next league match against RB Leipzig on Wednesday, they will look to continue their impressive run and secure more victories in the remaining rounds of the Bundesliga season. Meanwhile, Hoffenheim will need to find ways to improve their defensive solidity if they want to avoid a long losing streak.
