DORTMUND, Germany (Reuters) -Borussia Dortmund striker Serhou Guirassy scored once in each half to help steer the hosts to a 3-0 victory over Union Berlin on Sunday and notch their first Bundesliga win of the season.
The 29-year-old, who scored 34 goals in the domestic league and Champions League in the previous campaign, has now netted in his seventh consecutive Bundesliga match, with only two players in Dortmund history having achieved a longer streak.
Niko Kovac's team conceded two late goals in last week's season opener to draw 3-3 at St Pauli but there was not going to be a repeat of that with Dortmund fully in control throughout.
Guinea international Guirassy missed two golden chances early in the first half, including a one-on-one with goalkeeper Frederik Ronnow. But it was third time lucky in the 44th when Yan Couto found the striker with a superb pass.
He then bagged his third goal in two league matches in the 58th after a one-two with Maximilian Beier and smooth chip over the keeper in the 58th before substitute Felix Nmecha sealed the win in the 81st to take Dortmund onto four points.
