  Roman Weidenfeller

  Maybe a little flat-footed for Bremen's equalizer, but otherwise had a comfortable night and impressed with his calm distribution, also making saves at key times.

  Neven Subotic

  Saw a strong header well saved after the break and was solid in his passing as always.

  Mats Hummels

  A similar story to his center back partner. Looked especially comfortable bringing the ball out of the back, bringing his international form back to the domestic stage.

  Marcel Schmelzer

  Caught out twice early on, but recovered well and put in a solid enough performance. Decent free kick delivery, and plenty of supporting runs.

  Sebastian Kehl

  Held the fort in the center of the pitch to allow Dortmund's attacking talent to excel.

  Ilkay Gündogan

  A good performance as he tried to pull the strings from a deep-lying position, but was booked for a cynical foul to prevent a counterattack. Substituted.

  Jakub Blaszczykowski

  Full of running through the middle and was a constant threat. Somewhat fortunate to assist the first goal, but did well to create the winner, and was always looking to attack.

  Kevin Großkreutz

  Did a lot of running but very little else of note. His biggest contribution was being substituted for Mario Gotze after Bremen's equalizer.

  Oliver Kirch

  For the first hour almost everything the visitors created came down his side, and although he looked particularly worried by Eljero Elia, he managed to hold firm.

  Robert Lewandowski

  Grew into the match as it went on, providing a good outlet for his defenders with his aerial ability and strong running. Clever assist for Gotze's winner.

  Marco Reus Top of the Match

  A great performance from the new arrival. Got the hosts off to a flying start with his goal and had a hand is almost everything his side did going forward. A pivotal display.

  Mario Götze

  Showed that he will not give up his place to Reus easily by scoring the winner after coming off the bench. Cool finish in difficult circumstances.

  Sebastian Mielitz

  Good one-handed save to deny Subotic after the break. Could do little about either goal and was otherwise solid.

  Sebastian Prödl

  Wasted a gilt-edged opportunity when he glanced a header wide at 1-0. Was exposed by Reus early on and conceded a clumsy foul.

  Sokratis Papastathopoulos

  Bullied by the powerful display of Lewandowski. Comfortable on the ball in the early exchanges but never got a moment's peace.

  Theodor Gebre Selassie

  Equalized with a deft header, and one of the stars of Euro 2012 showed he has the potential to succeed in the Bundesliga.

  Kevin De Bruyne

  Aleksandar Ignjovski Flop of the Match

  Had an awful evening. At fault for the first goal and was booked soon afterwards, and could have actually been sent off. Substituted.

  Marko Arnautovic

  Caused BVB a number of problems with a variety of dangerous crosses, particularly in the second half. Set up the equalizer and rattled the post before the break.

  Could have leveled the scores at 2-2 after coming off the bench, but let Arnautovic's cross bounce off his hip and wide.
