Borussia Dortmund scored at the start and the end to see off Mainz 05 2-0 in the Bundesliga.
It was the perfect start for the hosts as Marco Reus won a free kick just outside the box and stepped up himself to put his side ahead in the first minute.
Neven Subotic prodded a Jakub Blaszczykowski corner goalwards, but could not direct his effort either side of the goalkeeper.
Robert Lewandowski found himself free in the centre of the box but his header from a Lukasz Piszczek cross was straight at Christian Wetklo.
Dortmund were peppering the Mainz goal and Marcel Schmelzer twice went close but they just could not find a second.
Lewandowski had another effort saved and Mats Hummels a close-range header blocked as Dortmund continued to press.
Eventually Dortmund did grab the second late on through Lewandoswki's strike.
