Dortmund's dominance was sealed by Felix Nmecha, who struck twice in the closing stages to secure a comfortable victory in their third consecutive league match without defeat. The midfielder's brace underscored his side's superior control throughout the encounter against the promoted outfit.
The win leaves Dortmund level on points with Freiburg at the top of the Bundesliga table following the opening rounds of the 2024-25 season. Both clubs have collected nine points from their initial three fixtures.
Paderborn, competing in the top flight after securing promotion, were unable to contain Dortmund's attacking impetus and offered little resistance in the second half. The scoreline reflected the gulf in quality between the established powerhouse and the newly elevated side.
Dortmund will look to build on this commanding performance when they face their next league challenge, as the club aims to maintain its early season momentum in the title race.
