Just nine days after being sacked as the manager of FC Köln, Peter Stöger got his reign in charge of Borussia Dortmund off to the perfect start with a 0-2 win against FSV Mainz 05.
The hosts would have had some hopes of snatching something against Dortmund, with their most recent home win of the season coming against Stöger's struggling Köln side. However, die Schwarzgelben snatched all three points and put an end to their two-month winless run in the Bundesliga.
Suat Serdar came close to putting a damper on Stöger's maiden game in charge of Dortmund with an outstanding long-range effort that crashed off Roman Bürki's crossbar.
