Borussia Dortmund have scored three unanswered goals in the second half to beat Nuremberg 3-0 in the Bundesliga on Saturday afternoon.
The hosts started brightly and had a good chance inside five minutes. Henrikh Mkhitaryan was played through but the away goalkeeper was alert to rush off his line and smother the ball at the feet of the Armenian.
Striker Robert Lewandowski then had a chance from an indirect free kick inside the box after Schafer had picked up a back pass, but his powerful shot was blocked by the wall of bodies just in front of the line.
The goalkeeper then made another good stop as he managed to keep out Mkhitaryan, this time from a close-range shot by the midfielder.
Despite Dortmund's control of the game they very nearly found themselves behind. Sokratis Papastathopoulos passed straight to Josip Drmic, who then found Tomas Pekhart, but the striker's shot came back off the post.
The second half was a completely different story, however, and the hosts went in front just six minutes into it through Mats Hummels, who poked in a rebound after a Lewandowski header was saved.
Lewandowski then got in on the act himself. He was threaded through by Mkhitaryan and slid the ball beyond Schafer for 2-0.
The points were well and truly Dortmund's, but they managed to add a third inside the final 10 minutes and it was a deserved goal for Mkhitaryan as he finished neatly from inside the box for a resounding win.
