  • Borussia Dortmund beat Paderborn 3-0

  • Freiburg lead on goal difference after 5-0 win

Felix Nmecha scored twice and Fábio Silva grabbed another as Borussia Dortmund won 3-0 at home to promoted Paderborn to continue their perfect start in the Bundesliga. Dortmund’s win made it three from three in the league this campaign, their best start in 11 seasons, dating back to Thomas Tuchel’s time.

Starting up front alongside Serhou Guirassy for the first time this season, Silva converted a clever pass from the Guinean to give the hosts the lead after five minutes. Guirassy had two goals disallowed for offside in the first half but Dortmund were rarely troubled by the toothless visitors, who are yet to score since returning to the top flight.

Kupcho putts help U.S. even Solheim Cup entering final day

DEN BOSCH, Netherlands -- U.S. golfer Jennifer Kupcho had already been shushing Europe fans at the Solheim Cup on Saturday when she rolled in two late birdie putts -- one, outrageously, from 90 feet -- to leave pretty much everyone speechless. With her two sucker punches on Nos. 17 and 18, Kupcho earned the Americans an unlikely point from the last match on the Bernardus Golf course to tie the score at 8-8 after four sessions. Over to the Sunday singles to determine the destination of the...
