Half-Time Report: Borussia Dortmund on course for first points of Bundesliga season

First-half goals from Marco Reus and Sokratis Papastathopoulos have given Borussia Dortmund a 2-0 half-time lead over Augsburg this evening.

The 2013 Champions League finalists are on course for their first points of the new season, having lost 2-0 to Bayer Leveruksen in their opening game.

Reus has fully recovered from the injury that forced him to miss Germany's World Cup triumph this summer and took just 12 minutes to break the deadlock, tucking Kevin Grosskreutz's square pass into the bottom corner.

Dortmund's lead was doubled only two minutes later when Sokratis, who has been linked with a move to Arsenal in recent weeks, climbed high to head home a Reus cross following a corner.

The towering Greek defender was a constant threat from set pieces and twice went close in an opening 45 minutes in which Marvin Hitz saved well from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
