The home team was completely overwhelmed on the pitch.
But Dortmund failed to score again.
It wasn’t until after the 30-minute mark that the Bumblebees launched another fierce assault.
Just two minutes later, Schmelzer pushed forward on the left flank, combining with Grosskreutz to orchestrate an attack.
From outside the right corner of the box, Grosskreutz delivered a diagonal pass.
Inside the box, surrounded by players, Wang Shuo controlled the ball with the outside of his right foot, then suddenly spun and lashed a shot with his left.
The ball shot into the bottom-left corner of St. Pauli’s goal with incredible speed.
2-0!
This goal reignited Dortmund’s fighting spirit.
Just seven minutes later, an attack developed on the right. After Götze and Kuba linked up, Kuba chipped a pass to the far post. Grosskreutz, making a run into the left side of the penalty area, headed the ball into the net.
3-0!
And just two minutes later, under intense pressure from Dortmund, St. Pauli made another mistake.
The center-back, Morena, tried to head the ball back to his goalkeeper, Kessler, who was outside the penalty area.
But it wasn’t a ground pass; he sent it high in the air.
This put Kessler in an impossible position.
Worse, Wang Shuo, who was constantly running up front, sensed the opportunity and sprinted toward the ball at top speed.
After goalkeeper Kessler controlled the ball, Wang Shuo poked it away toward the left side of the box.
After winning the ball, Wang Shuo immediately dashed to the left side of the box. He reached the ball near the goal line, stopping it just before it went out of play. He then quickly spun away from the pursuing center-back, Sorante, and sent a cross to the far post with his right foot.
Kuba followed up quickly, tapping the ball into the goal.
4-0!
Then, just before halftime, Grosskreutz completed a tackle in the opponent’s half.
After winning the ball, Grandcross quickly passed it to Götze.
Götze sent a through ball into the left side of the box.
Wang Shuo made a diagonal run from the top of the arc into the left side of the box. Reaching the ball, he hit a first-time shot, once again sending it into the net.
5-0!
"Another hat-trick!!!"
"We’re only six rounds into the season, and Wang Shuo already has two hat-tricks and one four-goal haul!"
"He’s absolutely running rampant!"
The Dortmund players all celebrated in a group hug.
Even as they walked off the pitch at halftime, they had their arms slung over each other’s shoulders.
Every single one of them looked exceptionally fired up.
No one had expected Wang Shuo to be in such incredible form!
Of course, more importantly, St. Pauli was clearly no match for Dortmund in terms of skill.
After play resumed for the second half, Dortmund launched another wave of attacks.
In the 52nd minute, Wang Shuo dropped back to link up play, then passed the ball to Kuba.
Kuba sent a diagonal pass, and Götze broke into the right side of the box before unleashing a shot that once again breached St. Pauli’s goal.
6-0!
Just two minutes later, after an interception near the halfway line, Wang Shuo went on a run. He dribbled past three defenders before sending a diagonal pass to the feet of Grosskreutz.
The latter controlled the ball, cut inside, broke into the left of the penalty area, and fired off a powerful shot, scoring yet again.
7-0!
At this point, the match was completely decided.
In the 55th minute, Klopp substituted Lewandowski on for Wang Shuo.
In the 74th minute, Lewandowski provided a brilliant pass, and Götze scored.
8-0!
Just four minutes later, from a set piece in the attacking half, Shahin delivered a clever pass, and Subotic scored with a header.
9-0!
...
When the matches for Matchday 6 of the Bundesliga were over, the entire German football scene erupted.
Dortmund’s 9-0 thrashing of St. Pauli secured their sixth consecutive win to start the season, cementing their position at the top of the table.
Tuchel’s Mainz also had a six-game winning streak.
This team, arguably the one with the smallest budget in the Bundesliga, had also managed six straight wins.
And it was a high-quality winning streak at that.
Mainz’s opponents had included Stuttgart, VfL Wolfsburg, and Werder Bremen.
And in the most recent matchday, Bayern Munich.
Bayern had also been plagued by injuries this season.
First, Robben suffered a torn muscle before the season, ruling him out for all of 2010.
On Matchday 5, during Bayern’s away game against Hoffenheim, although they eventually won 2-1, Ribery sprained the lateral ligament in his ankle in the second half. He would be out for at least a month and a half.
Losing two core star players simultaneously had a huge impact on Bayern.
Tuchel’s team defeated Bayern 2-1 at the Allianz Arena.
Who would have thought that after six league matches, Dortmund and Mainz would be ranked first and second?
The Bumblebees, in particular, had been incredibly aggressive this season.
They had scored 29 goals in six matches.
And in the last three matches, the Bumblebees hadn’t conceded a single goal.
Wang Shuo was undoubtedly the most eye-catching player on the Dortmund squad.
His 15 league goals put him head and shoulders above everyone else, and he also had 6 assists.
He had personally orchestrated 21 goals!
How big was the gap?
The second-highest scoring team in the Bundesliga after the first six matchdays was Mainz, with only 14 goals—less than half of Dortmund’s total.
Dortmund and Mainz were two clubs with a deep connection.
Who could have imagined they would be occupying the top two spots on the league table at the same time?
Following them were Hannover 96, Hoffenheim, and Bayer Leverkusen.
Van Gaal’s Bayern Munich was currently in 9th place, a worrying situation.
And after Matchday 6 of the Bundesliga and the upcoming midweek second round of the Champions League group stage, Matchday 7 of the Bundesliga would feature the season’s first National Derby.
