Berlin: Bayer Leverkusen's Karim Bellarabi hit the Bundesliga's fastest ever goal to help condemn title hopefuls Borussia Dortmund to a 2-0 defeat in their opening game on Saturday. The Leverkusen attacker struck after just nine seconds and then set up Stefan Kiessling in injury time as the visitors won in Dortmund for the second season in a row.

Bellarabi's strike was two seconds quicker than the previous record held by Bayern Munich's Giovane Elber and Leverkusen's Ulf Kirsten, both of whom scored in the 11th second of a Bundesliga game. "My team did a lot right," Leverkusen manager Roger Schmidt said. "We attacked our opponents early. We played a great game and at the end of the day we deserved to win."
