Pulisic and Ramos on target as Dortmund wrap up Bundesliga preparations

Borussia Dortmund concluded preparations for the start of the Bundesliga with a comfortable 3-0 friendly win over Hallescher on Tuesday.

First-half goals from Christian Pulisic and Adrian Ramos gave Thomas Tuchel's side the win as they prepared for the start of the Bundesliga this weekend in optimum fashion.

The Bundesliga side eventually took the lead with 23 minutes played, with Pulisic slotting coolly beneath Bredlow from 12 yards after Mor's superb no-look throughball split the home defence.

But Dortmund's second goal on the stroke of half-time came courtesy of a gift from the home side. A needless push in the back of Mikel Merino saw the referee point to the spot, allowing Ramos to sweep the ball into the goalkeeper's bottom-left corner.

Tuchel made a raft of changes just after the hour mark, as he looked to rest some senior players ahead of Saturday's Bundesliga opener against Mainz at Signal Iduna Park.
