Borussia Dortmund struggled to beat Nuremberg 2-0.
Dortmund were made to work much harder against aggressive Nuremberg and had to wait until early in the second half to celebrate when Mario Goetze in the box cut back for Robert Lewandowski to thunder in for the lead.
Kevin Grosskreutz added another for the hosts 10 minutes from time with a deflected long-range effort.
Dortmund moved up to six points from three games, one behind Borussia Moenchengladbach, 4-1 winners against Wolfsburg on Friday.
