Shortly after the break, the BVB fans celebrated the supposed preliminary decision. A header goal by Guirassy did not count because the 29-year-old was previously offside.
The game now became more hectic. Referee Jablonski showed yellow cards and was repeatedly involved in discussions by the players. Adeyemi became very upset after his substitution and had to be calmed down by BVB sports director Sebastian Kehl.
The Gladbachers struggled on the pitch, but continued to make the wrong decisions too often in the opponent’s half. BVB failed to calm the nerves of their own fans with another goal. Wael Mohya, who had just been substituted, narrowly missed the equalizer out of nowhere. The 16-year-old failed because of Kobel. Dortmund were able to decide the game in stoppage time.
