Tooor for RB Leipzig, 0: 3 by Christopher Nkunku
Laimer and Nkunku succeed in everything today. At the penalty spot, the double scorer puts his sole back on Nkunku, who takes a left-footed shot from the edge of the penalty area. He hits placed in the lower right corner. At Leipzig, every shot is a hit.
57
19:47
BVB’s changeover has not yet paid off. The game is balanced now.
54
19:44
Yellow card for Kevin Kampl (RB Leipzig)
Kampl fouled in midfield together with Laimer Bellingham, who had turned around him with a good move. There’s a yellow card because Kampl had narrowly missed the card several times before.
53
19:43
Angeliño’s corner from the left is followed by Dani Olmo’s right shot from long range. The ball slips over his slippers and clearly misses the goal.
52
19:42
Gvardiol plays a long pass that Can narrowly misses. Angeliño goes into the penalty area on the right and should play in the middle. But he takes a few more steps to the baseline and then Can comes with a strong tackle that clears the situation.
50
19:40
The corner from the right almost finds Akanji’s head. Gulácsi clarifies at the last moment.
49
19:40
Hazard plays through to the baseline on the right and puts a cross into the six-yard box. Orban clears the corner.
47
19:37
Dortmund switched to a back four at the beginning of the second half. Van is now acting at right-back. This gives Hazard more offensive freedom.

Kick-off 2nd half

mid-term conclusion
BVB goes into the dressing room with a 0:2 deficit against RB Leipzig. Dortmund started brilliantly in front of a full house and put pressure on Leipzig early on. After a few minutes, Reus had a huge chance, which the BVB captain missed by placing it imprecisely on Haaland. Leipzig acted cautiously. That paid off when Can lost the ball to Laimer in the build-up game, who converted himself to make it 1-0. Even after the goal, Dortmund was the better team. But RB was just incredibly effective. A deflected shot made it 2-0. After that, the black and yellow were a little unsure. The home side didn’t have any more serious chances to score. Overall, BVB does not have to hide. Leipzig was freezing. Despite being behind, Dortmund was the better team overall.

Official injury time (minutes): 2

19:17
Yellow card for Thorgan Hazard (Borussia Dortmund)
Hazard is rightly given a yellow card for a tactical foul that prevents a counterattack. Dortmund’s anger about this is understandable, because Fritz has turned a blind eye to RB several times.
44
19:16
After a short corner, Angeliño brings a cross onto the back post from the right. There Mukiele pulls off with a side puller. His beautiful attempt is too lax and unplaced. Kobel holds onto the ball.
42
19:15
Dortmund’s game has been ineffective possession for the last 10 minutes. The three central defenders probably have the most contacts. BVB is far away from a goal threat.
40
19:12
After the Haaland scene in the penalty area, Guerreiro shoots from a distance. His shot flies a good meter over the goal.
39
19:12
Haaland plays a pass into the back area on the left in the penalty area and jumps off directly to avoid a sliding tackle from Gvardiol. Of course, the fans immediately demanded penalties, but that was nothing at all.
39
19:11
The start-up behavior of Borussia has also changed since the 2-0. The black and yellow no longer run as consistently in the collective as at the beginning of the game. This makes the build-up game easier for RB.
36
19:08
Dortmund seems a little impressed by the 2-0. Now the home side’s game is a bit lacking in ease.
33
19:05
The result does not currently match the course of the game. Leipzig’s goals came from a serious mistake in Dortmund’s structure and a deflected shot. BVB shouldn’t let that drive them crazy. The black and yellow are doing a good game so far.
30
19:02
Tooor for RB Leipzig, 0: 2 by Konrad Laimer
Konni Laimer makes the difference! The Austrian plays a good opening pass to the right to Nkunku, who brings in a mid-ball cross. The ball is blocked and lands on the edge of the penalty area with Laimer, who shoots directly with the left. Can deflects the half-high shot into the middle of the goal, making it untenable for Kobel.
29
19:01
Witsel gets Angeliño’s foot in his face when he slides his own tackle. That wasn’t on purpose. Luckily, Witsel didn’t hurt himself too much.
27
19:00
Bellingham plays a strong, high pass into Haaland’s run, who goes into the penalty area and shoots from seven meters on the right. His shot is just deflected around the far post by Gulácsi. Then the flag goes up. It was probably razor-thin offside.
26
18:59
After the Dortmund free kick, RB goes on the counterattack. André Silva shoots from the edge of the penalty area with his right on goal. BVB blocks the ball and rectifies the situation.
25
18:58
Reus wants to play a one-two with Bellingham but is prevented from doing so by Simakan’s body. A clear foul. But Fritz continues to wait with the first yellow card.
24
18:56
Kampl steps on Witsel’s foot in midfield. The Belgian stays down. Kampl can be happy that he gets away without a yellow card.
23
18:55
The goal played into the cards for the Leipzigers. The match plan has worked out completely so far. RB is deep and waiting for counter opportunities. Of course, Emre Can’s invitation came in handy.
21
18:53
Tooor for RB Leipzig, 0: 1 by Konrad Laimer
The 1-0 goes to Emre Can’s cap. The Dortmunder loses the ball far too easily against Laimer in the build-up game. The Austrian plays in the middle on Nkunku and then starts into the penalty area. Nkunku puts Laimer back into the penalty area on the right. Free in front of the goal, the six lobs the ball ice-cold over Kobel. Strong action by Laimer.
20
18:52
Guerreiro shoots the free kick with his left on goal. The ball flies right into Gulácsi’s arms.
19
18:51
Reus plays a double one-two with Guerreiro and Haaland and then falls 25 meters to the left of Kampl’s goal. That’s a good free-kick position.
19
18:50
Leipzig is withdrawing for now. The guests are waiting for a counterattack.
17
18:49
Haaland starts in a counterattack. Bellingham sees it but plays an inaccurate pass into Simakan’s foot. With a good long ball there would have been a good chance.
15
18:48
Jude Bellingham is put under pressure in his own penalty area and resolves the situation with the calm of a world-class player. Then a “Jew” whispers through the stadium.
14
18:47
Hazard plays a well-considered pass into the middle from the right. At the edge of the penalty area, Guerreiro pulls from the right. His shot is blocked. But he gets a second chance. Again his degree is blocked.
13
18:46
Wolf brings a harmless cross into the middle from the right. But Simakan completely misjudged. The ball slips through to Haaland, who takes a left-hand shot in the penalty area. His conclusion goes a meter past the right post.
12
18:44
Hummels plays a good pass to the right to Hazard. Off the ball, Angeliño gets Wolf’s arm in the face. As a result, the chance is gone because there is a free kick for Leipzig.
10
18:42
BVB is better in the game in the first few minutes. The black and yellow don’t let the people of Leipzig rest.
7
18:40
After a long ball from Hummels, Reus is free in the penalty area on the left. Instead of completing himself, the captain puts the ball to the right on Haaland. The pass comes out of reach for the Norwegian behind him. Reus should have shot himself.
5
18:38
André Silva is free after a long ball from the defense. It looked very offside, but the flag stays down for now. Akanji sprints between them, so that Silva’s graduation ends up in Kobel’s arms. Then the linesman raises the flag.
4
18:36
The game is extremely intense in the first few minutes. Both teams start very energetically. As a result, there is no flow of the game.
3
18:35
Dortmund’s defense initially looks like a three-man chain with Can, Hummels and Akanji. Guerreiro plays on the left flank. Hazard takes over this task on the right.
1
18:33
The scenery in the sold-out Westfalenstadion is outstanding. The Dortmund fans first bathed the air in clouds of yellow smoke.
17:51
At Leipzig, Domenico Tedesco is forced to make a change in contrast to the 0-0 draw against Frankfurt. Benjamin Henrichs is out today with gastrointestinal problems. He is represented on the right flank by Nordi Mukiele. Otherwise, the coach sends the same team on the pitch as two weeks ago.
17:49
Marco Rose exchanged two players for Dortmund, in contrast to the 1-1 draw with Cologne before the international break. Marco Reus is back from illness and replaces Gio Reyna in attacking midfield. In addition, Mats Hummels is back in the starting XI. Felix Passlack rotates out of the team for him. Passlack’s right-back position is taken over by Emre Can.
17:43
In Leipzig you can pat yourself on the back. The commitment of Domenico Tedesco turns out to be a complete success. In the past four months, the young coach has led the Saxons from the conservative mid-table to a place in the Champions League. Only two games were lost under his leadership. One of them was against FC Bayern. This defeat almost two months ago is the last one to date. A big step towards the premier class could be taken today. Freiburg and Hoffenheim both lost.
17:41
BVB’s season doesn’t really have much excitement to offer anymore. The fight for the championship depends solely on FC Bayern’s consistency, Dortmund has already been eliminated from the cup and the Europa League and the lead over third-placed is large enough. The black and yellow are without a doubt playing a good Bundesliga season. But in order to challenge Bayern, who play out of competition, for the championship, it would take an outstanding season. In the last four games there were draws against Augsburg and Mainz. So even a struggling table leader could not be dealt with.
Hello and welcome to the evening game of the 28th match day of the Bundesliga. Today at 6:30 p.m. Borussia Dortmund welcomes RB Leipzig in the top game.
