incidents
Match corresponding to day 20 of the Bundesliga played at the Weserstadion.
The scenario did not impress a Dortmund who entered the game with one gear more than their rivals. The first great opportunity for the visitors was in the boots of Guerreiro, who received the ball in the area after a great play by Brandt and tried his luck with a cross shot. Pavlenka was attentive and cleared the shot safely.
The Verdiblancos reacted to the occasion and were able to take the lead up to two times, but Kobel kept a clean sheet. The bad news for the visitors came half an hour into the game with Moukoko’s muscle injury, who had to be replaced by Haller. The light did not move and both teams went to the locker room without goals.
The second half started balanced, but Terzic brought on Reyna and Bynoe-Gittens and shook up the duel. Just a minute after entering the pitch, Bynoe-Gittens opened the goal after a great pass from Schlotterbeck. The local team sought an equalizer without success, as the black-and-yellow block remained solid and avoided the verdiblancas internees.
Dortmund sealed the game in the final minutes with a goal from Julian Brandt off Guerreiro’s pass. Victory of merit for the black-yellows, who continue to put pressure on Bayern and Union Berlin in the upper part of the Bundesliga.
