Now the Irons lose even at home! With the 0: 3 against Dortmund, Union conceded only their second home defeat (previously 2: 5 against FC Bayern). With the second defeat in a row, the iron slipped out of the Champions League ranks.
Reus (18th/25th) and Guerreiro (71st) score for BVB. Unfortunately, the 10,000 spectators in the Alte Försterei bring no luck.
Captain Christopher Trimmel: “3:0 – that’s clear, but you can’t allow anything against such an opponent. We got the goals at the wrong moment.”
BVB match winner Reus: “We had a very, very restless week and had to show a reaction.”
Reus is difficult to hear in the TV interview because Union fans boo him. In addition, “Reus, you bum” shouts. A stupid, unsportsmanlike action by individual spectators. Even during the game, every action is acknowledged with whistles.
background: His swallow in April 2021 when BVB made it 2-0. Since then he’s been down with the Unionern. He counters the whistles in his own way: after the 2-0, he touches his right ear. Should probably mean: Tell me, who scored the goal…?
Dortmund has it easy when it comes to goals. Before the 0: 1, the defensive is not poisonous enough, Reus shoots Andreas Luthe through the legs (18th). Before the 0: 2, Bastian Oczipka and Robin Knoche look old with a long Zagadou ball, Reus curves around Luthe and completes (25th).
At 0: 3, Paul Jaeckel can be danced out on the baseline of Bellingham. He plays into the penalty area, Luthe and Baumgartl hinder each other. Guerreiro tips the ball over the line (71′).
At Union, Sven Michel is in the starting XI for the first time, has one or the other good scene, but remains unlucky like his colleagues.
Union scores once, but referee Jöllenbeck takes back Möhwald’s header after a TV check because Anthony Ujah (season debut!) hits opponent Akanji with his elbow (73′).

Newcomer Andras Schäfer is also allowed to play for the first time at the end, but has no effect.
Bitter: Robin Knoche sees his 5th yellow card, misses Saturday in Bielefeld. That doesn’t make it any easier for Union in the fight for Europe.
