Tigges shocks his ex-club
A few days after the 2-0 win against Würzburg, VfL acted energetically and energetically against Dortmund, who played with a number of Bundesliga professionals, and could have received two penalties early on: Dan Axel Zagadou did not get his outstretched hand away in time when Lukas Kunze shot, but referee Lars Erbst did not punish the contact (7th). A little later, Marc Heider fell in the penalty area after a duel with Soumaila Coulibaly – again there was no penalty (17th).
Lower Saxony made the game, BVB the goal: After a cross from Felix Passlack, Steffen Tigges rose the highest – the native of Osnabrück nodded to 1-0 against his former club (35th).
One-two from Simakala
In the second half, VfL played happily forward and had a good chance to score through Aaron Opoku (52nd). But a blackout by Timo Beermann ruined the offensive efforts. His return pass landed right in the path of Youssoufa Moukoko, the Dortmund player rounded Philipp Kühn and pushed in to make it 2-0 (60′).
But the guests didn’t give up. Zagadou ran into Opoku’s heels, Simakala safely converted the undisputed penalty into a goal for VfL (73′). Simakala (89′) and Beermann (90′) missed the best opportunities in the final phase, but then Simakala scored an equalizer that was no longer thought possible: BVB keeper Stefan Drljaca unluckily faked a long ball that should have gone wide off, Simakala was there (90+2).
We’re glad we took something with us,” said VfL coach Daniel Scherning at the press conference. “In the end, we were rewarded for an immense effort. I’m happy to get a point against an extremely strong team.”
