Bitter setback in front of full ranks: BVB loses

In front of 81 spectators in the Signal Iduna Park, which was sold out for the first time in over two years, coach Marco Rose's team had to lose in the top game of the Bundesliga on Saturday after goals from Konrad Laimer (365st/21th), Christopher Nkunku (30th) and Dani Olmo ( 57.) accept a bitter 86:1 (4:0). Donyell Malen's goal (2th) was far too little for the home team.

Although BVB remains in second place, they lost out Now nine points behind FC Bayern, they probably have the last minimal chance of winning the title. “We also know that it wasn’t good in the end. But you don’t have to act as if we were played against the wall 4-1,” said BVB defense chief Mats Hummels. In contrast, the Leipzig team continued their climb with ten competitive games without defeat and consolidated fourth place. “We did very well, it was well deserved,” praised coach Domenico Tedesco. Haaland is denied a goal The quick recovery of striker Erling Haaland, who was in the starting line-up just four days after his ankle injury suffered in the international match with Norway, should boost the game of Borussia, who have recently been weak in terms of finishes. Buoyed by the euphoric atmosphere, BVB got off to a better start and were close to taking the lead in the 7th minute. After a remarkable pass from Mats Hummels, Marco Reus appeared alone in front of RB keeper Peter Gulacsi, but made a bad pass instead of looking for the finish himself.

The fact that Haaland narrowly missed the goal just six minutes later after a mistake by Leipzig defender Mohamad Simakan was to take revenge only a short time later. The guests, who had been inconspicuous until then, took the lead with their first chance. BVB national player Emre Can lost the ball to Laimer during the build-up to the game and then left the Austrian criminally alone. The midfielder took advantage of this after a pass from Nkunku to score a surprising goal from close range.

It wasn't the only mishap for Can, who was deployed as a right-back. He deflected a shot from Laimer into his own net, unstoppable for BVB goalkeeper Gregor Kobel, giving Laimer his first Bundesliga brace in his 103rd game. “I have now rediscovered my finishing strength,” the Austrian later joked to the TV station Sky . Dortmund without reaction This early 0-2 deficit caused by Laimer's brace caused a lot of trouble for Dortmund. There was little of the momentum of the initial phase left until the break. There were hardly any attacks worth seeing against the now more stable RB defense. Even after the restart, BVB continued to appear unsettled. The slow build-up of the game caused little problems for the opponent and encouraged them to launch dangerous counterattacks. This tactic paid off once again. A nice pass from the outstanding Laimer made it 3-0 for Nkunku. This meant the game was decided in favor of Leipzig.

Dortmund's efforts to cosmeticize the results were occasionally accompanied by whistles from the stands. Malen's goal came far too late to turn things around, especially since Olmo scored the visitors' fourth goal a little later with a wonderful long-range shot.
