Little-known Dortmund fight back and lead

Little-known Borussia Dortmund became the provisional leader of the Bundesliga, one point ahead of Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen, thanks to their hard-fought victory in their visit to Hoffenheim (1-3).

SA Edin Terzic He wanted to dominate the game with an offensive game, but today his team never had control, they only defended in the second half and knew how to fight even with the lower number before getting the victory in stoppage time and host Milan in the Champions League on Wednesday.

The first part is a bunch of nonsense with both teams competing with defensive errors both in ball release and clearance. The result was a total mess and absolutely, a continuous round-trip match in which Hoffenheim is more comfortable.

From mistake to mistake

However, Dortmund took the lead at half-time. After the first time already Doynell Malen that failed the purpose Oliver Baumann (14′), a serious mistake in the control of the chest of John Brooks when receiving a throw-in thrown by Ihlas Bebou, Julian Brandt he stole the ball from the American center back and Niclas Füllkrug, alone, beat Baumann no opposition (18′). It was the first goal for the big German striker since his arrival at Borussia last summer.

But it didn’t take long for Hoffenheim to restore parity on the scoreboard with another defensive gift, this time from Mats Hummels with a poor clearance. Anton Stach He blocks it and rushes to the spot, only to be knocked down by Hummels as he tries to fix it. Andrej Kramaric converted the penalty (1-1, 25′).

Reus takes advantage of another gift

The goal gave confidence to Hoffenheim, who went further into the match although another rearguard error doomed them in first-half stoppage time. A wary Dortmund found themselves at 1-2 on Malen He fought for a ball. crossed from the baseline, Baumann left the clearance at the foot of Marco Reus, who did not forgive.

The second half was one of absolute dominance by Hoffenheim against a Dortmund forced back. The score 2-2 was pronounced in the stands on two clear occasions once the match resumed. First with a headbutt from Grischa Promel, just in front of the goal, which is centered and falls on the body of Gregor Kobel (48′).

Missing the crossbar and Dortmund, with ten

Then Robert Skov collapsed a free kick hits the crossbar (fifty’).

Dortmund’s game is complicated by being left with ten players when the full-back Remy Bensebaini sees a second yellow for moving the ball when it leaves the field of play (70′).

Hoffenheim insisted time and time again but could not find success in their attacks to earn the draw they deserved. On the other hand, in the last minutes Dortmund managed to leave their field with dangerous counterattacks.

Ryerson is leading against

In one of them Karim Adeyemi He managed to score after going between two defenders, but Baumann put his shot away with his fingers. And it’s on discount, on the side Julian Ryerson He made a steal on his field and, after covering the entire field, he stood alone in the area to make it 1-3.
