Borussia Dortmund had to continue its European hangover as it once again showed its defensive problems and failed in Stuttgart, where it lost and had no chance (4-1).
Although there are those who still do not understand the departure of Matts Hummels, the Schlotterbeck-Süle duo remains unconvincing and has not given reason to continue to trust this season. It took ‘killer’ Undav five minutes to find the goal in an action that saw the former Bayern player picked out. And a minute later he almost scored the second, a harbinger of what was going to be a nightmare match which Demirovic confirmed with a header all alone in the area (21′).
Without Bynoe-Gittens on the pitch, the most outstanding player so far this season, the win had to be prevented by Kobel, who gave a good hand to Undav and held on in the first half, ending the English winger on the pitch after injury by Nmecha.
Nuri Sahin decided to make adjustments at half-time looking for a reaction. Couto and Bensebaini come in, but it’s no use. A mistake in the defense of a corner kick led to Millot’s free goal (62′) and, although Guirassy cut off a counterattack (75′), the Frenchman almost immediately put away the embarrassment of Bensebaini and Schlotterbeck on the line background in a play that ended with El Bilal Touré (80′). But there was still time to fall and in the umpteenth defensive error, Undav marked himself and crossed to save (90′).
