This victory has a stale aftertaste…
BVB decides the first league hit of the season, wins 1-0 against Leverkusen in their own living room!
But not everything is going smoothly.
Shortly before the end of the game, the stadium announcer made several announcements. All visitors must remain in the stadium after the final whistle for the time being. A police operation outside the stadium is the reason for this.
The reason: In front of the stadium, a car with the engine running was found by a hundred people.
The police tweeted: “Important information for visitors to the Bundesliga match at Signal Iduna Park. A suspicious vehicle with a running engine was found in the E3 parking area. Since it cannot be ruled out that this vehicle could pose a danger, all stadium visitors are asked not to leave the stadium after the game has ended. Please stay in your seats and keep quiet. We are currently taking our first measures to eliminate the dangerous situation. So that the police measures can be carried out undisturbed, we ask everyone to avoid the area around the stadium. We will inform you when the dangerous situation has been resolved.”
BVB announced: “Due to a police operation outside the stadium, we ask ALL fans to stay in the stadium. As soon as it is possible to leave the stadium, we will inform you directly.”
Then at 8:48 p.m. the salvation: “We would like to inform you that you can now leave the stadium in an orderly manner.”
Sporty – 7th minute: Leverkusen defender Hincapie tackles Dortmund’s Adeyemi! Hit him in the left ankle. The Salzburg newcomer (came for 30 million) then continues to play. Referee Brych does not give a foul.
But then the shock!
16. Minute: Adeyemi, who had already started the game ailing, is sitting on the grass in a crippled state and has taken off his left shoe. Shortly thereafter, he is treated on the sidelines and then tries again on the pitch. But it doesn’t work! Adeyemi out, Hazard in (23′).
Dortmund are running out of clippers…
Karim Adeyemi is treated on the pitch by two BVB supervisors on the left foot
Attacker Sébastien Haller (28), who came from Ajax Amsterdam in the summer for 31 million euros, has been out for several months after being diagnosed with a testicular tumor in July. This waiver alone forced coach Edin Terzic (39) to change tactics. Now the next striker is gone…
And it hits another newcomer!
Currently the hottest candidate to plug the storm hole: Edinson Cavani (35)! BILD knows: BVB is interested. Before the game on “Sky”, Terzic was asked about the Uruguayan (currently without a club, most recently Manchester United): “I don’t think you need to waste a lot of words about Edinson Cavani when you talk about his quality. This is an outstanding striker. It is important that we find the right solution that suits us.”
BVB sports director Sebastian Kehl (42) after the game: “We are on the right track. There will be more clarity in the next few days. Something will probably happen.”
Which: In search of an adequate Sturm replacement for Haller, Borussia Dortmund fans started a crowdfunding campaign to get none other than Cristiano Ronaldo (37/Manchester United)! According to the fan assessment, 40 million euros would be enough to make the dream come true. So far, 11,100 euros have been raised…
Football is also played!
The decisive goal falls before the Adeyemi substitution.
9. Minute: Leverkusen’s Tah loses the ball 30 meters from goal in the fray. Then Moukoko comes to the ball halfway left in the sixteen, turns skillfully and plays across to Adeyemi, who pulls flat. Hradecky is able to parry the shot on the goal line, Hincapi tries to save somehow – Reus dusts off! 1:0
A cudgelmuddel goal!
The Leverkusen act after the cup debacle against third division Elversberg (3: 4 bankruptcy) much more combative. But in front the Torgi is missing again. Gerardo Seoane’s (43) team needs to become more efficient. Schick has equalized several times (20th, 42nd, 63rd, 68th), BVB keeper Kobel is strong. Very bitter for the guests: Leverkusen midfielder Andrich had to be substituted early on due to a muscular problem (13′).
