Gregor Kobel, the Swiss goalkeeper, was the author of an incredible error during the defeat of his team on the lawn of Union Berlin on Sunday (0-2).
Winner of only one of its last four Bundesliga games before moving to Union Berlin on Sunday afternoon, Borussia Dortmund hoped to be able to revive in the German capital against the surprising leader. Except that nothing went as planned. From the eighth minute, Janik Haberer took advantage ofa huge mistake by Gregor Kobel to open the scoring by scoring one of the easiest goals of his career (1-0), before scoring a brace a few moments later on a serve from former Rémois, Castelroussin and Rennais Jordan Siebatcheu (2-0 , 21st). And then the score didn’t move, leaving BVB in eighth place after ten league daysbut three lengths from Bayern Munich, runner-up to the Berliners.
And Kobel’s blunder obviously caused a lot of talk. On a back pass, the Swiss goalkeeper tried to clear but completely missed his gesture, which earned him to find himself on the ground before seeing Haberer push the ball into the void. “It’s always a tough team to play, in a stadium where it’s difficult to win. On the first goal, I slipped… It was really ugly to see, and it’s even worse to live“, he then reacted, reports the official website of the Bundesliga. DAZN: “It’s a shame, but that’s football, it’s not a problem at all. We are all human, such things happen,” said Dortmund coach Edin Terzic, who was much less understanding of the locals’ second goal. “The way we lost the ball, and the area where we lost it was exactly what we wanted to avoid.”
