It works with him!
Dortmund wins 2-0 against Leverkusen – and wins the championship exciting again! Borussia 2023 has already caught up to Bayern by six points. Only three points separate BVB (now fourth) from Munich and first place.
Haller to enjoy! The prettiest non-submission of the season
One of the match winners: Sébastien Haller (28)! The striker, who is in the starting XI for the first time after suffering from testicular cancer, is building on his perfect record: three games, three wins.
How important Haller is for BVB, he shows in the 33rd minute: After Bayer’s Nadiem Amiri (26) loses the ball in his own half, Dortmund quickly switches.
Julian Brandt (26) crosses, Haller deliberately allows himself to be tunneled to make room for the free-standing Karim Adeyemi (21). With success! The DFB professional pushes in dry from 13 meters to make it 1-0. For Adeyemi it is the first league goal for Dortmund.
Shortly after the break, Leverkusen put Borussia on the road to victory. After a sharp cross from Marius Wolf (27), Edmond Tapsoba (23) fakes the ball into his own goal. 2-0
For Leverkusen it is the first defeat after five wins in a row and the first home bankruptcy under coach Xabi Alonso (41) – and that in front of Rudi Völler (62), the long-time Bayer boss and new DFB director.
But not only Leverkusen have to take a bankruptcy that evening: It is also a used evening for Youssoufa Moukoko (18). The top talent was on the bench for 90 minutes. Even Anthony Modeste (34) was given priority over him and was substituted on – after Moukoko had just extended his contract and wanted to assert himself in Borussia’s regular formation. But that didn’t dampen his mood. After the final whistle, the clipper celebrated victory with his teammates in front of the fans in the curve.
