Thanks to Serhou Guirassy, Borussia Dortmund remains on the heels of FC Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga and has reduced the gap to the record champions, who were already believed to have eluded them, to six points. BVB won 3-2 (1-1) against bottom team 1. FC Heidenheim after being 1-2 down thanks to a brace from Guirassy, who was recently unlucky (68’/hand penalty/70′).
The second-place team celebrated their fifth Bundesliga home win in a row. Guirassy also missed another penalty (85′). Previously, Waldemar Anton (44th) had given Dortmund a 1-0 lead. Julian Niehues (45th + 5/48th) scored twice for Heidenheim, who are now five points behind the relegation zone. The top game between Dortmund and FC Bayern will take place on February 28th.
Late winning goal for Stuttgart
With a goal shortly before the end, Ermedin Demirovic gave VfB Stuttgart a home win against SC Freiburg. Demirovic made it 1-0 (0-0) and the twelfth win of the season for coach Sebastian Hoeneß’s team with a remarkable long-range shot in the 90th minute. The Swabians thus moved past RB Leipzig (36) into fourth place in the table with 39 points and are in a Champions League place.
The Baden team, who celebrated their place in the round of 16 of the Europa League on Thursday, are now in seventh place with 27 points, even after the 20th matchday, a long way behind the European Cup places. VfB, unbeaten in the league for seven games, had a lot of ball possession and the better chances in the Baden-Württemberg duel. However, there was a lack of efficiency until the decision was made.
