Reyna took advantage of an Olschowsky mistake to score the final goal off a free-kick at the death. After Stindl's effort, however, matters cooled off. For one brief moment, it seemed there could have been a comeback. Stindl actually tested Kobel with a stinging effort two minutes later. The Algerian finished the 1-4 himself from the spot.ĭeparting BMG skipper Lars Stindl entered the match fifteen minutes from time and, together with fellow sub Luca Netz, made matters mildly interesting. The subbed on Giovanni Reyna fouled Bensebaini illegally in the box. The guests were gifted a lifeline via a penalty in the 75th. BVB actors understandably didn't wish to risk injury whilst Gladbach looked completely deflated. Haller finished off a direct cross from Malen straight through the legs of the loose marking Marvin Friedrich.ĭortmund keeper Gregor Kobel was called into action a couple of times before the half was out, but neither side really had any interest in playing after that for a good long while. Brandt and Malen were once again involved in the lead-up to Haller's brace. Gladbach's Nathan Ngoumou, filling in for Marcus Thuram at lead-striker, tried to have a go at the spectacular himself seven minutes after that, missing on a tight-angle-effort in the 27th. Haller - once again not well marked - did supply an outstanding blind right-footed finish with his back to goal. Two minutes after that, some lovely combo play from Malen and Julian Brandt led to Haller receiving a chance from the center of the box. Jude Bellingham converted the 2-0 from the spot in the 18th. The hosts were awarded a penalty in the 16th when Florian Neuhaus hacked Haller down in the box. Wave after wave of BVB attacks were only briefly interrupted by a quality BMG charge in the 12th. There were soon more signs that Gladbach would be in for a long evening. The luck involved in the opener almost seemed immaterial as the marking on Haller was atrocious. As a result, Donyell Malen was able to head in easily from just in front of the goal-lone. Haller's eventual effort on goal took an unlucky, from Gladbach's point-of-view, deflection off Ramy Bensebaini. The hosts rushed out to an early lead when lead striker Sebastien Haller was allowed to go on a long run virtually unchallenged. Despite the fact that he was once again available after suspension, Ko Itakura began the game on the bench. Hannes Wolf also deputized for the suspended Alassane Plea. BMG trainer Farke had to do without first-choice keeper Jonas Omlin on short notice. Twenty-one-year-old Jan Olschowsky took the Swiss international's place. Dortmund rushed out to an early 4-0 lead against Daniel Farke's foals shortly after the half-hour-mark and the game was essentially non-competitive for long stretches of time.īVB trainer Terzic obviously saw no need to tinker with the XI that demolished VfL Wolfsburg last Sunday. Edin Terzic's Borussia Dortmund responded to FC Bayern München's 6-0 win over FC Schalke 04 with a 5-2 win of their own over Borussia Mönchengladbach. The top two in the Bundesliga table remain just one point apart with two matchdays remaining.
