In the early morning of April 9, Beijing time, the 29th round of the Bundesliga, Stuttgart hosted Borussia Dortmund. In the 11th minute, Dortmund counterattacked, Haaland took the lead, wearing a crotch to send a wonderful pass, teammate Brandt pushed and scored, but, at the first time, the referee raised the flag, indicating that the offside was first, the goal was ruled invalid, Haaland was very disappointed!
Just when everyone had already acquiesced to the invalid goal decision, a dramatic twist followed! The referee took the initiative to change the verdict, signaling that the goal was valid, Haaland went from disappointment to ecstasy, hugging and celebrating with his Dortmund teammates, and his wonderful crotch-piercing pass became an effective assist to help the team build a 1-0 lead.
Through the slow-motion replay freeze frame, we can see that the referee's change is very correct, whether it is the moment Haaland receives the ball, or the moment after Haaland passes the assist, Dortmund is not offside, which is a good goal.
After the last four Bundesliga games, after Haaland's comeback in mid-March, the €150 million superstar has fallen into a rare slump, failing to score in four consecutive games, the first time in his Bundesliga career. Because of Haaland's dud, Borussia Dortmund have only scored one goal in the last five Bundesliga rounds, and the front line is weak. The last two bundesliga draws and one defeat have also cost Borussia Dortmund five points, leaving them nine points behind the table by leaders Bayern. With only the last five rounds of the Bundesliga left, Dortmund had to rely on Haaland's timely outburst to break the goal drought as soon as possible if they wanted to continue their hopes of winning the title.
