At 2:30 a.m. Beijing time on April 9, a match in the 29th round of the Bundesliga was contested, and Dortmund came to challenge Stuttgart. Rozer lined up in a 4231 formation for the match. Greg Korbel as the starting goalkeeper. Guerrero, Accangy, Hummels and Emre Can are paired at 4-back. Dahoud and Bellingham form a double back. The attacking combination of Reus, Renner and Eden Hazard Jr. joined forces. Haaland is at the top. Mukoko, Wolf, Witsel and Brant are all on the bench.
Just 2 minutes into the game, Renner was injured and couldn't hold on, only to be substituted. Brent came off the bench. In the 12th minute, Borussia Dortmund scored! It was Brant, who came off the bench, who scored the goal and received Haaland's cross and easily pushed the empty goal. This also gave birth to a new record in Bundesliga history, the earliest substitute goal in Bundesliga history. In the 22nd minute, Malmsh was given a one-handed chance on the right side of the penalty area to face the goalkeeper, and he chose to rub the shot, only to be slightly higher and miss the perfect opportunity to equalize. In the 34th minute, Dahoud was substituted for injury and Witsel came on as a substitute. At the end of the half, Borussia Dortmund led by one goal.
In the second half, Thiago Thomas's close-range push was unbelievable. In the 58th minute, Reuss attempted a low shot from outside the box that deflected slightly off the right upright. Two minutes later, Sternzer's long-range shot from outside the box was also high. In the 71st minute, Borussia Dortmund scored again! Reuss knocked the ball across to Brent, who stopped the ball, pulled his foot out and fired furiously, and the ball burrowed into the bottom right corner of the goal! The goal killed the suspense of the game. In the 89th minute, Sosa's hanging shot hit the crossbar and was really unlucky. Although Haaland scored a goal in the final moments, he was ruled invalid for offside. The final score was set at 2-0, with Borussia Dortmund beating Stuttgart.
Borussia Dortmund had 58% of the ball in this game, with 12 shots on goal, 4 shots on target and 2 goals. Stuttgart had one more shot on goal than Borussia Dortmund, but the quality of the shot was not good enough to score. In the post-match whoscored rating, Brent scored a game-high 8.4 points, and he scored both shots on goal, which was extremely efficient. This is the first time in three years that Brent has scored twice in the Bundesliga. Borussia Dortmund have scored 11 goals on the league bench this season, the most goals scored by the Bundesliga substitutes.
German superstar Haaland, who is priced at 150 million euros, is once again squirming in this game. This means that Haaland has scored 0 goals in five consecutive Bundesliga games, a very rapid decline, which is all too rare and is the longest goal drought of his Bundesliga career. In the match between Dortmund and Bielefeld, Haaland did not shoot from the bench. Dortmund then played Mainz again as a substitute for Haaland, with just one shot on goal. Dortmund's match against Cologne Harland returned to the starting lineup, scoring no goals on goal in two shots. Dortmund played against Leipzig, Haaland shot 1 shot on goal, failed to shoot right, and was dud again. This time Haaland still had only one shot on goal and failed to score.
