A match in the 28th round of the Bundesliga is contested, with Borussia Dortmund hosting Stuttgart. Borussia Dortmund was able to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League this season, which is quite surprising, after all, they were in the group of death at the time, and the result was very smooth all the way. Moreover, Dortmund was also lucky to draw Atletico Madrid instead of other top giants. In the league, Dortmund defeated Bayern at the Allianz Arena for the first time in many years, which was not easy. Dortmund have won the last 5 games and are in very good form. This time, Dortmund are playing against Stuttgart, who are ranked third. As a result, Dortmund overturned, lost the match, and ended a five-game winning streak.
Borussia Dortmund lined up 433. Jadon Sancho, Phil Krueger and Adeyemi make up the attacking trident. Sabitzer, Emre Can and Brandt combined in midfield. Ryerson, Hummels, Schlotterbeck and Maatsen started the game in the back four. Kerber was the starting goalkeeper. Alai, Moukoko, Reus and Ozcan are on the bench.
Shortly after the start of the game, Adeyemi forced the ball into the box and was suspected of being kicked down by his opponent. However, the referee did not react in any way. There was some controversy over the decision, after all, the knees of the two were in contact. In the 11th minute, Emre Can tried a long-range shot from outside the box and kicked a rebound that the goalkeeper flew to save. In the 20th minute, Sabitzer fired a long-range shot from the perimeter, but it was not much of a threat, and the goalkeeper easily confiscated the ball.
In the 31st minute, Adeyemi burst into the box and faced the goalkeeper one-on-one, but his shot was blocked by the goalkeeper. It was the best chance of the first half and it was squandered. Dortmund had 45% possession in the first half, 6 shots on goal, 3 on target, and failed to score. Stuttgart, on the other hand, had just three shots on goal in the first half, none of which were on target.
In the second half, it was easy to play again. In the 50th minute, Levelin volleyed from the right side of the penalty area and kicked wide. In the 60th minute, Phil Krueger grabbed a header in the penalty area, but the goalkeeper confiscated the ball. Four minutes later, Borussia Dortmund conceded a goal! Dortmund collapsed with a bang. In the 82nd minute, Schlotterbeck had a great chance when his close-range shot in front of goal was kicked wide and he missed the chance to equalize. In the end, Dortmund lost 0-1 to Stuttgart. Jadon Sancho made seven key passes in the game, but none of his team-mates could find the ball in the game, so there was nothing he could do. The race for the top four is chaotic, Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund are both on 53 points, ranking fourth and fifth, and who will qualify for the Champions League is full of uncertainties.
