Dortmund travels further down to fourth place squandering their chances for the title this season after being defeated at the hands of Bayer Leverkusen 2-1. Dortmund started slowly during the night and ended up conceding in the 14th minute to Moussa Diaby of Bayer Leverkusen, breaking Dortmund’s defense apart with ease. They were presented with many opportunities to score but some home Roman Bürki denied them the lead to keep Dortmund in the game for longer.
The second half started and Julian Brandt equalized for Dortmund as they picked up their pace but owing to their slow defense Florian Wirtz picked it apart in a matter of minutes to retain Leverkusen’s lead with 10 minutes left on the clock. They later denied Dortmund and equalizer and have them settle for their sixth defeat of the season.
