Male initiates Dortmund defeat in Munich

Rarely has Borussia Dortmund had such a chance to put an end to a string of bankruptcies in Munich. The hunter for Bayern has not lost since November 11 and went to the championship of the series as a leader. In addition, the previously strong Gregor Kobel returned to the gates of black and yellow. But the Swiss of all people were responsible for the cruel accident.

Fatal Goat Male

After a confident start, the disaster came in the 13th minute. Completely unhindered, Kobel shot through Upamecano’s long ball and gave Bayern the lead without giving them a chance to score. Five minutes later, Thomas Müller made it 2-0 after a corner kick, and after another five turns of the arrow, Kobel missed a long-range shot by Leroy Sane – Müller once again thanked.

At the latest after Kingsley Coman made it 4-0 just after the break, it was all about the scale of the dismantling. New Bayern manager Thomas Tuchel had an individual start. He allowed his team to be more careful than his predecessor, Julian Nagelsmann, and was richly rewarded for his tactics – thanks in part to Kobel’s mistakes. Jann Sommer, the second Swiss goalkeeper on the pitch, has been out of work for a long time and has conceded two goals in the last 20 minutes. It was nothing more than a cosmetic result.

Union strengthens its place in the top 4

After Dortmund’s first defeat of the calendar year – but already the ninth in a row at the Munich Arena (7:37 goals) – Bayern are two points ahead of their closest pursuer with eight rounds to go. Following them, Union Berlin took another step towards the Champions League. With a 3-0 home win over Stuttgart, Urs Fischer’s team extended their lead over fifth-placed Leipzig to six points.

Union Berlin switched on the rear light after the break. Sheraldo Becker scored to make it 1-0 six minutes after the restart before the decision was made with a double strike. Kevin Behrens (65′) and an own goal from Japan’s Genki Haraguchi (68′) secured the win, which is especially valuable for the surprise team of the season as the competition went awry.

Leipzig loses

Freiburg, which follows just behind Union, only managed a 1-1 draw at home to Hertha Berlin, despite the 13th goal of the season scored by Italian international Vincenzo Grifo.

Leipzig lost to Mainz 3-0 in front of their fans. The guests around the Swiss Silvan Widmer and Edimilson Fernandes, Markus Ingvartsen scored before and Ludovic Ayorke and Dominik Kor after the break. For Leipzig, this was the third defeat in the last four league matches.
