Unbeaten since the restart in August, Borussia Dortmund, easy winners of Bruges in the Champions League in midweek, travelled to Stuttgart with the aim of continuing their momentum in order to get back to within two points of the leader, Bayern Munich. But facing an opponent wounded in their pride four days after biting the dust against Real Madrid in the C1, the Ruhr club fell very hard at the MHP Arena.
Launched by Undav from the start of the game (1-0, 4th), the Swabians rolled out to make the break through Demirovic (2-0, 21st) before taking off after the hour mark following a goal by the Frenchman and silver medallist at the Paris Olympics, Millot (3-0, 62nd). If Guirassy sounded the revolt in the last quarter of an hour against his former team (3-1, 75th), the substitute Bilal Touré killed the suspense in the bud by offering his team a three-goal lead (4-1, 80th) before Undav, author of a double in added time, made an already very salty score for the Marsupials (5-1, 90th+4). With this big win, Stuttgart is back in the standings (6th). Ejected from the top 6, Dortmund conceded its first defeat of the Nuri Sahin era.
