A match more important than it seems. If for Borussia Dortmund, a victory was imperative to stay in the race for Europe, for RB Leipzig on the other hand, winning today would allow the club to maintain the pressure on Bayern Munich. But this evening, it was Dortmund who finally won (2-1). After a slow start to the match, Benjamin Sesko placed a shot under the bar and opened the scoring for Leipzig (27th, 0-1). The BVB responded immediately with the equalizer from Maximilian Beier’s header (30th, 1-1).

Returning from the locker room, the “Yellows and Blacks” showed more intensity. As evidenced by the 60% possession in the second half for Borussia. Serhou Guirassy then concluded his team’s good phase with a goal (65th, 2-1). At the end of the game, Brandt (72nd) and Beier (74th) will not be very far from increasing the score, but without success. At the end of the match, Marco Rose’s men remain second in the Bundesliga with 20 points. For its part, Dortmund takes 5th position in the standings with 16 points.
