This Tuesday, the 17th day of the Bundesliga began with a match between teams in difficulty. Relegated, Holstein Kiel (17th) received Borussia Dortmund (8th) far from a place worthy of its rank. And this match turned into a disaster for the Marsupials. Alexander Bernhardsson quickly recovered a ball to find Shuto Machino who broke the deadlock for Kiel (27th). Just behind, the promoted team took cover with a cross from Lasse Rosenboom victoriously taken by the head of Phil Harres (32nd).
Just before the break, Holstein Kiel would hit the nail on the head. Scorer, Phil Harres then transformed into a passer for Alexander Bernhardsson (45th +4). A catastrophic first period for the BvB which was stunned. But not yet beaten since Dortmund reacted in the second half with goals from Giovanni Reyna (71st) and Jamie Bynoe-Gittens (77th) to reduce the gap. Moving back, Kiel even finished at ten with the exclusion of Lewis Holtby (86th). Still snatching a 4-2 victory with a goal in the last seconds from Jann-Fiete Arp (90th +9), Kiel returned to two points behind play-off Heidenheim and three lengths from Hoffenheim, the first non-relegation place. Dortmund are 5 points out of the top 4 with one game in hand.
