Andrej Kramaric scored four goals and Borussia Dortmund’s crusade ended humiliatingly with a 4-0 goal across Hoffenheim.
(More news)
It was the Croatian, that Dortmund striker Erling Haaland, who stole the exhibition at Signal Iduna Park with an excess of targets to ensure that Hoffenheim finished sixth, well enough to qualify for next season’s Europa League stages.
The BVB already trusted the place at the time, and they left Achraf Hakimi and Jadon Sancho on the bench until half-time, but suffered a major defeat just two days after it proved that coach Lucien Favre will return next season.
Former Leicester City striker Kramaric scored twice before half-time and added two more within five minutes of the reboot to take his overall season to 12.
Favre’s men were delayed just 8 minutes after an unmarked Kramaric approached the edge of the area before heading to the house after Pavel Kaderabek’s retreat.
More lax in dortmund’s defence saw them lose 2-0 in part-time when Robert Skov’s shot returned via Kramaric, who had played in the match through Lukasz Piszczek.
Favre called Hakimi and Sancho at half-time, but temporarily went from bad to worse.
Mats Hummels failed to cross the ball twice and Piszczek did consider Kramaric, who cut the Dortmund captain internally and controlled a finish on Roman Burki’s legs for his hat-trick.
Moments later, Hoffenheim had a penalty, Hummels felt he had pushed Munas Dabbur to the ground, Kramaric urged a shot of Burki from the penalty point to give him a quarter of the afternoon.
Without Burki, the defeat could have been even heavier, as he made good stops to deny the replacement of Dabbur, Skov and Christoph Baumgartner.
For the departure of Dortmund midfielder Mario Gotze – only in the stands because he had not been able to pass the coronavirus tests required to allow him to play – was a farewell he probably settled for not being a part of.
What does that mean? Shameful end to Dortmund’s disappointing campaign
This crusade had promised a lot to Dortmund, especially when Haaland arrived in January and took over, however, they finished Bayern Munich after losing three of their last four games at home.
The absence of enthusiasts could possibly be this to some extent, but, given that Real Madrid lender Hakimi will not supposedly return next quarter, and persistent rumours about Sancho’s long career as well, one has to wonder whether Dortmund will really take a step back in 2020-2021. .
Kramaric’s overabundance
For the fourth consecutive season, Kramaric has reached twice as many in the Bundesliga, an even more feat this quarter given his injury problems.
The 29-year-old, who has made 14 starts this season, gave a ruthless demonstration of punchlines, one That Haaland would have admired.
Horror exhibition for Hummels and Piszczek
The two senior Dortmund centres were driven through Kramaric, without having been able to choose the runners and making fundamental mistakes that you don’t expect to see in players of their caliber.
BVB had been left with 3 sheets in its last 4 games, so let’s put this on a bad day at the office.
What’s next?
Dortmund’s second-place debut means they will be in the Champions League next season, while Hoffenheim will play in the Europa League.
