Hoffenheim 0-1 Borussia Dortmund But: 0-1 Reus (76′)
Although Hoffenheim did not feature the most sensible scorer Andrej Kramaric and Haaland of Dortmund, both groups came out of the blocks. Mijat Gacinovic beat Marwin Hitz at Robert Skov’s center, but failed to achieve his slippage on target, while Jadon Sancho’s attempt to throw a shot at Oliver Baumann did not go well. A head injury forced Lukasz Piszczek to leave very early, and Lucien Favre was forced to reorganize by calling Thomas Delaney. Dortmund, however, controlled ownership of the PreZero Arena in the face of an aspect of the Hoffenheim satisfied with paintings in the counterattack. The BVB attack, consisting of Sancho, Julian Brandt and Gio Reyna, nevertheless began to click at the end of the first half: the American had a transparent shot from the line through Skov before Thomas Meunier cast a head-on look at the bar. Array Brandt would have had an undisputed ending if it had controlled Sancho’s hard pass just before halftime, but neither aspect could break the impasse in the first half.
Control of Dortmund’s ball continued in the middle of the moment, but the odds dry up for both teams, with the defenders winning. Reus and Haaland arrived here for BVB just after the hour, and the substitutes combined to produce the desired effect on for Favre’s team. A less than 15 minutes to the end, Reyna’s shot in a long ball sent Haaland on purpose and with Baumann closing, the Norwegian passed the purpose for Reus to break calmly. inches to score himself after a good pass from Raphael Guerreiro, before hitting the outside of Baumann’s right post moments after Christoph Baumgartner left a chance at the other end. lead and may have added their general before the full-time beep.
Reus scored his first Bundesliga goal since March 2014, while Ortmund claimed his first victory over Hoffenheim in six league games. Dortmund have not tied their last 21 matches in all competitions, dating back to December 2019 and a 3-3 draw with RB Leipzig. In 2019/20, Hoffenheim beat Dortmund at home and away in a season without first getting married (2-1 and 4-0).
