Bitter setback in the championship fight with Bayern!
Dortmund loses the duel of the best teams in the second half of the season (both 23 points before the matchday) against Leipzig by 1:4. Game decisive man: Ösi bull Konrad Laimer (24)!
Dortmund in front of a sold-out hut for the first time in 763 days (most recently in February 2020 in a 1-0 win against Freiburg). 81,365 spectators are there, including the BVB Ultras for the first time since the beginning of Corona. A giant banner is emblazoned in front of the south stand: “Welcome back to the Westfalenstadion”. But the mood dampener comes quickly.
21 minutes: Laimer steals the ball from Can, plays it and goes straight up. Nkunku puts it to good use. Chip over Kobel. 1:0 – directly in front of the full south stand.
Interesting: The RB stars are currently practicing the chip degrees a lot in training. Role model in our own ranks: Christopher Nkunku. Seems to work. For Laimer it is already the second goal of this kind after the 6: 1 in Fürth.
And Ösi follows up: Nkunku this time on the right. Laimer takes his deflected cross directly with his left. Can deflects the ball into his own goal – 0:2 (30th)! The 3:0 by Nkunku (58th) he puts on wonderfully with the sole backwards. Two goals, one assist – BILD grade 1!
A gala at the right time for Laimer: The contract of the midfielder, who just missed the World Cup with Austria in the playoff semifinals (1: 2 against Wales), expires in 2023. Leipzig definitely wants to keep him, talks should start soon. Now he has two more good arguments for a contract extension.

Things are worse with Can: The BVB giant still has a contract with BVB until 2024. BVB still wants to get rid of him in the summer. Background: Too many scenes like before 0:1. Its error-prone gameplay has been causing headaches for bosses for a long time. If a reasonable offer comes up, you let him go.
And Leipzig fright Erling Haaland (21/previously 6 goals in three games against RB)? The Norwegian had returned from the Norwegian national team with a blue ankle and gave the go-ahead for the starting XI, but remained pale. BILD grade 6 – the absolute maximum penalty for a superstar like Haaland!
Since his 51-day injury, the Torgarant has not scored in any of his four Bundesliga appearances. The longest goalless phase since he has been with BVB.
In the confusion of the penalty area, Malen scored the goal (84th) to make it 1:3. Olmo (86th) scored the final score by hitting the bar from 20 meters.
For Leipzig coach Domenico Tedesco (36), on the other hand, it is the next 4-goal triumph at BVB. At the end of 2017 he had captured a 4: 4 with FC Schalke after a 0: 4 deficit. This time he takes all the points with BVB.
