Borussia Dortmund’s terrible season is still facing a happy ending. With the 4-0 (1-0) against VfL Wolfsburg, the team of coach Niko Kovac came in a row for the first time this season. The BVB jumped in fourth place for the time being and let the fans sing inspired by the European Cup – that seemed unthinkable a few weeks ago.
Even if the BVB falls back to fifth in Freiburg victory against Leverkusen on Sunday – the Westphalia were recently in the table on the twelfth matchday. Goal hunter Serhou Guirassy (3rd minute/59.) And substitute Karim Adeyemi (69./73.) Each provided a double pack for the sixth game in a row without defeat in the Bundesliga.
Wolfsburg, on the other hand, also remained without a win in the eighth game at a time. The last success for Lower Saxony has now been more than two months ago. In view of only two points during this period, the team of the criticized coach Ralph Hasenhüttl can be happy that it can no longer descend.
Guirassy converted ice cold
But the truth also includes: for a long time, Dortmund did not play like a Champions League participant and Wolfsburg like a completely unsettled, unsuccessful team. The guests broke only in the final phase. A quick goal helped the BVB. However, this was also half a random product. Just because Julian Brandt slipped under the slippery, Guirassy came to the play equipment after almost 180 seconds in front of the Wolfsburg Gate and turned ice cold.
For a long time, BVB did not give the BVB the lead. Wolfsburg played along, but was ultimately too harmless without a top scorer Mohamed Amoura on the starting eleven. After a training dispute with Joakim Maehle, the Algerier initially only sat on the bench.
After the early goal, the game initially flattened out, yawning boredom prevailed until the break whistle. Even after the change of sides, the game of the BVB in particular remained surprisingly without ideas in the face of the great opportunity that had resulted from the mistakes of the competition. Class, on the other hand, had Guirassys’s second goal after an excellent preparatory work by Pascal. For Guirassy it was the twelfth goal in the second half of the season. No other Bundesliga player met more often.
The trembling game that it had been for BVB until then suddenly calmed down because Wolfsburg was now. Substitute Adeyemi finally made the decision with his two goals within four minutes, which was too much of a good in height.
