Guessing game about Wirtz
Dortmund against Leverkusen from 20.30 LIVE
Bayer Leverkusen started the new year with a win. The Werkself won 3:2 at Borussia Dortmund in the German Bundesliga on Friday.
Natan Tella scored after just 25 seconds to make it 1:0 for the double winners, Patrik Schick (8th, 19th) followed up. The goals for Dortmund came from Jamie Gittens (12) and Serhou Guirassy (79/penalty). Leverkusen thus moved to within one point of league leaders Bayern Munich.
Munich will host Mönchengladbach on Saturday. BVB, who have been severely weakened by illness and for whom Marcel Sabitzer, who only recently recovered from a calf injury, was substituted in the 78th minute, remain in sixth place for the time being, but could slip out of the international ranks this weekend.
Tella's goal got Bayer off to a lightning start
Tella's goal was the second fastest of the league season. Only Bayern's Jamal Musiala had been quicker. Seven minutes later, Schick scored when he found himself completely free in front of the BVB goal. Dortmund didn't give up and quickly got the equalizer. Gittens beat Bayer keeper Lukas Hradecky from close range. However, the joy was short-lived. Jeremie Frimpong crossed into the middle, where Schick once again only had to slot home. It was the Czech's eleventh goal of the season. He has scored all of his goals in the last six games.
Wirtz a mystery
Without Florian Wirtz, who Alonso left on the bench for a good hour, Leverkusen retreated far back at times. Coach Alonso left it open as to why the young German star did not get into the game, saying only: "He has no problems. It's something internal. He's in for the second half, no problem." And indeed: Wirtz came on in minute 63.
Dortmund allowed the ball to circulate, but rarely found any gaps. Things got tense again in the final minute. After viewing the video footage and a foul on Julien Duranville, referee Tobias Stieler awarded Dortmund a penalty, which Guirassy converted safely. Dortmund now pressed for the equalizer, but were unable to make a decisive impact. The match had started 15 minutes late due to heavy traffic.
