BVB were also unable to get the away win they were hoping for in Mainz.
Jae-Sung Lee (36th), Jonathan Burkardt (45th + 3) and Paul Nebel (54th) caused the fourth defeat of the season for Dortmund, who were plagued by failures for weeks and also had to do without Can from the. 27th minute. The captain was sent off for serious misconduct.
Dortmund are waiting for their first away win
The interim equalizer from Serhou Guirassy (40th, penalty kick) was ultimately worthless; The Westphalians are still waiting for their first away win of the season and are in danger of losing touch with the top group in the league.

On the other hand, the home team won in front of their own audience for the first time in the current season. Before the two-week international break, the Rheinhessen climbed into solid midfield in the table.
BVB with many failures
BVB coach Nuri Sahin had to make up for eight absences on Saturday, although he was able to welcome two returnees, Julian Ryerson and Yan Couto. Regardless of the failure, Sahin took his team to task: “We must finally get a three-pointer away from home,” he warned before the game.
In front of 33,000 spectators in the sold-out Mainz Arena, BVB tried possession football first, sometimes the zero fives retreated deep into their own half. The first dangerous chance was for Mainz: Burkardt got in front of BVB keeper Alexander Meyer after a pass, but his aim was too inaccurate (18th).
Can-Rot begins a victory
The home team became more active – and shortly afterwards there was a bigger man: Can tackled Lee at ankle height in his own penalty area, referee Florian Badstübner pulled out the red card. A sticking point as Dortmund’s Julian Brandt found after the game.
With a full band we could bring the energy. The early red card didn’t help us. He himself knows that he needs to be a little more careful. He is very upset about his action

And things got even worse for the visitors: a cross from Anthony Caci which Lee bent free-standing to give Mainz the lead. But the visitors leveled when Guirassy scored from the penalty spot after Lee eventually set up the scorer in the penalty area. But that wasn’t enough in the first half: deep into stoppage time, da Costa crossed from the right, Burkardt netted to put Mainz back in front.
Dortmund can’t find their way into the game
Dortmund, depleted in every way, struggled to find their way back into the game after the break – and even trailed by two goals after just under an hour. Nebel was served in the penalty area by Philipp Mwene, who scored his first Bundesliga goal.
It seemed that the resistance of the Black and Yellows was now broken, and Nico Schlotterbeck appeared dangerously again in front of Robin Zentner’s goal (83′). So BVB could no longer avoid the victory they deserved in the end.
