Benjamin Sesko gave RB Leipzig a 1-0 lead (27th). Before and after, Dortmund had more of the game and also had better chances. Maximilian Beier equalized (30th) before Serhou Guirassy took a long-range lead in the 65th minute. After that, Dortmund missed several more chances.
“One game doesn’t make you a top team,” said BVB coach Nuri Sahin after the 2-1 win over Leipzig. His team made “a lot of small steps.”02.11.2024 | 4:07 min
Leipzig are now three points behind Bayern
Recently, the victories in the Champions League against Real Madrid (2:5), in the Bundesliga against FC Augsburg (1:2) and in the DFB Cup against VfL Wolfsburg (0:1 nV) have been impressive on Dortmund.
The Saxons, coached by former BVB coach Marco Rose, are now three points behind leaders FC Bayern in second place in the table.
BVB coach Sahin felt pressure
Although sporting director Lars Ricken has been very supportive of the young head coach in recent days, Sahin admitted to “Sky” before the game: “It’s difficult, I’ve had nicer days in my life.”
Leipzig’s first shot is correct
It suited the Westphalia situation that the visitors, who had been harmless for a long time, took the lead with their first shot on goal. After half an hour, Sesko headed Lois Openda’s back-heel from a tight angle into the net as Alexander Meyer didn’t get his hands up quickly enough in the BVB goal.
The 33-year-old represented Gregor Kobel, who was also injured at short notice.
