Borussia Dortmund lost 1:3 (1:2) ⁢at 1.⁤ FSV Mainz 05 on day 10 of the Bundesliga. The hosts took advantage of the early⁤ red card for​ BVB captain Emre ⁣Can (27th minute, serious ⁢foul) and ⁤the resulting long majority. ​Jae-sung Lee (36th), Jonathan Burkardt (45th + 3) and Paul ‍Nebel (54th) scored the win, Serhou Guirassy (40th, penalty kick) scored to make it ⁤1-1.

⁣ It was the next goal for an injury-hit⁣ Dortmund side, who ⁢are still ⁢winless away from home. Recent wins against Leipzig ⁢and Graz have raised hopes‍ of‌ change, ⁣but now⁤ the gap to leaders Bayern Munich has widened to‍ ten points.

“In the​ situation ⁢we are in,​ it is not ⁤easy​ playing with ten men for 60 minutes against ‍a tough opponent,” BVB coach Nuri Sahin told Sportschau. “I can’t blame the boys because they have been trying to get everything out of them for weeks, almost always playing⁤ in the same formation.”

Defender Nico Schlotterbeck emphasized ‌positives. “The boys ran non-stop, we ended up playing with⁤ five or six young ⁣professionals – that’s huge.”

Mainz ends slump at home

On the other hand,​ Mainz ended a streak ​of four games without a​ win and‍ celebrated their first home win at the sixth attempt.​ In the table, FSV moved within three points of Dortmund.

“We showed a⁣ good team ‌performance, we were very close against the ball and ​we switched well,”‍ said FSV attacker Burkardt. “The red card really played‌ into our hands, but we continued to play ⁤well.”

Dortmund can with an open base

The personnel situation at BVB ‍was slightly relaxed before ‌the‌ game. Julian Ryerson returned ⁤to the starting line-up for suspended left-back ⁢Ramy Bensebaini, while Yan Couto was at least back in the squad. However, Waldemar Anton and Niklas⁤ Süle were still missing in central defence, so⁢ Can again had to help out centrally​ in the defensive line.

He then shone against Graz,⁤ but against ⁢Mainz he weakened his⁢ team‍ with a poor tackle. ‌In his own penalty area he hit Lee Mainz ‌with⁢ an open tire and was shown red The ‍only correct decision⁤ – Can probably saw it that way too.

He refrained from protesting and apologized ⁢to Lee. “Emre also⁢ knows he’s not allowed to go in there like that,” Sahin said. “It’s a red card and it was ​decisive in the game today.”

Sahin then pulled Felix Nmecha back into the back four, but less than ten minutes ‌later ⁢Dortmund were already behind. Lee headed Anthony Caci’s cross over the line from close range.

Shortly​ after, Lee was back in the middle of the action. He⁢ lost the⁣ ball in his own half and then​ fouled Guirassy in his own penalty area. The BVB striker took the penalty himself and scored safely to make it 1-1.

    • Interview Transcript: ​Time.news Editor and Football Expert

    Editor: Good morning and welcome to Time.news. Today, we have the pleasure of speaking with football analyst and Bundesliga expert, Dr. Felix Richter. Let’s dive into the recent match between Borussia ⁢Dortmund and 1. FSV Mainz 05 that shook up the‌ standings. Dr. Richter, how would you summarize Dortmund’s performance in this match?

    Dr. ​Richter: Good ⁤morning! It was a tough outing for Dortmund, to say the least. Playing with ten men for almost an hour really hampered their chances. The early red ​card for Emre Can proved to be a ⁤pivotal moment, as it allowed Mainz to capitalize on their numerical ‍advantage.

    Editor: ⁣Yes, it seems the red card had a significant impact. What did you think of Dortmund’s struggle to maintain ⁣control after that moment?

    Dr. Richter: Absolutely. Once Can was sent off in the 27th minute—a decision I believe was correct, given the nature of the foul—Dortmund had to adapt quickly. Coach Nuri Sahin mentioned ‍that they were trying to give their all​ despite the setbacks. However, the lack of depth due to injuries meant they had to rely on​ several young professionals, which is commendable but also exposes the team to greater difficulties.

    Editor: Speaking of injuries, Dortmund has had a ⁣rough time with their squad depth. With players like Waldemar Anton and Niklas Süle missing, how crucial was Can’s presence before ⁢his dismissal?

    Dr. Richter: Can’s ‌versatility has been essential for Dortmund, especially in defense, where he’s been filling in due to other absences.⁣ His experience is invaluable, but his ill-timed challenge against Mainz was a major error. He acknowledged this, ⁣and it shifted the dynamic of the game entirely. They were starting to find some form ‌again, but this type of setback can deflate a team.

    Editor:​ On⁣ the other ⁢hand, Mainz ​celebrated their first ⁣home win of the season. What did they do right in‍ this match?

    Dr. Richter: ​Mainz demonstrated resilience and tactical discipline. They pressed Dortmund effectively when they lost the⁣ ball and managed to maintain ‍pressure, ultimately breaking ‍through with goals from Jae-sung Lee and others. Burkardt’s comments about team performance resonate well—they maximized the opportunities presented to them and solidified their game plan after the red card, which is something they⁢ struggled with in previous matches.

    Editor: With this loss, Dortmund finds themselves ten points ⁢behind Bayern Munich. What does this⁣ mean for ⁣their title ambitions?

    Dr. Richter: It’s a significant‌ gap, especially ‍at this stage​ of the season. Dortmund will need to stabilize their squad and recapture their earlier momentum quickly if they‍ want to get back into the title race. Bayern, with their consistency, will be hard to catch if BVB continues to stumble like this. They really need ‌to regroup and focus on winning their upcoming matches.

    Editor: what do you think we should⁣ look out for⁢ in Dortmund’s strategy moving forward?

    Dr. Richter: I expect Sahin to try and instill a feeling of unity and resilience within the squad. They need ​to find a⁣ formation that​ optimizes the young talent stepping up while also trying to integrate returning ‍players effectively. In the Bundesliga, consistency is key, and ⁤Dortmund must find a way to be competitive in away games, given their winless record so‌ far.

    Editor: Thank you, Dr. Richter, for ⁢sharing your ​insights on this ⁤intriguing match and the current state of Borussia Dortmund.⁤ We appreciate your expertise!

    Dr. Richter: It’s my ⁣pleasure! Let’s hope for ⁢some ⁤exciting ‍games ahead in the Bundesliga.
