Well, that’s twice now BVB have failed to hold onto a lead in the league, three times this season, counting the game against Juventus. It was an uninspiring match from Niko Kovac’s men after their 4-1 battering in Manchester, and this draw will feel a lot like a loss after leading up to the 97th […]

Borussia Dortmund came to the Etihad Stadium in Manchester and fell 4-1 to Manchester City. While the scoreline definitely makes it seem like a paddling, this game wasn’t quite as one-sided as 4-1 would indicate. BVB pressed very hard in the first 20 minutes and City looked quite uncomfortable. A late set-piece goal from Waldemar […]

Dortmund did just that on this Friday away game at Augsburg, securing the three points as planned. And Guirassy, who had been on a six game scoreless run, got the goal. Beyond that, the […]

The second round of the DFB-Pokal was concluded last night. There were few major upsets, with Holstein Kiel’s 1-0 victory over Wolfsburg perhaps the most notable. However, the biggest story from the midweek fixtures took place in a tie between two 2. Bundesliga teams. Sixth-placed Darmstadt gave top-of-the-table Schalke an absolute shellacking on their way […]
