One is fighting to save herself, the other is hitting a championship. So what; The Ruhr Valley Derby it’s always a derby and the Dortmund got it right staying at 2-2 with Schalke in “Veltins Arena”!
Twice the Westphalians took the lead, the “royal blue” found the same number of answers, with Borussia staying that way at -2 from the top and Bayern Munich.
And Schalke left Hoffenheim at the bottom of the Bundesliga standings, taking a breather.

Farman stopped Guerreiro in the 18th minute, with Hummels’ tragic error allowing Salazar to make it four in the 24th minute – with the Uruguayan however sending the ball high wide!
Somewhere there began an aggressive monologue on the part of Borussia. Farman successively said “no” to Mullen (30′) and Wolff (37′), but had no answer to great long shot by Sloterbeck in the 38th minute, making it 1-0!
Dortmund went for a second goal before the break, Farman stopping Bellingham’s curling shot with his feet in the 41st minute and three minutes later seeing Yoshida save Mullen’s effort.

Despite the shock, Dortmund managed to reach new lead ten minutes later. Jan found him with a terrific ball Guerreirowith the Portuguese entering the area from left and ideally end the phaseputting Borussia back in the driver’s seat.
