Not even Dortmund now. Another loss for the Westphalians, who drew 1-1 with Mainz at home and dropped two more points.
The home side opened the scoring in the 29th minute with Brand sending the ball into the net with a free-kick, while they could have taken the lead in the 8th minute when Gittens’ effort hit the post. Zabitcher also wasted an opportunity in the 31st minute for 2-0, while against the flow of the match it became 1-1 with Van de Bergh’s header.
Thus, Dortmund, which in Europe is doing well, having secured a ticket for the “16” of the Champions League, taking qualification from a group with Paris, Milan and Newcastle, is in danger of being -7 from the 4th place that gives a ticket for the… sheet. That will happen if Stuttgart beat Augsburg at home on Wednesday.
