- BVB is celebrating a football party that hasn’t been seen in Signal-Iduna-Park for a long time. 6:1 against Wolfsburg. It’s already 5-0 at the break. Insanity!
More than 70,000 spectators are completely over the moon. Maybe with one exception. Jörg Schmadtke, Managing Director Sport at VfL, wears a facial expression reminiscent of that of Barça boss Joan Laporta at the sight of 25,000 Frankfurt fans at the Camp Nou…
It’s the hour of the unlikely heroes in black and yellow. The only 17-year-old Tom Rothe makes his first Bundesliga game – and opens the scoring. What a premiere!
Within 14 minutes, Axel Witsel (2nd goal of the season), Manuel Akanji (1st goal of the season), Emre Can (4th goal of the season) and Erling Haaland (okay, 17th goal of the season) also scored.
Dortmund like in a rush. However, also against an opponent who completely refuses to work. Strike at the VW soccer plant. The Wolfsburg show an embarrassing performance. Even the otherwise reliable keeper Koen Casteels gets it wrong more often than Britney Spears when choosing a partner.
Beforehand, VfL coach Florian Kohfeldt had said: “It will be a game in which we will throw everything into the balance to win. The team has shown what they are capable of and we have to realize that a millimeter less will not be enough.”
Rarely has an announcement been so little filled with life as in this case…
And the BVB fans? They’re looking forward to the Bundesliga summit in a week, chanting “Take off Bayern’s lederhosen!”
One can still dream…
But with all due respect: This victory is fun for all black and yellow – but otherwise it doesn’t do much for BVB. 2nd place is cemented, but the championship move has left.
At the bottom of the table, on the other hand, Wolfsburg shouldn’t feel too safe – especially after Hertha’s victory in Augsburg, which makes the race to stay up even more exciting. The Berliners are temporarily leaving the relegation zone.
