Hertha BSC has to go to the relegation after 1: 2 against Dortmund

On the day of the big farewell in Dortmund, BVB with Bürki, Zagadou, Witsel and Haaland were four players in the starting eleven, who will definitely leave the Borussia in the summer. Compared to the 3-1 win on matchday 33 at SpVgg Greuther Fürth, only Bürki was new from the start, he replaced Hitz, who also missed his last game in the BVB jersey.

Hertha, meanwhile, missed the 1-2 against 1. FSV Mainz 05 on the last match day to secure the relegation prematurely. As a result, the capitals had to tremble and look at what VfB Stuttgart (16th place) did at the same time against 1. FC Köln. Felix Magath exchanged his starting eleven in four positions: Plattenhardt, Mittelstädt, Ekkelenkamp and Belfodil replaced Dardai, Selke (both muscular problems), Darida and Boateng (both bank).

penalty after VAR use

The changes were fruitful among the guests who left BVB the ball and only sought the duels from the center line. Dortmund was looking for solutions right from the start, but it hardly found it because on the one hand the movement was missing without ball and on the other hand, unusual reckless errors occasionally took a sense.

Hertha tried to use BVB's errors by switching quickly - and was confirmed in this approach after a little more than a quarter of an hour. Belfodil was sent to the right, penetrated into the penalty area and was then brought down by Zagadou. Referee Tobias Stieler initially decided on the sidelines, but was corrected by the Var and looked at the scene again on the screen. The contact was undisputed, there was penalty for the guests - Belfodil started and converted at the bottom left (18th).

BVB with four chain in round two

The task became more difficult for BVB, Hertha was subsequently even deeper, but defended compact and aggressive in his own penalty area. Dortmund could not earn a real chance of scoring in the first round, just a slipped flank from Zagadou, the Lotka defused, caused danger before the break (44.).

After the restart, not much changed at first, but Rose brought more speed into play with Bynoe-Gitten for Can. As a result, Dortmund acted with a chain of four, but BVB remained faulty in possession of the ball. After all, Bynoe-Gitten radiated some danger, the Youngster also initiated a good chance for Reus in minute 51, but after a Pass from Brandt ahead of Lotka.

Rose changes the Dortmund victory

As a result, Dortmund did not succeed from the game, but BVB came to a flattering compensation: Ascacibar blocked a free kick from Guerreiro in the penalty area with his arm, which also got Plattenhardt on the arm. Stieler saw this on the video screen. Haaland converted the following penalty, but the Norwegian was lucky that Lotka was only one foot on it and the ball jumped over the line (68.).

The goal was good for the Dortmund game, Hertha was still going deep in his own half. After 83 minutes, Rose Moukoko brought Witsel - and thus changed victory. The youngster was only on the field for a few seconds when Bellingham was sent out out of Bellingham to the left into the penalty area and then flattened dryly with left. The ball crashed into the right inside post and went from there into the goal (84th).

jovetic only on the outside network

The game was turned - and suddenly Hertha had to tremble again. For a long time it was 1-1 in Stuttgart, but Endo put VfB in the lead in the second minute of added time. That spoke around quickly in Dortmund, despite the offensive change, the flat -like Berliners could no longer get stuck in half of the BVB. Only Jovetic came to a chance in the final phase, but only shot the outside network (90.+2). So it remained in the 2-1 for Borussia and Weil also brought the victory over time, Hertha is now going to the relegation. The capital club on Thursday and the following Monday (8.30 p.m.) is in demand there.
