Dortmund knocks down Leipzig and exits its negative spiral

In crisis, decimated by injuries and yet Borussia Dortmund inflicted their first defeat of the season on RB Leipzig in the league.

Decimated by injuries, in crisis and trailing against the run of play, Borussia Dortmund finally managed to reverse the trend to win (2-1) and inflict RB Leipzig with their first defeat of the season, this Saturday evening.

With this victory won at home in their Westfalenstadion, Nuri Sahin's men put an end to a series of three defeats away from their base in Madrid against Real (5-2 after leading 2-0), in Augsburg in the league (2 -1) and to Wolfsburg in the Cup (1-0 after extra time). Beaten for the first time this season in the Bundesliga, RB Leipzig remains at 20 points and sees Bayern escape alone at the top of the standings with 23 points, after their home victory against Union Berlin (3-0, double by Kane).

BVB moved up to Bayer Leverkusen, the reigning German champion held to a draw by Stuttgart on Friday (0-0), with 16 points and already seven points behind Bayern.

Leipzig opened the scoring through Benjamin Cesko in the 27th minute, but Dortmund equalized three minutes later thanks to Maximilian Beier. Peter Gulacsi, Leipzig goalkeeper, pushed back Dortmund's attempts for a long time, but had to give in to a header from Serhou Guirassy (65th minute). With six points in the Champions League, Dortmund hosts the Austrians at Sturm Graz on Tuesday (9:00 p.m.), while Leipzig will absolutely have to win in Glasgow against Celtic after losing their first three matches at European level (in Madrid against Atlético , and at home against Juventus Turin and Liverpool).
