Little shine, but a lot of work: Thanks to Erling Haaland, Borussia Dortmund has found its way back on the road to success and with great difficulty at least maintained the six-point deficit on the league leaders FC Bayern. After the last two Bundesliga games with just one point, the table runner-up was only partially able to live up to his role as a favorite with a 3-0 (1-0) win over the bottom SpVgg Greuther Fürth. In front of 15,000 spectators, Haaland was once again the decisive man with two hits (33./hand penalty, 82.). Donyell Malen scored the third goal (89th). This was the first time Dortmund had conceded a goal in this Bundesliga season. On the other hand, the guests remain away from home without winning any points.
At the Fürth, meanwhile, the anger over referee Daniel Schlager was great. Less because of the penalty and more because of a tough duel between the BVB youngster Jude Bellingham, who had already been warned, and which had no consequences. “We would have flown from the field. I can give you a letter and a seal. If that had been a blue player, he would have been gone,” scolded sports director Rachid Azzouzi at Sky TV, and coach Stefan Leitl saw the yellow card for complaining . Azzouzi even spoke of a general unequal treatment of the referees: “I think so, even if I am stoned by the referees, that it is subconsciously that way if you allow yourself to make a mistake against Dortmund, then there is theater. If you make a mistake against Fürth happens, nobody will talk about it in three hours. ” The anger was understandable, especially since the Fürth team made a good away game – no comparison, for example, to the 1: 7 in Leverkusen.
