(Borussia Dortmund – Hoffenheim 2-2) Dortmund’s crisis seemed to get worse in a game that had almost everything. Erling Braut Haaland (20) saved points and ended in a fight with Stefan Posch (23).
Posch believed Dortmund should have played the ball when Munas Dabbur fell through injury, but Haaland put the tie in his place and did not want any of the fair play criticism.
The two fighting cocks jostled each other several times, before several Dortmund players rushed to separate them.
Haaland had two goals disallowed before he finally sat down, ten minutes before the end, when Dortmund were down 2-1 and were close to their second loss in a row.
He turned down Florian Grillitsch with the obvious after a gift package of a pass from Sebastian Rudy and struck the ball in characteristic fashion behind Hoffenheim’s Oliver Baumann.
– Yes, I just have to breathe a little. It was a good goal, Haaland tells VSport, but is not asked how he experienced the fight after scoring.
Hoffenheim had a chance to play the ball, but rather passed it to Haaland. Therefore, the coach of the visiting team, Alexander Rosen, calls the incident “completely fair”.
– The first reaction was “why don’t they play the ball?” But we keep playing ourselves, I must be so fair, we cannot blame our opponents for that, says the former Follo player according to Bild.
Hoffenheim coach Sebastian Hoeness also sees no reason to accuse the Norwegian of mistakes. Midfielder Grillitsch puts it this way:
– Of course, the Dortmund players say that we should play the ball out of play. And then it’s clear that Haaland doesn’t play it.

Dortmund crisis
The goal could hardly have come at a better time for a Dortmund side in serious danger of standing on the platform while the Champions League train was underway. Without a win, it would have been a total of six points until Wolfburg, who have played one game less.
Hoffenheim forwards Munas Dabbur and Ihlas Bebou did their part to make the seat even warmer under still fresh Dortmund coach Edin Terzic. 15 points in ten league games is the result of the inexperienced Terzic.
Mats Hummels and Manuel Akanji committed the greatest sin of omission by being completely passive on the field after the corner kick that for a long time seemed to make Bebou the winner of the match.
Dabbur, for his part, rolled the ball into goal to equalize after half an hour of play in the first half.

However, the scoreboard was not without controversy.
At the opposite end, Dortmund’s young Englishman, Jude Bellingham, made his way into the penalty area and with Erling Braut Haaland speeding towards the open goal. The Norwegian then received a chunk from Kevin Vogt around the waist, was brought down and lost any chance to get into scoring position.
Hoffenheim countered the 1-1 goal shortly after. Braut Haaland was clearly unhappy with referee Bastian Dankert and scolded the German referee on his way to the locker room when the break signal was fired.
– It’s a clear free kick, in good position. I don’t know why it didn’t blow. It’s a clear free kick. I don’t understand why it doesn’t break down, Haaland tells VSport.
Before the draw, Jadon Sancho had countered on Dortmund’s first goal after a beautiful move by his teammate on the left wing, Raphael Guerreiro.
Thus, Dortmund saved a draw in a highly pressured situation.
– It was tough because we started the game well. We created good chances and we should have scored in the first half. In the end, we are not happy with the effort and the point, says Edin Terzic, CEO of BVB.
