This weekend, many European competitions awaken from their hibernation, including the Bundesliga. On Saturday, the focus was primarily on leaders Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund, who started the second half of the season with a trip to Darmstadt.
There was still no sign of Julien Duranville in Dortmund, but Thomas Meunier appeared again at kick-off. Our experienced compatriot was preferred as right-back over Morey and Wolf and was allowed to stay throughout the game. In this way he contributed to an easy victory.
Instant assist for Sancho
After all, Dortmund won 0-3 in Darmstadt. Brandt scored the opening goal midway through the first half and after the break Dortmund further extended their lead thanks to his substitutes. Ten minutes into the second half, Edin Terzic granted Jadon Sancho his return after the Englishman returned on loan from Manchester United earlier this week.
For the winger it was a comeback in his style. He had been on the field for around 20 minutes when he was cleverly guided through the defense on his right flank. He played a perfect pass to Reus, who was also substitute, who was able to shoot the ball into the goal from close range. An immediate assist for Sancho.
Dortmund can finally win again
In stoppage time, Moukoko, who was also a substitute, put the icing on the cake with a 3-0 lead. The victory will be a relief for Dortmund as it ends a run of six competitive games without a win. Their last win was against AC Milan on November 28th.
They remain in fifth place in the overall standings, but are moving a little closer to the top four – important for the Champions League. The gap to RB Leipzig is still three points. The gap to leaders Leverkusen is still fifteen points.
