Borussia Dortmund Suffers Third Consecutive Defeat in the Bundesliga
Frankfurt, Beritasatu.com – The Borussia Dortmund club suffered another defeat after being defeated by Eintracht Frankfurt with a score of 2-0 in the German League (Bundesliga) match, which was held on Saturday (18/1/2025) early morning WIB. This defeat was the third in a row for the club from the Ruhr Valley, worsening the situation amidst the crisis that hit the team.
Borussia Dortmund’s losing result put even more pressure on coach Nuri Sahin, even though he still has support from club management. This defeat occurred just a few days after Borussia Dortmund lost to the bottom team, Holstein Kiel, in another event.
At the start of the match, Borussia Dortmund actually had a golden opportunity through Serhou Guirassy’s header in the ninth minute, but the ball hit the goal post. This wasted opportunity was immediately exploited by Eintracht. Nine minutes later, Hugo Ekitike managed to score the opener after starting and completing a sharp counter-attack.
Eintracht almost doubled their lead in the 22nd minute through Ansgar Knauff’s curling shot, but the ball hit the post again. Even without mainstay striker Omar Marmoush, Eintracht still appeared solid and continued to put pressure on Dortmund’s defense.
After the match, speculation about Marmoush’s transfer intensified. The club has confirmed there are talks with other clubs, and Manchester City are reportedly strong candidates for the Egyptian striker’s signature.
On the other hand, Borussia Dortmund tried to recover in the second half by continuing to pressure their opponents. However, their chances were not converted into goals. Serhou Guirassy asked for a penalty twice, but the referee actually gave him a yellow card because he was considered to be simulating.
In the final minutes, Oscar Hojlund ensured Eintracht’s victory with a second goal scored through a quick counter-attack. This defeat meant that Borussia Dortmund had to settle for being in 10th place in the standings with 25 points. Meanwhile, Eintracht rose to third place with 36 points, only two points behind Bayer Leverkusen who is in second place.
After the match, Borussia Dortmund midfielder, Pascal Gross, expressed his disappointment. “In the end, football is about results. Even though our performance in the second half was good, it was not enough. We have to make performances like this the standard in order to win,” he said.
This defeat was a major blow for Borussia Dortmund, who will face Bologna in the Champions League on Tuesday (21/1/2025). The team coached by Nuri Sahin must immediately recover if they want to maintain their chances in European competition.
