Despite a very bad performance, Borussia Dortmund have already resolved their ticket for round six on the fifth day of the group stage of the Champions League. The BVB failed to beat FC Brugge 0-0 and thus lost the good starting point against the group's victory.
The BVB coach, Favre, demoted the press and changed his starting lineup to five places from the 2-1 win over Mainz 05: Diallo, Dahoud, Pulisic, Guerreiro and Paco Alcacer took the place from Hakimi, Delaney, Sancho, Bruun Larsen. and idol.
The Dortmund performed well 4-2-3-1 against well-organized Belgians who took the BVB with eleven men at half the pace. The leaders of the Bundesliga stood the test of patience in the episode, barely took the risk and found both the outside and the center on Alcacer barely the depth necessary in the match.
So Pulisics' great luck remained after a powerful ball from Akanji topped Reus the first and only major long opportunity in the game (10). The unimportant blow took more than 20 minutes before BVB appeared again dangerous for Horvarth, the keeper of Brugge, but one hundred percent missed by Reus was more of a coincidence than an opportunity to play (32 & # 39; ).
After the break, BVB played better live and combined in the first ten minutes twice the trouble to see Reus, Alcacer and Guerreiro in the sixteenth of the Belgians. After a little less than an hour, BVB fell back into his habit and rarely missed his skills. It was rather the Belgians who failed to take the lead after a catastrophic failure of the replacement Sancho (74th).
Favre brought Hakimi and Sancho fresh blood for the left wing again, but his changes did not bear fruit. The goalless draw is still enough for BVB to progress. After the weak performance of the group's victory, however, has pbaded in the distant future.
