Being held to a draw in the first half didn't make Dortmund lose their way and they managed to win the match against Bochum with a landslide score of 3-1. As hosts, Dortmund certainly cannot embarrass their fans and therefore they must win with an additional 3 points. If we look at the statistics, Dortmund completely controlled the game with 63% ball possession and 6 shots on target. The result of the shots on target resulted in a hat trick for Fullkrug and he was the best player in this match.
Bochum was only lucky when they got one goal from Dortmund defender Schlotterbeck's suicide and the rest Bochum was unable to do anything. These additional 3 points are very special for Dortmund because they can return to the top 4 and Leipzig's previous defeat made them move freely to this position.
The performance from dortmund in this game was not that good, dortmund was only creating 1 open play goal and two from penalties. We have seen that how penalty was really helpful to the club but at least we have been securing three points from bochum even though dortmund was struggling to beat it.
Dortmund players had many chances, but they were not performing so well. Unacceptable result to conceded 1 goal against dortmund. The club is now performing even better than before, but dortmund needs to make a lot of improvements on its defenders. The current composition is not good enough.
It is evident from the number of times Dortmund missed opportunities and how they can be converted into goals. We should appreciate Dortmund for their hard work in battling against Bochum. It must be an easy match for dortmund but the club was feeling so hard to beat it.
No doubt that if bochum can still exist in the bundesliga till this time. The match against dortmund had proven that bochim was strong enough to stay in the bundesliga.
Bochum is still out from the relegation zone but it doesn't mean this club was save. Dortmund can co back again to the bottom if it keeps perform inconsistently like this. congratulation for dortmund.
