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.
At least they finally got things right in the second half of the game as they have seen themselves flourishing excellently at home this season, do they need more explanation to see that they be one of the very best at home?
Right after the Penalty from the three goalscorer today, Sabitzer had a fine chance of scoring with his freekick but that was save beautifully by that goalkeeper.
Some levels of no communication saw the opposite side scoring a goal to equalize that first goal but that didn't halt them performance from running them enough damage to show who's Boss!!! Anyways I love the second goal scored he tracked that ball well like he was a hunter.
Dortmund have proven enough that they have done their job well and after what they experienced at the start of the season they are finally where they should be in the standings. Maybe there is not much they can do and the most important thing is to get good results towards the end of this season which is what they are targeting at the moment. It was a very good free kick from Sabitzer but the save from the opposing goalkeeper was equally good.
The importance of offensive awareness in a striker and through this second goal, Fullkrug proved that Dortmund was not wrong in recruiting him last summer. He has become the focus of the attack line at the moment considering that Sebastien Haller is still absent from AFCON to strengthen Ivory Coast and it is possible that Sebastien Haller will return to Dortmund after the competition is over.
