Before the final round of the Bundesliga, Borussia Dortmund decided their chance to win the championship if they beat Mainz 05 at home at Signal Iduna Park. However, coach Edin Terzic's team put themselves in a difficult position when playing under too much pressure.
Borussia Dortmund (right) only have themselves to blame for playing under too much pressure despite the huge support from the home crowd at Signal Iduna Park.
Borussia Dortmund wanted to clear their chances so they attacked early on. But this was their fatal flaw, with the defense playing loosely and making many mistakes. In the 15th minute, from a corner kick, Mainz 05 took a 1-0 lead thanks to a goal by Hanche-Olsen. 4 minutes after conceding the goal, Borussia Dortmund quickly had a chance to equalize with a penalty, but striker Sebastian Haller missed.
Borussia Dortmund were immediately punished for missing the opportunity. This time, Onisiwo increased the score to 2-0 in the 24th minute after a beautiful counter-attack from an assist by Korean player, Lee Jae-sung.
Borussia Dortmund players are a huge disappointment
Conceding two shocking goals, at the same time Bayern Munich also led FC Koln 1-0 thanks to Coman's goal in the 8th minute, causing Borussia Dortmund to fall into chaos.
It was not until the second half that coach Edin Terzic's changes, such as bringing in star players Marco Reus, Moukoko and Reyna, did their best to salvage the situation. However, Borussia Dortmund's efforts only helped them narrow the score to 1-2 in the 69th minute, scored by Guerreiro. At the same time, the championship opportunity was rekindled near the end of the match when Bayern Munich unexpectedly let FC Koln equalize 1-1.
