Borussia Dortmund went into the match against Mainz 05 with the decision in their hands. They were two points ahead of Bayern Munich before the final round of matches and a win would have ensured the Ruhr side's title. But shortly after the kick-off whistle blew, a series of unpleasant developments continued to occur for Borussia Dortmund.
In the 15th minute, Andreas Olsen delighted tens of thousands of fans at Signal Iduna Park when he beat Kobel to give Mainz 05 the lead. It was even more disappointing for Borussia Dortmund when Haller missed a penalty a few minutes later. At the same time, away from home, Bayern Munich took the lead against Cologne thanks to Coman's strike.
Borussia Dortmund played disappointingly.
In the 24th minute, Lee Jae-Sung crossed the ball accurately for Onisiwo to head the ball to increase the score to 2-0. At this time, Borussia Dortmund was under more pressure and the black and yellow players' legs were like lead. They had a terrible first half without scoring an equalizer. In the second half, coach Edin Terzic made a series of adjustments to increase the home team's attacking power.
But there was no goal and Borussia Dortmund's defense still lacked concentration. If they had been more careful in their finishing, Mainz 05 could have raised the score to 3-0. It was not until the 69th minute that hope was rekindled for Borussia Dortmund when Raphael finished with a tricky shot to reduce the score to 1-2.
Minutes later, a surprise happened at the Rhein Energie Stadium when Cologne scored an equalizer from a penalty. But Borussia Dortmund were not good enough to score another goal. Meanwhile, Bayern Munich scored another goal and the match ended with a score of 2-1.
It was not until the 5th minute of injury time that Borussia Dortmund equalized 2-2 thanks to Sule's classy handling of the ball. However, the 2-2 result meant that Borussia Dortmund only won the runner-up position, with the same points as Bayern Munich but inferior in the secondary index.
Bayern Munich won the 2022/2023 Bundesliga season, the 11th consecutive German championship for the Bavarian Tigers.
