Dortmund Rue Missed Chances in Devastating Defeat to Leipzig | OneFootball

After a week of mixed results, Borussia Dortmund faced RB Leipzig in an important away game needing a win. Heading into the match, BVB's lineup was unchanged from the midweek match, while Leipzig came in today with a poor form of only one win in their previous nine attempts.

The Black and Yellows frustrated their fans with a tale of two halves performance. A back-and-forth first few minutes ended in 1-0 in Leipzig’s favor, with the Bulls imposing their game at home and hitting the post twice. After going down 2-0 due to some poor set-piece defending following halftime, Dortmund turned into vengeance mode. Many chances were created, and Dortmund dominated possession, as a comeback seemed attainable until chance after chance was missed. The team created as well as they have all year, but the finishing did not match.

The game ended with Dortmund having the share of possession: 66%, according to Fotmob. The squad finished the game with 25 shots — 10 more than the opponents. A final expected goal tally of 3.11 is what the players and fans will be looking at to remember this game: is it due to missed chances or good goalkeeping? Either way, Dortmund fans everywhere must be disappointed after this game. Here are the player ratings for BVB's 2-nil defeat to Leipzig:
