👏 Of all people! Two former Dortmund players sink BVB | OneFootball

When a footballer scores against his former club, it's always something very special – particularly emotional for the player and particularly painful for the former club! 

It becomes doubly painful when the player who provided the assist also has a history with the club. One might wonder why these guys were ever trained in the first place.

BVB is currently experiencing a similar emotional turmoil. The Kovač protégés find themselves trailing 0:1 early in the DFB-Pokal match against Eintracht Frankfurt, primarily thanks to their former players.

Because: A simple play between Mario Götze, who spent a total of 16 years at BVB, and Ansgar Knauff, who played in the youth team for six years at BVB, made the Westphalian defense look quite old in the seventh minute.

A goal made in Dortmund. But also against Dortmund. Speaking of Dortmund: Julian Brandt equalized shortly after the break to make it 1:1. Let's see if Götze and company can find another answer. We are currently in extra time.
