😳 Title race over? Leipzig tear apart Dortmund’s patched-up defence | OneFootball

Long faces at Borussia Dortmund. Against RB Leipzig, nothing is coming together so far, and after one half in the Bundesliga top match, the title race seems decided.

The Saxons lead 2-0. Twice they exploited coordination errors on Dortmund's left defense side. After strong crosses from Yan Diomande and David Raum, top scorer Christoph Baumgartner only had to push the ball over the line each time (20th, 40th minute). 

The Black and Yellows, who among others have to do without regular defender Nico Schlotterbeck, achieved little to nothing going forward. 

As it stands, Dortmund is again nine points behind Bayern, who defeated Eintracht Frankfurt 3-2 in the afternoon. Is there still a chance? 

In the 50th minute, BVB shortened the gap after an own goal by Romulo.
