Undav stuns Dortmund – BVB let victory slip away | OneFootball

The top match lived up to its promise. Borussia Dortmund and VfB Stuttgart parted ways after a dramatic 90 minutes with a 3:3 (2:0) draw. Undav scored a hat-trick for the Swabians (47', 71', 90+1'). For BVB, Can scored from the penalty spot (34'), Beier (41'), and Adeyemi (89').

Compared to the 1:1 at Hamburger SV, there were two changes in BVB's starting eleven: Brandt and Nmecha started in place of Groß and Svensson.

Stuttgart started quite boldly, immediately going on the offensive. Dortmund initially found themselves pushed back into their own half. In attack, the Black and Yellows were rather unimaginative, repeatedly sending high balls into the center.

It wasn't until after half an hour that Borussia started to come on stronger. That quickly paid off with the lead. After a cross from Ryerson, Schlotterbeck fell in the opponent's penalty area in a duel with Undav. The referee pointed to the spot. Can didn't let the chance slip and slotted the ball past Nübel into the bottom left corner for 1:0 to BVB (34').

The Swabians were not shocked and got a good shooting opportunity through Tomás. But the ball ended up with Kobel (37').

Shortly before the halftime whistle, the hosts increased the lead to 2:0. Guirassy's left-footed shot was still saved by Nübel. Beier pushed the rebound over the line from a few meters out (41').

Adeyemi scores, Undav answers

Just like in the first half, Stuttgart started the second half bravely. The difference: this time they scored—and how! With his back to goal, Undav curled the ball over Kobel into the net to make it 2:1 (47').

After just 54 minutes, it seemed the old gap was restored. Guirassy powered through and slotted the ball into the bottom left corner. But a review revealed an offside position.

VfB kept up the pressure. And once again, it was Undav who shocked the Black and Yellows. A corner from Stiller was flicked on by Mittelstädt with his head. Undav was there and equalized to make it 2:2 (71').

BVB had to shake themselves off, but recovered. Both teams were not content with the draw and looked to push forward.

Adeyemi was initially denied by Nübel (83'), but after a pass from Beier he kept his cool in a central position and slotted home to make it 3:2 (89'). But the victory slipped from Borussia's hands—and once again, it was Undav. The Stuttgart striker turned around Schlotterbeck and shocked the Westphalians with a late 3:3 (90+1').

Conclusion: Stuttgart started bravely and dominated the opening phase. Dortmund needed almost half an hour to find their way into the game. BVB proved themselves—once again this season—to be extremely efficient, making the most of their few chances to take the lead. After the restart, VfB rewarded themselves with a deserved equalizer. In stoppage time, it seemed Borussia had the win in their hands. But Undav rewarded his team late. The result is fair over the 90 minutes.
