Dortmund 2-1 Hertha
Hertha began on the front foot at the Signal Iduna Park, their attention sharpened by the
looming prospect of relegation. They pinned the host team back with their intense pressing
and tackling boldness. While they struggled to create any chances in front of a sell-out
crowd, Ishak Belfodil was felled in the box by Dan-Axel Zagadou, one of a number of players
wearing the Dortmund shirt for the final time. When referee Tobias Stieler pointed to the
spot, Belfodil’s perfect shot into the bottom corner gave Roman Bürki no chance.
The hosts improved as the half progressed, but despite having 72 percent possession, they
only managed two shots on target in the first 45 minutes, neither of which troubled Hertha goalkeeper Marcel Lotka.
The hosts introduced Jamie Bynoe-Gittens for the second half, and the 17-year-old proved instrumental in his team’s comeback. His daring drives put Hertha on the back foot, and one of his dribbles set up Dortmund’s equalizer. Vladimir Darida fouled Jude Bellingham as a result of his frantic pace on the edge of the box.
