BVB will be celebrating as they bring home three points from St. James? Park in a historic win I just watched it, you just watched it and the world just watched it. Borussia Dortmund traveled to Newcastle and defeated them 1-0. The match was nervy from the start as fans were informed of Julian Brandt?s muscular injury, and Julian Ryerson?s illness. (Not the Julians!) The first ten minutes of this match were so wide-open that it could have easily been 2-2 by the fifteenth. Toward the end of the first half, Emre Can appeared to have picked up a knee injury but insisted on playing until Salih Özcan was ready to enter the pitch. That shows some character from our new Captain. A couple of minutes later, Nico Schlotterbeck displayed a masterclass in defense-to-offensive play, setting up Felix Nmecha?s goal. Not only was this Nmecha?s first goal for Dortmund, it was also Dortmund?s first goal in this Champion?s League campaign. The second half was a mature, defensive performance that BVB should be proud of. (Even if the dying embers had my heart racing) This win moves Dortmund into a favorable position within the UCL group, with two of the final three group-stage matches to be played at home.
