In the Champions League last week against Chelsea in the eighth finals was the last stop. In the Bundesliga they had to settle for a draw in the derby against Schalke, which was threatened with relegation. In short: it seemed as if the machinery at Borussia Dortmund, which had oiled so well since the turn of the year, was slowly faltering.
BVB made it clear on Saturday in the early stages of the game with 1. FC Köln that appearances can be deceiving. It takes fifteen minutes for the hosts to convert their overwhelming dominance into a goal. Raphaël Guerreiro can maneuver the ball into the goal from a tight angle.
The people of Cologne can hardly resist the attack of the Dortmund. In the 36th minute, the guests were four goals behind. The 1:4 shortly before the break by Selke? Nothing more than result cosmetics.
Cologne stumbles into the relegation battle
Even after the change of half, Borussia, who again played without the injured Gregor Kobel, continued to show off. Haller and Reus, each with their second goal of the game, turned the defeat in Cologne into a straight blow. Final result: 6:1.
Thanks to the win, BVB will be in the lead again at least until Sunday. For the residents of Cologne, on the other hand, the situation is becoming increasingly uncomfortable. After the World Cup break, coach Steffen Baumgart’s team made an impressive start with a 7-1 win against Bremen and a 1-1 draw against Bayern. Since then, there have been five bankruptcies in eight games. The lead over the relegation place has melted to six points. (cat)
