Dortmund

Borussia Dortmund were held to a 2-2 draw by local rivals Schalke to fall two points behind Bayern Munich at the Bundesliga summit.

Frey gets in on the right and squares expertly for Bulter, who taps home before colliding with a camera. A draw is not the worst result given this context, but having twice led it will feel like a loss and the Dortmund players' body language at the end confirmed as much. Schlotterbeck is given time on the ball, with Yoshida reluctant to press outside of his own box, and the Dortmund defender unleashes a low, left-footed strike which Fahrmann cannot keep out. A response is needed next weekend in what will be Dortmund's only game before a crunch meeting with Bayern after the international break. Coming off their first defeat of 2023, in contentious circumstances, Dortmund had injuries in attacking areas piling up and met a rejuvenated Schalke who did not know when they were beaten. What a waste.

ESPN pitch side reporter Archie Rhind-Tutt probed Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl for an answer to this very question during his pre-match interview.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Both Brandt and Marco Reus were out of action due to injury, but Dortmund boss Edin Terzic has once again left Reyna on the bench. Reyna was once again named among the substitutes for Dortmund's Bundesliga clash with Schalke, having started just once since the return of club soccer after the World Cup.

“In the past weeks there has been talk about how far the team is or if it is ready for the league title and we kept saying we have to remain humble.
