Dortmund draw with Mainz, Bayern win title
2023-05-28 11:09Borussia Dortmund forfeited a chance at the Bundesliga title with a 2-2 draw with Mainz in their final game , while handing yet another trophy to Bayern.
Borussia Dortmund have the chance to win the title in the final week, as long as they have a better result than Bayern, they can win the title. However, as news of Kingsley Coman's goal spread at Signal Iduna Park, Dortmund were sacked by Andreas Hanche-Olsen in the 15th minute.
Moments later, though, Dortmund also had a chance as a foul in the box was ruled a penalty. Sebastian Haller's penalty was saved, leaving Dortmund 1-0 down. Karim Onisiwo made it 2-0 in the 24th minute and sent the stadium into a panic.
Rafael Guerrero's goal brought the score back to 2-1 and Dortmund's hopes were revived on news of Bayern's conceded goal, but Jamal Musiala's strike in Cologne completely Doomed Dortmund's fate. The title inevitably slipped away and the game ended in a draw, despite a goal from Niklas Süle creating chaos in stoppage time.
While Dortmund kept pushing forward to try and keep their title hopes alive, Mainz 's tight-lipped backline basically dealt with everything their opponents threatened. Their defense was excellent and Olsen was the man of the match with his opening goal.
For Dortmund, U.S. men's national team star Giovanni Reyna was the standout player, changing the tide of the game after coming off the bench in the second half. His dynamism and creativity lifted Dortmund's level almost immediately, and he was particularly good in assisting Guerrero's goal.
After yet another runner-up finish, Dortmund will continue to work hard next season, as they have for the past decade. Before that, however, they travel to the United States for pre-season games against Chelsea and Manchester United.
