Más allá de los 6 puntos de desventaja que tiene cuando se han disputado 16 jornadas de la Bundesliga, el Borussia Dortmund está ostensiblemente lejos del Bayern Múnich en cuanto a sensaciones se refiere. El conjunto dirigido por Marco Rose venció este miércoles, sí, pero lo hizo con más apuros de lo que anuncia el marcador al imponerse al colista Greuther Furth (3-0) gracias a dos chispazos de (¿quién si no?) Erling Haaland y un tercer tanto de Donyell Malen.
Muestra del pobre rendimiento ofrecido por el cuadro 'borusser' en este duelo es el hecho de que el público del Signal Iduna Park pitase a los suyos en algunos momentos de la segunda mitad. Fue todavía con 1-0 en el luminoso, cuando más apretaba el Greuther Furth, que bien mereció el empate en más de una ocasión de gol de las que dispuso.
Antes, en el primer acto, había llegado el gol con el que el Dortmund se puso por delante en el marcador. Concretamente, fue en el 33', cuando Erling Haaland, que había fabricado la jugada que llevó al árbitro a señalar el punto fatídico, no falló desde los once metros al marcar con una tranquilidad asombrosa. Lleva el gol en la sangre, y por ello volvió a aparecer de nuevo en el 82' para cabecear a la red un servicio de Julian Brandt al área. No fue el mejor partido de la carrera de Haaland, pero aún así marcó dos goles para que su equipo ganase.
Al filo del pitido final llegó un tercer tanto, obra de Malen (89'), propiciando un tanteo engañoso, y aunque sin brillo y con su público poco entusiasmado por lo que presenció el Borussia Dortmund logró retener los tres puntos. Pero cabe destacar que necesita mejorar, y mucho, si de veras quiere poner en aprietos a un Bayern Múnich que, como se vio el martes ante el Stuttgart (0-5) gana con mucha más solvencia que el cuadro 'borusser'.
En cuanto al resto de encuentros de la Bundesliga disputados este miércoles, el Eintracht Frankfurt venció a domicilio ante el Gladbach (2-3), el Leipzig no logró pasar del empate a domicilio frente al Augsburgo (1-1), y también se firmaron tablas tanto en el Bayer Leverkusen-Hoffenhem (2-2) como en el Union Berlin-Friburgo.
