German superteam Borussia Dortmund lost 0-2 in a match against Stuttgart. This is a meeting in the third stage of the German Cup, with Borussia Dortmund travelling to Stuttgart, which is also their home stadium. While Borussia Dortmund have a good run in the Champions League, they have a poor record in the Premier League, with only 25th place at the moment, a long way behind first-placed Bayer Leverkusen. Borussia Dortmund are keen to qualify for next season's Champions League, but this time they have their sights set on the German Cup.
Borussia Dortmund played a 343 lineup on the field, with Gitens, Moukoko, Adeyemi forming an attacking triangle. In the middle, Ryerson, Sabitzer, Ozcan and Wolf also played. On the back line were Schlotterbeck, Hummels, Emre Can and Kerber.
Borussia Dortmund put a lot of pressure on the opposition from the start. Girassie's long-range shot, Sabitzer's goal and Duff's overhead ball were all blocked. Borussia Dortmund made some changes in the second half, but it was Stuttgart who scored first. In the 53rd minute, Girassie scored a goal with a low kick from the home side. Although Gitens scored, he was disqualified for offside. Stuttgart scored again in the 77th minute when Mvupa slotted home to win the game.
Borussia Dortmund have never had a chance to change things after 11 goals, with none of their 11 goals on the pitch. Borussia Dortmund were kicked out of the game with a score of 2-0. When Stuttgart went out of his way to win the German Cup, the defeat was much to the frustration of Dortmund's supporters.
