BERLIN, May 11-- Borussia Dortmund keeps the title race alive after beating newly promoted Fortuna Dusseldorf 3-2 whereas Bayern Munich shared the spoils with third placed Leipzig following a goalless draw at the 33rd round in Bundesliga on Saturday. The "BVB" won their last game on home soil this season as they overpowered resilient Dusseldorf on the goals from Christian Pulisic, Thomas Delaney and Mario Goetze. Both sides staged a lively opening period with chances at each end of the pitch as Dodi Lukebakio and Christian Pulisic created the first clear-cut opportunities of the game. Dusseldorf thought they had opened the scoring in the 19th minute when Lukebakio danced through Dortmund's defence to slot home. However, it was ruled offside. The opener was scored at the other end of the pitch when Delaney's header allowed Christian Pulisic, who will leave the club this summer, to nod home from close range in the 41st minute. Dusseldorf caught a bright start into the second half and were able to level the scores in the 47th minute when Markus Suttner's cross found Oliver Fink, whose header slipped through Marwin Hitz hands. The hosts responded with furious attacks and got rewarded moments later as Delaney slotted home Goetze's assist on 53 minutes. Dusseldorf had the chance to restore parity once again but Lukebakio squandered a foul-play penalty in the 59th minute. Adam Bodzek weakened his side in the closing period after receiving his marching orders for a rude foul-play to substitute Jadon Sancho in the 82nd minute. |
