Borussia Dortmund experienced their first defeat of the season in the Bundesliga, losing 0-2 to Mönchengladbach. Despite the inclusion of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the starting lineup, the Gabonese striker, who was also unable to make an impact against Marseille in the Champions League on Tuesday, couldn’t change the course of the match.
Mönchengladbach dominated the game, despite numerous opportunities for Borussia Dortmund. The visitors conceded late in the match, with Kruse scoring from the penalty spot in the 81st minute, followed by Raffael adding to the score.
This defeat puts Borussia Dortmund’s top spot in the Bundesliga at risk, as Bayern Munich could overtake them if they win against Bayer Leverkusen later in the day.
