Dortmund’s poor run continues with draw at Augsburg
 

Despite topping their Champions League group, which featured teams such as Paris Saint-Germain, AC Milan, and Newcastle, Borussia Dortmund has encountered a rough patch in the league, managing only one win in seven games since October. Presently, they find themselves trailing the league leaders, Bayer Leverkusen, by a substantial ten points. The setback occurred when Ermedin Demirovic scored for Augsburg, with the goal undergoing VAR scrutiny following an appeal for a foul from the Dortmund side. Responding to this, Donyell Malen netted a goal for Dortmund, courtesy of a clever backheeled pass from Niclas Fuellkrug. However, Julian Brandt missed a late opportunity, resulting in a draw. Union Berlin, fresh from their Champions League journey ending against Real Madrid, suffered a 3-0 defeat to Bochum. Wolfsburg, despite being reduced to ten men early on, secured a 1-0 win against Darmstadt, with Lovro Majer scoring the lone goal. Maxence Lacroix's red card marked his fifth dismissal in less than 100 games for Wolfsburg, making him the player with the most red cards for the team. In another fixture, promoted Heidenheim clinched a 1-0 victory against Mainz, leaving the struggling hosts in the bottom two. The upcoming Sunday fixtures involve the top four teams, including Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen, facing off against Stuttgart and Frankfurt, respectively.
