Dortmund missed out on the Bundesliga title for its people

Dortmund started the game as the leader. It ended like that before ten minutes had passed, when Bayern took the lead in Cologne on the scoreboard.

Despite everything, Dortmund was on its own. A win guaranteed the title.

From the start of the game, a certain nervousness was noticed in Dortmund, who seemed more concerned about not making mistakes and patiently trying to organize their attacks to avoid losing possession.

But it was Mainz who scored first with a header from Andreas Hanshe-Olsen in a corner kick to the near post in the 15th minute.

It was Mainz’s first shot on target. Dortmund needed two goals if the score held in Cologne. The first came close, in the 19th minute, after a penalty for a foul by Dominique Kohr on Rafael Guerreiro, but goalkeeper Finn Dahmels parried Sebastien Haller’s shot.

There were later angry protests from Dortmund over another alleged penalty, from Aaron against Guerreiro.

Nervousness increased in the local team and in minute 24 things got worse for Dortmund then Karim Onisivo he made it 0–2 with a header from a cross from the left from Jae-Sung Lee.

Mainz pulled back after the second goal and Dortmund bombarded the penalty area with crosses, but most of them were unsuccessful.

Shortly before the end of the first half there were a few scoring opportunities, Mats Hummels and Donnyel Malen.

Early in the second half, Dortmund goalkeeper Gregor Kobel prevented the third by parrying Lee’s scoreless shot on a counter-attack.

Dortmund insisted. Mainz defended and counterattacked. In the 59th minute, Dortmund came close to closing the gap when Haller missed by millimeters after a great cross from the left. Youssufa Moukoko.
