No Bayern, no easy win. After hammering the current Bundesliga champion 5-0 in the DFB Cup, the Foals were expected to keep the same level of aggression, desire and precision in a duel with the Bundesliga newcomers Bochum, but that never happened. Yes, Borussia did won 2-1, but they decided to stick with the same approach since the start of the season: not good enough, leaky in defense, missing chances, not ‘killing of’ the games. Everything apart from leaky defense happened tonight, but the Foals did win, and moved to only 10th place in the table. ‘Haaland and Lewandowski in the same team? That’s nonsense!’Alassane Plea. The 3 billion Ksh signing from Nice never lived up to his expectations as the most expensive signing in Borussia’s history, but tonight he was the man of the match, as the former France U21 international scored the first and assisted for the second Borussia goal. Coach Hutter made only one change in the team which won against Bayern. Since Beyer was injured, he decided to put Plea in and change the formation, so the Foals played with four players at the back in a 4-2-3-1 set up, with the Frenchman playing on left wing, instead of his not yet recovered countrymen Thuram.Jonas Hofmann and Alassane Plea inspired @Borussia_EN to a hard-fought #Bundesliga win in #BMGBOC! 🐎👏All the highlights 👇🍿 pic.twitter.com/Hmj8NHxRB1— Bundesliga English (@Bundesliga_EN) October 31, 2021 After only 12 minutes, Scully made a beautiful cross and Plea was just between two Bochum defenders, but jumped higher and scored.
