Who would have thought that Borussia would be humiliated at home to Bayer Leverkusen 5-2 last week? Who would have thought that Borussia would recover so quickly a week after and win in Berlin against tricky Union and keep a clean sheet for the first time in two months? Well, that’s the beauty of football. The Millionaires did just that mainly due to their captain Marco Reus, who scored a brace while Raphael Guerreiro put the game beyond doubt in the 71st minute: Union Berlin – Borussia 0-3. 25 – Borussia Dortmund’s Marco Reus has scored his earliest brace away from home in the #Bundesliga (after 25 minutes), with his only earlier one coming at home to Frankfurt back in 2013 (after nine minutes). Brace. #FCUBVB pic.twitter.com/gwLPGq0Ip1— OptaFranz (@OptaFranz) February 13, 2022 Coach Marco Rose managed to prevent the total collapse of his team after a not at all pleasant 2:5 at Westphalia. He replaced Meunier with Akanji, while the introduction of Witsel in the midfield gave the stability that the Millionaires lacked last week. The rest of the team remained unchanged, but the result was more than obvious. The match was marked by Marco Reus. Dortmund’s living legend and fan favorite was honored today with two goals, which brought him to level 151 and became only the fourth football player in the club’s history with such success. His goals after the assists from Dahoud and Malen in just a few minutes gave a clear tone to the game and directed Dortmund towards an important victory that, at least in theory, keeps him in the championship race after Bayern’s embarrassment in Bochum yesterday.Os 2 gols de Marco Reus no primeiro tempo do duelo entre Borussia Dortmund e Union Berlim. pic.twitter.com/8oi0aplKpZ— reus, the team 🇧🇷 (@reustheteam) February 13, 2022 The match was open even after Reus’ goals, and there were chances on both sides. However, the guests were the ones who rejoiced again. This time the scorer was Rafael Guerreiro, and he played in the 71st minute. Shortly after his goal, the host managed to hit the target behind Kobel, VAR determined that Mohvald fouled Akanji and the goal was nullified. The display and the result will certainly please coach Rose ahead of the Europe League knockout tie with Rangers.
