Just a day ago, Borussia coach Edin Terzić won the off the field battle in Dortmund headquarters. BVB supremo Hans-Joachim Watzke showed a complete and utter support to the coach by sacking sporting director Sebastian Kehl’s right-hand man Slaven Stanic. He was caught criticizing Terzić at Borussia executive box and paid the price, even thou he didn’t put the team and even arrived quite late to participate in the transfer window. This was a clear message to all that Edin Terzić has the complete support from the club’s CEO. And the young tactician ‘repaid’ Watzke’s trust by crashing out of the German cup. Stuttgart defeated Borussia two times in the space of one month, and both times it was fantastic Serhou Guirassy who brought down the Millionaires.GOAL – Serhou Guirassy Stuttgart 1-0 Dortmundpic.twitter.com/a9L6z5VrXH— e360hubs football (@e360hub2) December 6, 2023 The Guinea international is having a monster season with 16 goals in 11 Bundesliga games, with a couple more in the Cup and he added another one tonight in a 2-0 win. His African colleague Silas Katompa Mvumpa added the second goal to toss Borussia out of the cup and bring more misery to the guests, who are already out of the Bundesliga race (and it’s not even January) and will fight with Stuttgart and Leipzig for the third and fourth spot. Their only success so far is the Champions League play, as they are first in the group of ‘death’, ahead of PSG, Newcastle and Milan.GOAL – Silas MvumpaStuttgart 2-0 Dortmundpic.twitter.com/FWeIxBJjU8 #DFBPokal— e360hubs football (@e360hub2) December 6, 2023 Guirassy is averaging a goal every 51 minutes in 2023/24 and tonight he scored after 54 minutes to give Stuttgart a well deserved lead. The home team has been better in all aspect of the game had 24 shots on goal and controlled possession. Terzić decided to leave out two best players, Fullkrug and Julian Brandt (six goals, six assists), but even when they were introduced, they failed to make any impression. VFB have won two and lost three of their previous cup meetings with Dortmund, and continued this small tradition against this big team. The only thing Dortmund did right in this game was Sabitzer’s bar in the 21st minute and Bynoe-Gittens goal, which was ruled out due to offside.DFB POKAL – GERMAN CUP1/8 FINALSTuesdayB.
