Dortmund Falls Again Pressure Mounts on Coach

Borussia Dortmund faced a disappointing 4-2 defeat against promoted Holstein Kiel on Tuesday, intensifying scrutiny on coach Nuri Sahin as the team endures its worst start to a Bundesliga season in a decade. The match saw Dortmund concede three goals in the first half, leaving them in a significant hole despite a spirited comeback in the second half, where Gio Reyna and Jamie Gittens found the net. However, the visitors were unable to take advantage of Kiel’s Lewis Holtby being sent off late in the game, ultimately allowing Fiete Arp to secure the win with a goal during stoppage time.

Sahin did not hold back in his assessment of the match, stating, “Shameful how we played. Not worthy of a club like Borussia Dortmund. From the first minute to the last. There’s nothing else to say.” The frustration was palpable among the players, with Nico Schlotterbeck and Emre Can engaging with angry fans post-match while their teammates looked on dejectedly. Despite dominating possession, Dortmund was caught off guard multiple times, with Kiel capitalizing on defensive errors to take a commanding lead before halftime.

In other Bundesliga action, Eintracht Frankfurt’s Omar Marmoush shone brightly, scoring one goal and assisting two others in a 4-1 comeback victory over Freiburg. Marmoush’s performance comes amid transfer speculation linking him to Manchester City, yet he remains a key figure for Frankfurt, contributing significantly to their offensive efforts. Meanwhile, Bayer Leverkusen continued their impressive form with a narrow 1-0 win over Mainz, thanks to a stunning free kick from Álex Grimaldo, extending their winning streak to ten matches. In contrast, Borussia Mönchengladbach faced a heavy defeat, losing 5-1 to Wolfsburg, adding to the woes for teams struggling in the league.
