Dortmunders win in Frankfurt
By: Tucker | May 4th, 2009BVB continued its drive towards European football with a 2-0 victory over Frankfurt. With their sixth consecutive victory Jürgen Klopp’s side is only three points off Stuttgart and Hamburg tied for the fourth spot in the table.
In front of a sold-out Waldstadion, the match started with few significant scoring chances as both sides screwed down defensive liabilities tight. As is the customary practice of BVB coach, a successful lineup is never tinkered with and he kept with the same starting eleven of recent play. The match certainly had all the makings of a draw as for much of the first hour the general play was testament to perfect planning and error free structure. Slowly BVB began to find modest openings and with eleven minutes remaining Patrick Owomoyela came down the right side of the box and centred the ball back to Tamás Hajnal. After the Hungarian international’s attempt was blocked by Marco Russ, Mohamed Zidan sent in the rebound from twelve metres. Only five minutes later the match was settled as Tamás Hajnal chased down a long-through ball and sent a low cross in from the bye-line that was inadvertently redirected in by Habib Bellaid as a own goal to give BVB the 2-0 win.

Tucker,
Thanks as always for the update. You’re one of the few english speaking lines to Dortmund that I know of. I don’t know if you noticed this, but I’m starting to get a little disappointed with some of the other blogs that haven’t updated in a while. I do like hearing what somebody with a vested interest in another team has to say. Especially with the increasing number of teams BVB has recently defeated.
On to the game: Certainly was a back and forth affair with few quality chances. The team’s timing seemed to be just a tad off, and I was personally worried that Frankfurt were going to succeed in preventing us from grabbing all the points. I would have liked to see Nelson Valdez get a little reward for his 2 nice headers on goal, but such is the game. I’m glad Zidan put one it. To me it seems like there’s a big gap between the coach’s thoughts on him and the fans opinions. As long as he gives 100% effort I cannot dislike him, but it is clear we do not have a striker that is a complete match dominator. 6 wins in a row! KSC won’t make 7 easy.
Also, i’m not sure what the Offside’s policy is, but i’d love to hear your thoughts and opinions about different subjects other than results. individual performances, club issues, and maybe even predictions. I know it’s out of you personal time that you produce this, but any insight is most likely to be greater than my novice footballing eye. Anyway, thanks again for the update. Saturday can’t come soon enough.

dkt – It is pretty sad that few commentaries of BVB are in English. I’ve even noticed that some match reports in english are incorrect and they obviously are from someone who didn’t watch the match.
As far as other posts, I know a number of the other blogs are all trying to log on but haven’t been able to since Friday or Saturday. I could not put up my preview and had you use a different system to post this review. It’s frustrating because they are all trying to but it has to do with a security patch on their system.
I’ll try to fill you in more on some things, maybe in comments like right here but simply put, most of these entries are a “diary” that only a few read. It’s been frustrating but very nice to have a few comments recently. Thanks!
