Borussia Dortmund have come out slightly better in this second half, but haven’t yet been able to find a way into the Kaiserslautern net. The home side have continued to play with energy and drive, and deserve credit for disrupting BVB’s short and medium passing game.
Kaiserslautern Vs. Borussia Dortmund: ‘Lautern Still Holding On To Clean Sheet
Just a few minutes into the second half, Florian Meier turned down penalty appeals for each side. First, Robert Lewandowski barged into the back of Ivo Ilicevic (who went to ground very easily) after a ‘Lautern corner, and then down the other end Thanos Petsos’ hand appeared to graze the ball just inside the box as he was challenged from behind by Mario Götze just a minute later. Götze was again involved on fifty-three minutes, as a flick from Kevin Großkreutz put him in against Tobias Sippel, but the hosts’ goalkeeper was equal to his task and grabbed the ball away from the young German attacking midfielder.
The sides have made just one change so far, as ‘Lautern’s Adam Hlousek was replaced by Stiven Rivic.
