Borussia Dortmund fans will take a long time to digest losing the title German Championship in the last round. The mission was simple: beat Mainz at home in the last round. But the 2-2 draw this Saturday gave Bayern Munich the chance to celebrate another Bundesliga cup after the 2-1 victory over Cologne as a visitor.
Borussia started the game completely unfocused. In 24 minutes, he took two goals from Mainz – scored by Hanche-Olsen and Onisiwo. Despair took over Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund.
Even so, chances were not lacking for Dortmund to achieve victory. The main one was at the feet of Haller, who wasted a penalty in the first stage.
According to numbers from SofaScore, there were 30 shots by Dortmund during the game – with 12 in the direction of the goal. Mainz goalkeeper, Dahmen actively participated in the match, with 10 saves, including the penalty kick.

Dortmund had extensive control of the duel. The team was in possession of the ball for 64% of the time, but defensive failures and lack of emotional control cost dearly in the pursuit of the German title.
