Dortmund got a taste of the yellow horde from the north, when the Bodø/Glimt supporters “took over” the handball hall and TV broadcast from Norway’s World Cup match on Tuesday. On Wednesday, it was Dortmund’s proud football club that was to be put out. After the game, Dortmund captain Nico Schlotterbeck lashed out at his own players.
Dortmund dominated the first half and took a 1-0 lead, but could not increase it and conceded an equaliser just before half-time. The second half developed in a similar way with a quick Dortmund goal, before Jens Petter Hauge equalized 75 minutes into the game. At the end, Glimt were closer to scoring the winning goal than Borussia Dortmund, captain Nico Schlotterbeck was visibly frustrated after the game.

-I said it at halftime. After taking the 1-0 lead, we started to play extremely sloppy, with incredibly bad first touches. Everyone was just playing their own game. The players who came in lost every ball. You have to “kill the game”, and we didn’t do that. Instead of securing the victory, Dortmund got stuck in fancy football, and it simply wasn’t enough. We can go to 13 points here, and I think some of the players didn’t realize how important that is. Therefore, this is not only bitter, it is just very weak, the Dortmund captain fires to DAZN.
What Schotterbeck does not think about is that Kjetil Knutsen’s Bodø/Glimt and the supporters simply refuse to give up, with an energy that cannot be “killed”. Dortmund should be thankful that they picked up a point at home.
