Midstop Can decided when Borussia Dortmund won without Haaland

Hertha Berlin defended with great skill and showed why the team had only two back goals in the first four games after the virus break, but after 57 minutes Borussia Dortmund scored his 13th goal after the same break. The goal scorer was Can, who substituted for banned Mats Hummels at the stop.

Jadon Sancho sent in from the left, and Julian Brandt nodded beautifully in the legs of Can, who from 17 yards placed a flat shot in the corner. Rune Almenning Jarstein was down quickly and got a few fingers on the ball, but was unable to stop it.

With Jarstein and Per Ciljan Skjelbred in the starting lineup, Hertha came to Dortmund with 10 points from their previous four matches and made it difficult for home teams who still managed to land their fourth victory in the last five matches. The loss in the top match against Bayern Munich is the only flaw.

Borussia Dortmund is seven points behind Bayern Munich with four rounds left to play and could at least postpone Munich's gold cheer. At the same time, the team has attached a tight grip on the silver space. The three rivals in the 2nd place match took one point together this weekend, and it was RB Leipzig's 1-1 against table jumbo Paderborn.

Unusual role

Haaland was not ready for a fight after his knee injury, although he was back in training on Thursday. The 19-year-old high scorer lost his second game in a row, and Thorgan Hazard had to take action in an unfamiliar role as center forward.

The Belgian was given the greatest opportunity in a poor first round where form-rich Hertha defended herself with skill. 21 minutes into the game, Jordan Torunarigha was unable to score from Raphaël Guerreiro's shot, but the ball went wide. The ball flew outside.
