🚨 BIGGEST COLLAPSE!?🚨 Borussia Dortmund vs. Mainz | Bundesliga Highlights | ESPN FC

The brightest of sunshine at Signal Iduna Park. A metaphor, perhaps, as Dortmund attempt to write another chapter in their club's history. Edith Terzic, lifelong Borussia Dortmund supporter, now in charge of the team, a former occupant himself of the vast yellow wall. And Daniel Marlon, first sight of goal for Dortmund. Yeah, comfortable play here, also confident passing. Wolff so far is a good starter, Marlon at the moment in great form. You know, he literally scores left, right and centre. Chance, in the way of Sebastian Allee. Looking for a shot, goal, and they found one. Andreas Hank Olsen with his first goal for Mainz. And the title race, full of twists and turns already, takes another dramatically unexpected direction. And now it's time to really focus and put the heads up. We see it's a corner on the short post. And that is just Emre Can, completely loses his player. Haller comes off the post. Just those bad decisions here by both players. Haller thought he can get there. It's not really good defending, to be nice. It was terrible defending, John, to be honest. But now it's about character. Don't respond, Marlon. Easy challenge, it was a foul. And here's Dominic Kohl for Mainz. He was then barged off the ball by Emre Can, and that will be called. Definitely playing with the fire here, on the edge of the box, coming from behind. Further scrutiny. Dominic Kohl was the man who made it. We are pausing. VAR is Pascal Müller. Let's have a look here again, very close. Was that a foul? At least on contact. You called it, John, it was a bit clumsy. There was no reason really to go there and looking to back on to the striker here. So VAR involved. On the right foot, on the right ankle, there is contact. Yeah, 100% contact. So 100% penalty for you, it looks. Well, I mean, the player basically faces away from the goal, but if you look at the room, there is contact there. Big call. Penalty. I think if he looks at it again, there is no choice. He needs to give it. If he lets it go, OK, you can doubt about it, but if he does call it, and if he looks at the VAR himself, at the video, then that is exactly what the referee showed. Now he kicks him on the outside of the foot. Chan is probably the likeliest contender. He's handed the ball to Sebastian Allaire. Duke Bellingham has scored twice on the spot this season. Emre Can once, Gio Reyna, who's on the bench, once. Sebastian Allaire, though, is the man in form. Five goals in his last three games, but this will be his first penalty kick of the season. It's Allaire for Dortmund, and it's a plunging save by the departing Darman. And Dortmund fans who are not inside the stadium will be watching this from behind their sofas. Darman goes first the other way, or at least the inside of the field. Usually the decision from the players on the field who feels the best. If Chan doesn't feel right... Cross coming in, and another challenge that is questioned by Dortmund, and from which the referee turns his back and walks away. It was committed by Aaron Martín, and the victim of that challenge is still down. And look at Dortmund's players, and particularly Chan racing to the referee to say, look, surely VAR needs to be involved again. And there's communication, obviously, between the ref. Let's have a look here again. And it's another clumsy challenge. From behind, there is the post without the ball. And again, if he looks at it again, he will give a penalty again. Edin Terzic just had his say. On the Civo! It's two! And it's double trouble for Dortmund! Their dreams curling up at the edges before their very eyes. It's absolutely unbelievable, Chan. And we see it here, this long ball, diagonal. It spreads again, makes it wide, spreads the defence open. With the cross, easy again in the centre. Nobody around, and then Kobol against his movement. He moves onto the other side. He just makes that one step against, and then he doesn't really look particularly happy or lucky at this ball here. But look how free the header here is. On the Civo. Now I think Dortmund really needs to start to think of something, because it simply doesn't go their way. Look at the language of the ball, the language. Chan. Souda. That's Brandt! Good pass and a good run by Brandt. But so far, after 34 minutes, have a look again here. And it's difficult from this angle really to endanger here. Down and in goal. He does well so far. Guerreiro. Good ball again here by Mainz. And he still manages to come and finish inside the box. Wolfs. Brandt. Heading up for Dortmund and for Brandt! That's the biggest chance so far. He decided to go by himself. He decided to go for the short corner here. Run here. Now he goes through. Every cross and every corner which goes right into his hands. On a Civo. Dortmund stretched again at the back and Lee is free. And on a Civo went for personal glory. Yeah. Too selfish here by the Austrian international. He also goes for power. Koukou. And sliding in at the back post was Allaire. Again, a question of centimetres and millimetres here. That's a good cross here. Teasing for the keeper and the defence. And Hummels just misses it. Burning. And then look at that. Just under the hour marker. Massive chance here. Reiner. And again Gio Reiner. Well maybe he's the player who has the key to the Mainz door. As Moukoko fires across the face. Definitely since Reiner is on there is lots of good areas played around the box. Yet that creativity was missing in the first half for sure. And Moukoko actually should have gone for the pass. It's Reiner. Reiner a second time. And one back. For Dortmund. Through Rafa Guerrero. And all may not be lost for Dortmund. And we said it before. Since Reiner is on he definitely changed the game. He changed the offensive momentum. He looked so confident. So clear on the ball. And again he started the move. Good crisp finish here as well. We see Reiner goes into the box now. And nice. Rierson. Emre Can. Halle. And then Marco Reus with the acrobatics. First time actually that Baumann was beaten in the air here. Needs to backpedal. Halle. Good cross again here by the young Belgium. He said it right before. He also brought some good life there. On that right wing. Very skillful with the ball on his feet. Good crosses as well. Ten minutes to play in Cologne. Ljubicic's penalty. 1-1 there. Dortmund back on top. That must give Dortmund another push forward now. Hummels with the challenge. It means if it stays like that in Cologne even a defeat would be okay for Dortmund. Because they started the day with a two-point advantage. Depths of despair for the majority of the afternoon. So the elation of a Cologne equaliser. And now again the gloom descends on the Westfalenstadion. Haas. Fraus. Crowns are evident and phones are studied. The Hail Mary. Modest. And Halle. Flag is up. And it will not count. Yeah, he's just off. And Bayern have won. So these are the final few seconds of the Bundesliga season. Dortmund apparently powerless to stop an 11th consecutive Bayern title. Koble for probably the last time. Thousands of Dortmund supporters turned up here hoping for and expecting to be involved in a party. The reality has turned out very differently. Itzula. That will count. But it will not make a difference surely. 2-2. A minute beyond the five extra. A draw not enough for Dortmund. Itzula with a good finish here. Great first touch and then with the volley. Incandescent that they are still being asked to play on as the goalkeeper comes and challenges and still Dortmund have half a chance. Amazing finish at the Westfalenstadion. The referee has managed to find two extra minutes beyond the 90. But that is it. A draw is not enough for Dortmund. Watch ESPN FC seven days a week.
