The Borussia Dortmund fans had hoped for three consecutive home games in the Premier League and the Champions League in vain for another one of their favorite team. And coach Jürgen Klopp had come a little brooding. “The problem is known to us,” he said. “We do not worry about it, but thoughts.”
In the DFB Cup quarter-final against TSG Hoffenheim Borussia shot back doors. And drove the 3: 2 after extra time in a highly exciting game for the time being the gloomy thoughts that come up again and again in this season. The ball hits the set substitute midfielder Sebastian Kehl in the second half of extra time with a shot from twenty meters from the pole jumped into the grid (107 minutes). In the regular season had Neven Subotic (19) and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (57) rediscovered the scoring for Dortmund. Kevin Volland (21) and Roberto Firmino (28) had met for Hoffenheim.

More about
Before kick-off there was bad news for the followers of the BVB. Captain Mats Hummels and creative director Marco Reus fell out injured. For Hummels Sokratis moved into the middle, its defensive duties in the field took Erik Durm who was fit enough for the first time in this (calendar) year for a competitive game use. Instead of Reus occupied the central attacking midfielder Shinji Kagawa. These changed coach Jürgen Klopp his starting on two other positions: Mitch Langerak was, as in the German Cup common between the posts, Henrikh Mkhitaryan replaced Kevin Kampl
.
At first it seemed as should the BVB cope with failures and changes easily. At this mild evening they had reached their operating temperature quickly and conferred with a first warning shot of Mchitarjan first respect. And no one was surprised when Subotic of Dortmund shot lead after a corner kick from Blaszczykowski. But the rude awakening came sooner than Borussia dreamed possible. Just two minutes after the 1: 0 Volland met – he also benefited from a corner – to 1: 1
.
The compensation inspired Hoffenheim, recently clearly inferior in the league Gladbach, a lot of courage a; Dortmund, however, seemed increasingly insecure. This condition was reflected by way of example in the development of the second counter gate. Subotic, just acclaimed scorer was exemplary of the pervasive lack of care. How to leave of his senses, hit the defender moved up in the middle of the ball, and allowed Firmino, who responded presence of mind, a solo run towards goal. Once there, the filigree technician lifted the ball with feeling about the addition hurrying Langerak and into the net.
damage repaired
Borussia dutifully tried to repair the damage, but their advances were initially rather in the category of “you have tried” – and in vain, as so often in the past few weeks. Towards the end of the first half Hoffenheim almost extended their lead and the ball went for a dignified plea put forward in goal, but referee Deniz Aytekin saw Volland just offside.
The break came in handy the Dortmundern. Apparently Jürgen Klopp succeeded in the cabin to awaken the spirits of his players again and to encourage them to restart. They tried it now with more bite, generated a lot of pressure and forced Hoffenheim, who no longer looked so good on the ball as initially errors. The first two chances left Aubameyang and Gundogan still unused, but then the Dortmund will track when Aubameyang in the air prevailed over Strobl and head restoring balanced proportions broke.
Then the Dortmund were the third gate closer than the opponent, his attacks on the stage of the experiment no longer came out a long time. The busy Aubameyang and Subotic missed it, to bring the home team the lead again; both found in goalkeeper Baumann their master. But in the closing stages and Hoffenheim felt again more aggressiveness. Good opportunities for Polanski and Firmino provided the evidence that they had not lost the daily goal completely out of sight. Then the drama Oversize took its course and ended with Kehl hit, the still shot the BVB in the hitherto uneventful extension to the semifinals.
