Dortmund’s starting eleven rookie Julian Brandt justified his nomination with the 2-1 winning goal against FC Augsburg. The attacking player praised the fans and is looking forward to even more spectator support, but was also a little annoyed about the chances he had missed.
After the English week, Brandt described the success against FCA as a “feat of strength” after an intense game. “The victory was extremely important for us,” the 25-year-old stated after the eighth home win in a row, in which BVB showed a clear improvement in performance after a 1-1 break. He was “a bit lucky” with his second goal of the season, “that the ball was just placed in the right place”. But the joy about that and about the successful “move and the importance of the goal” was clearly evident in the national player’s face. “When you win, you are happy in the end. “
Waste of chances: The 3:1 doesn’t want to fall
But Brandt was not entirely satisfied. He was a little “annoyed that we didn’t get the third goal. We could have saved ourselves a lot.” Marco Reus (57th, crossbar, 70th) and Thorgan Hazard (66th, post) had great chances to make it 3:1. “There was a lack of cleanliness, the greed to just want to score the goal,” he criticised. With a smile he added: “Then we don’t have the stress until the 90th. “
“Where the opponent still came a bit, they whipped us forward, that’s extremely important for us. “

It was enough to get the three points that lifted BVB to second place, at least temporarily. Also thanks to the fans, thinks Brandt. “Where the opponent still came a bit, they whipped us forward, which is extremely important for us. We are looking forward to the next game when even more spectators are allowed. That’s a dream for us. “
