After the game entered a tug-of-war, although both sides had chances, overall, it was Bayer Leverkusen who had the upper hand. After all, they are ahead of the score, and both mentality and morale will be better than Dortmund.

Dortmund are also tenacious, though.

In the 28th minute, when Yan Min broke through on the left side, he first made a gesture to go to the bottom line, but suddenly made an inward cut.

Bayer Leverkusen defender Roberto Hilbert, who was defending him, was too late to turn around and intercept, so he was forced to pull Yan Min down.

Borussia Dortmund won a free-kick on the left side of the box.

Reus wasn't there and Shaheen went to take the free-kick.

Borussia Dortmund's centre-backs, on the other hand, ran in front of the opposition goal, like a corner kick from a shorter distance and a bigger angle.

Shaheen then kicked the ball out and headed straight for goal.

In the process, Grosskreutz stepped forward against the ball, then jumped up and headed the ball back!

The football was rubbed towards the goal by him!

This header back rub is suddenly too hidden. Goalkeeper Leno was distracted and when the ball flew by, he made a save, but it was too late......

The football flew into the Leverkusen goal!

"Grosskreutz!!" Marcel Leif exclaimed excitedly, "Grosskreutz, he equalized for Borussia Dortmund!

As soon as Grosskreutz scored, Klopp jumped to his feet, raised his arms and shouted.

Zhou Yi also rushed out of his seat excitedly, since he played the main team in Dortmund, the experience of not entering the starting line-up like this and only sitting on the bench to watch the game has become less and less......

In the past, when the team scored, he hugged and celebrated with his team-scorers on the pitch, but now he can only cheer with his substitutes.

But Zhou Yiting doesn't care about this. He only cares about the team's results and he is happy to see Borussia Dortmund equalis.

※※※

But Zhou Yi didn't be happy for long. In the 34th minute, Bayer Leverkusen played a quick counterattack, and the back field played a long pass directly to the front.

Kiessling crossed a header in front of the court and gave it to Son Heung-min, who cut inside diagonally.

Son Heung-min smoothed the ball with his right foot and then dribbled towards the Dortmund penalty area.

In the face of a head-on block from two Dortmund defenders, Son Heung-min noticed Brandt on the right flank, so he dribbled horizontally to continue to attract Dortmund's defensive attention and allow Brandt to plug in.

At the right time, he passed the ball straight to Brandt.

At the same time, Dortmund's defenders also desperately returned to the defense, running towards Brandt and blocking his shot.

But Brandt didn't shoot, he didn't even stop the ball, he just crossed the ball to the back post!

The ball flew through the air over the heads of the three Dortmund players and into the open space behind.

Castro cut in from behind, and in the face of the ball from Brandt, he chose to head straight to the top!

The ball passed by Weidenfeller, who scrambled to the near corner, but the ball flew at his feet into the far corner......

"Castro!!!Leverkusen took the lead again! Bayer Leverkusen scored again five minutes after Borussia Dortmund equalised! It seems that Bayer Leverkusen will win this game on their home turf! They must win!'" said Marcel Leiff. "Also, at this time, I don't know if Bayern Munich is paying attention to this game......"

※※※

Bayern Munich was of course watching the game, and as soon as the bus arrived at the hotel, the Bayern Munich coaching staff quickly burrowed into the office of manager Pep Guardiola.

When Borussia Dortmund equalised, the atmosphere in the room was a bit depressing.

Fortunately, Bayer Leverkusen fought hard and quickly equalised.

The atmosphere in the room was relaxed a lot, and everyone could chat.

"This match is very beautiful......"

"Yes, yes, Brandt's direct cross was crucial, and it completely caught the Dortmund defenders off guard!"

Everyone analyzed the goal on the goal replay, just like the commentators.

"I don't know if Klopp regrets letting Zhou Yi sit on the bench......," someone sighed.

It was at this time that the TV broadcast also gave Zhou Yi a close-up.

Zhou Yi in the camera sat in his place with an expressionless face.

I couldn't see what was going on in his heart at all.

This disappointed those who wanted to see him anxious.

※※※

Just equalising and conceding another goal would certainly be a blow to Borussia Dortmund.

But the Dortmund players were unfazed by the blow.

They remember what Jurgen Klopp said to them before the game: "...... In my opinion, no one person is indispensable to the team, because all of you are indispensable! We are a unit, we have been able to win the league and the Champions League for three seasons in a row, not by one person, but by solidarity. So I made some changes to the squad for this game and it meant that I looked down on Bayer Leverkusen and it wasn't that I wanted to give up the league. Because I believe in you, you are also Dortmund players!"

These words gave Borussia Dortmund's players a lot of confidence and fighting spirit.

Of course, Zhou Yi is the core of the team, but as the coach said, they are also Dortmund players, and they have also worked hard and sweated for the championship of Dortmund.

If Zhou Yi is the most shining figure at the top of the pyramid, then they are the cornerstone of the pyramid. Without them, the spire would not have existed at all, and what good would it be to shine again?

This match is a chance for them to prove themselves.

Zhou Yi didn't start, if they really let Leverkusen suppress it, doesn't that mean that except for Zhou Yi, everyone else is useless?

Thinking about it this way, Dortmund, who was lagging behind, fought harder.

In the 37th minute, Yan Min switched to the right and crossed, and he passed the ball to the Bayer Leverkusen penalty area.

Mark jumped up in the box to grab the spot, and he was battled by Bayer Leverkusen defender Hilbert.

But Hilbert, when he jumped up for the top, raised his arm, and it was this raised arm that hit the flying football!

"Handball!" Duan Xin shouted.

At the same time, Mkhitaryan, who was next to him, also raised his arm and signaled Hilbert for handball!

This handball is very obvious, there is no block nearby, the referee is next to it, and it is clear to see.

He immediately blew the whistle and stopped the game.

"Hilbert handballed in the middle of the tutel...... Is this a penalty?" Marcel Leif wasn't quite sure when he saw the referee point to the spot. "Yes, it was a penalty! Borussia Dortmund won a penalty! Three minutes after being scored by Bayer Leverkusen, Dortmund won a penalty!

Hilbert defended himself: "It's a ball hitter, I didn't mean it......"

The referee made a gesture of opening his arms to him, signaling that his arms were open just now, which was a very key basis for the decision. If he clamps his hands, even if the ball hits him, he will not be awarded a penalty, because the practice of clamping his arms can be said to be important evidence that the player subjectively did not take a penalty. That's why many players put their hands behind their backs when defending crosses, and although it's hard to keep their balance, at least they won't be hit by a soccer ball and awarded a penalty when their arms are raised to keep their balance......

Slow motion was also replayed from multiple angles, proving that the referee's decision was correct.

If Hilbert hadn't touched the ball with his hand, Mark would have hit the ball and he would have posed a big threat to Leverkusen's goal by hitting the ball near the penalty spot.

Hilbert's handball is too obvious to refute.

Although the Leverkusen players were a little depressed, they could not overturn the case.

I can only accept this sentence.

However, the Dortmund players were a little unrelenting, and Mark approached the referee in the hope of giving Hilbert another yellow card.

But the referee shook his head and refused the request.

Originally, it wasn't a deliberate handball, but it was okay to give a penalty, and it would be too much to ask for a yellow card......

Borussia Dortmund's penalty went to Marc, who now has 17 league goals, one goal away from Robert Lewandowski, who is the top scorer.

Mark, setting up the football, waited for the referee to blow the whistle.

Then he started to run, and when he hit the football, there was a slight upturned movement on his toes, and the football was picked up by him!

Bayer Leverkusen's goalkeeper Leno pounced sideways to the right, but Mark kicked a spoon penalty!

The ball draws a parabola and flies into the goal from the middle!

"Mark!! Marc a beautiful spoon penalty! He equalised again for Borussia Dortmund! It was his eighteenth league goal of the season! He equalled Robert Lewandowski and the two were tied for the league top scorers!"
