In the 25th minute, Youssoufa Moukoko sat down on the pitch after a collision with Bittencourt, grabbed the lower part of his left shin and signaled referee Felix Brych. He was then treated by the BVB physios.
The 18-year-old attacker then tried again, but in vain. After just under half an hour, the chance for the huge talent to start was over and Sébastien Haller came on.
The forced substitution should bother Moukoko in two respects, because the German World Cup driver had recently lost his regular place.
Before an important away game in Bremen: BVB star with court stress!
He was not used at all in Leverkusen and in the DFB-Pokal near Bochum, and had to make do with a brief appearance against Freiburg. In addition, the Sturmjuwel had been waiting for a goal participation for seven matches before the showdown in the far north.
With a strong performance on the Weser, the young clipper could have refreshed his application in the competition with Haller, instead there is even a risk of failure. After all, his colleagues rewarded him with a hard-fought victory as an encouragement.

The duel between the in-form opponents began cautiously. Both teams had broad chests, which meant that the Black and Yellows took charge and let the ball run, while Werner’s squad didn’t hide and acted boldly, especially in duels.
Great opportunities remained scarce for a long time. It was not until the 21st minute that Ryerson tested his own keeper after a Weiser cross, shortly afterwards the Bremen right-back tried it himself, but Kobel was there again (23′). It didn’t get any more dangerous in the first round.
After the change of sides, the next moment of shock followed: Schlotterbeck and Weiser bumped their heads at full speed and had to be examined for a long time. The action ended in a turban for the Werder player, but both continued to play (52′).
His move to BVB was considered almost certain: will the deal burst on the home stretch?
Luckily for the black and yellow, because the BVB central defender initiated the attack fifteen minutes later, which gave the lead.
After a one-two with substitute Bynoe-Gittens, the ball landed again on the left side of the penalty area with the young Englishman, who fired powerfully and sent the ball past Pavlenka into the short corner (67′).
The green-whites kept trying, but the more offensive orientation led to large gaps at the back. Julian Brandt finally used one of them to make a preliminary decision as a result of a counterattack. Born in Bremen, he wobbled Niklas Stark on the left side of the box and then put the ball skillfully into the net next to the right post to make it 2-0 (85).
There was no déjà vu in the first leg in the final phase, Dortmund took the full three points with them to the Ruhr area.
