Borussia Dortmund encountered disruptions caused by fan protesters throwing tennis balls onto the pitch during its match against VfL Wolfsburg, making it hard for its stars to find their rhythm and find victory.
BVB vs Wolfsburg
Referee Martin Petersen halted play several times due to tennis ball disruption. Niclas Fullkrug of BVB expressed their collective displeasure with these interruptions and stressed the necessity of finding an instant solution so as to prevent similar disruptions from reoccurring in future matches.
Dortmund’s inability to secure victory cannot solely be blamed on fan protests; rather, their team struggled throughout the match with building pressure against Wolfsburg’s goal, and there were only glimpses of offensive potential from players such as Marco Reus, Julian Brandt, Jadon Sancho, and Fullkrug.

Marcel Sabitzer stood out as an outstanding performer for Dortmund, creating danger with long-range shots and scoring an early goal from Fullkrug. However, these were insufficient to secure victory and help Dortmund secure three points from this match.
Dortmund’s offensive play lacked cohesion and precision, prompting Sebastian Kehl, their sports director, to criticize them for playing arrogantly during crucial moments and failing to control the game effectively. Kehl pointed out arrogance amongst their players, who didn’t heed Kehl’s advice of controlling it well and playing precisely like they wanted in controllable environments like BVB should have.
