Title: Kramer's Last-Chance Misfire: A Heartbreaking Moment in Dortmund
What if Kramer had made Borussia happy?
In the tense 4-2 thriller against Dortmund, Christoph Kramer (32) came agonizingly close to salvaging a draw for Borussia. In the fifth minute of stoppage time, an opportunity beckoned, but a centimeter short of glory, his shot narrowly missed the BVB goal - it would have been 3:3.
Had he scored, it would have been Kramer's second goal in his eleven matches at Dortmund. His debut goal, a 50-meter own goal in November 2011 against BVB, was an unforgettable moment in foals' history.
Kramer's POV
"I took a massive risk, went straight at the ball. When it left my foot, I thought it was destined for the fans' corner. Alas, it only missed by a centimeter or less!" Kramer shared after the game.
A Shift in Momentum: Augsburg's 4:4 Draw
Unfortunately, the turn of events in Augsburg was not repeated. With the game's final action, Tomas Cvancara (23) saved a point with a penalty in a dramatic 4:4 draw.
Kramer's thoughts at the Foals' tenth consecutive Bundesliga defeat in Dortmund: "Leading 2-0 in Dortmund, it's frustrating to find ourselves trailing 2-3 at the break. If we maintained our 2-0 lead for a little longer, the crowd would have gotten edgy, making it difficult for the home team to play."
The Quick Follow-Up Goal
Alas, the Foals' two-goal advantage only lasted for two minutes! Kramer: "The swift counter-attack gave Dortmund a boost, and they almost secured a 4:2 lead early on. If the game had settled into a draw, nobody could have complained, especially after the initial 35 minutes."
Regional Sports Discussion in Düsseldorf
The missed opportunity in the last minute sparked intense conversation across Düsseldorf's sports community, deploring the Foals' luck and resilience. Sports enthusiasts echoed the sentiment that the team was heading in the right direction, highlighting the silver lining included in the 4:2 defeat against Borussia Dortmund.
