The Westphalian team suffered its first defeat under new coach Edin Terzic, who replaced the dismissed Luciano Favre on Sunday and began Tuesday’s win in Bremen.
Dortmund has lost the third of the last five league matches and is losing six points to leader Leverkusen, who has Saturday’s match against second Bayern. In addition, Borussia may lose fourth place at the weekend.
Taiwo Awoniyi opened the ball after 57 minutes with a shot straight in front of the goal after a long ball through the middle, but one of the visitors’ defenders got a foot in at the last second and warded it off for a corner. A Cameroonian native representing Germany, who also became the youngest player in the history of the Bundesliga in November, broke Florian Wirtz’s record. He scored for Leverkusen in June this year against Bayern at the age of 17 years and 34 days.
Marvin Friedrich decided to win the Union in the 78th minute. The Berlin team moved to fifth place by a point behind Dortmund.
