What is the story about?
Good morning, Fear the Wall.
Dortmund made it hard on themselves yesterday with their 3-2 win over Heidenheim. An injury to Filippo Mane got the ball rolling on what was a genuine fight from Heidenheim, and if you ask me, Heidenheim probably deserved more from that game. Better finishing would see them win handily at the Westfalenstadion. That said, they didn’t finish their chances and Dortmund’s comeback brought them within six points of Bayern Munich.
Another comeback that you probably missed concerned
Almugera Kabar. More on that below.
