Ultimately, however, it was enough for the tenth competitive win in a row.

“In recent years it has always been the case that – if we lost a game or it ended in a draw – the question of mentality was asked. Now we have to justify ourselves a bit for the luck in the game,” said Terzic: “Today I saw it that we are at the top of many statistics in the top five leagues. It doesn’t matter whether it’s points, the number of goals we’ve scored or the number of shots on goal. It’s not just about luck!”

The BVB coach analyzed that he saw “the two teams in the best form in the Bundesliga”: “I think we played really well in the first half and defended passionately in the second half. It was tight again at the end Annoyed, of course. But we accepted that. When we saved it over the line in the end, it wasn’t easy to score against us either.”
