I also thought Leipzig would win this one, but after that reply goal, which came after about 3 minutes only, it changed my view regarding the flow of this game and, eventually, Dortmund proved that they were sharp and strong enough to win a big match like this—one that demands such qualities of its victors. They not only benefited from their dominance but also pressed Leipzig throughout the game. Winning by such a narrow margin makes the victory sweeter for Dortmund, in terms of points and for motivation. The hosts started brightly, but as the game wore on, they lost impetus, and Dortmund were quick to capitalize. The outcome is proof that they can grind out results when it matters most, especially in the cut-throat nature of competition in the Bundesliga.
Actually, Dortmund has a strong squad, they also played at home. Why you assume Leipzig will win the match? Even if Leipzig in the 2nd place, it doesn't mean they are stronger than Dortmund, especially since it was the home match for Dortmund. Before the match, honestly I guessed Dortmund will win the match. And finally it really happens, Dortmund gets full points today.
Even if it is a narrow margin, it is enough to win the match. Dortmund basically could win with bigger scores, they made 19 shots (7 on target). Dortmund really dominated the match but Leipzig defense was quite strong. Dortmund was lucky that they could score 2 goals to secure 3 points from the match. With this win result, Dortmund and Leverkusen have the same points. The competition to finish in UCL zone looks more interesting because they have little point gap.
