Saturday 19.04.2014, 15:30 • Signal Iduna Park • Bundesliga

		The fans can't complain about what they have seen on the pitch as both sides have shown us a highly attractive football. The home side were better today. The home team tried to find the weakness in the opposition's defence especially with rapid counter-attacks unlike the players of the away team who presented themselves with possession football. (17:26:55)

	88	Pierre Aubameyang wastes a great scoring opportunity! He receives a precise lofted cross inside the box and sends a quick shot, aiming to the bottom left corner.
