They can be few things that their coach, Peter Stöger, cherishes as much as this. Not only had Dortmund played as Stöger wanted them to but they appeared to have done so in direct response to his recent criticisms. Dortmund only had four efforts at goal in the whole game but they used their moments well. Under Stöger, Dortmund have conceded only eight in 10 Bundesliga games, so it’s little wonder those upstairs are happy with him. All personnel items, however, will pale in significance to who is leading Dortmund from the bench next season.
