- Relegation-threatening Fortuna Dusseldorf lost at home
- Halaand came from the bench to score a last-gasp winner
- Bayern have to for at least another match after tonight for Bundesliga title
Borussia Dortmund substitute Erling Braut Haaland headed a stoppage-time winner to give them a 1-0 victory at Fortuna Düsseldorf on Saturday and keep their slender Bundesliga title hopes alive and delay Bayern’s title celebration by a game after tonight.
Haaland scored on the last attack of the game to lift second-placed Dortmund to 66 points, meaning Bayern Munich would not be able to seal the title in the late kick-off against Borussia Mönchengladbach.
Dortmund had been the superior side in the first half, with Jadon Sancho crafting several opportunities – but without Haaland on the pitch after a recent knee problem, BVB were guilty of spurning several fine chances.
Haaland was introduced in the second half and had a role in Guerreiro finding the net, only for his effort to be wiped out by a VAR review for a handball, before Halaand himself find the back of the net with the last attack of the game.
Fortuna, in the relegation play-off spot, twice hit the woodwork through Steven Skrzybski, first in the 82nd minute with a low shot and eight minutes later after breaking clear. But Haaland made sure of a last-gasp win when he rose high to connect with a Manuel Akanji cross to hand the yellow and black an important three points.
Dortmund return home on Wednesday as they host Mainz at Signal Iduna Park. Dusseldorf face another tricky test, as they go to RB Leipzig the same day.
