That 0-0 against BVB might be the turning point of our season.
I know a goalless draw doesn't usually make for the most exciting highlight reel, but Saturday's 0-0 against Borussia Dortmund felt massive. After the nightmare start to the season, taking a point off a title-contending Dortmund side at a sold-out Alte Försterei is exactly the kind of gritty performance we needed.
What makes this point so important?
Defensive Stability is Back: We just recorded our second consecutive clean sheet. After shutting out SV Elversberg 1-0 last week, holding BVB to zero goals shows that Coach Lustrinelli's defensive foundation is finally solidifying.
Frustrating the Giants: Dortmund dominated possession (63%), but we restricted them to just two shots on target. We made it an incredibly physical, frustrating afternoon for them, which is peak Union football.
The Standings: Every single point is a lifeline right now. We are currently sitting in 17th place with 5 points. Scraping points against top-tier teams could be the difference between survival and relegation by the end of May.
It wasn't pretty, but it was our kind of football. How did everyone feel about the defensive shape? U-N-V-E-U!
Whats your take on the game, and do you believe we will be competing for the TOP10 this season instead of a Relegation spot?
