Borussia closes in on safety with victory over Cottbus
By: otto | May 13th, 2009On Wedesday Borussia won its second match in a row, defeating Energie Cottbus 1-0 with a late goal by Dante’s. Borussia rank tenth in the Rückrunde are three points above the drop with only two weeks remaining in the Bundesliga season.
For much of the match the general tone was near flawless discipline on both ends with neither side able to break through in the opening half. After the break Borussia started to assert itself with Karim Matmour coming with a fraction of scoring before his attempt was cleared. Gradually the pace started to wear on Borussia and Bojan Prašnikar urged his side to push forward for the three points. With ten minutes remaining Dušan Vasiljević entered for Cottbus and Borussia was on unsteady ground as the hosts were relentless, pushing Logan Bailly into another extraordinary performance. However as regulation time came to a end, Borussia was able to push forward, winning a corner. Stepping up to the ball Mark Marin’s cross was headed by Dante off the crossbar and in for the 1-0 victory.

Courage and faith and a healthy portion of luck…
Actually, Gladbach will have to seriously watch out. I predict they will lose away against Leverkusen and then, if they are unlucky, they will need to get at least a point at home against Dortmund, which will not be easy…Posted from
