Dortmund go a goal down…but they may have a pen. 
 

Urgh, Haller has his weak ass pen saved. Still loads of time to turn it around but come on. 

[Michael]

Penalty to Dortmund!

[Michael]

Haller misses the penalty for Dortmund! Are Dortmund going to choke on the last day of the Bundesliga season?

[Rick]

I don’t know why that second pen shout wasn’t at least checked by the ref? The defender makes zero attempt at playing the ball, just barged him in the back. 
 

Bayern just conceded a second…are they going to fucking bottle this?! Fuck sake Dortmund. 

[Michael]

Mainz score a 2nd goal!! Dortmund losing on home soil, when the title was there for them to win today, what a shambles!

[DeadLinesman]

Dortmund have well and truly shit the bed.

[Danny]

I watched their last game they won 3-0 and outside of a couple players they looked so average.

They really did. It’s a bit like Arsenal towards the end. The pressure is getting to a lot of these players, whilst Bayern just know how to win. 
 

This is the most important 45 minutes of the last ten years for Dortmund. Get Bellingham on the pitch.

They should have started with Bellingham, he has been one of their best players all season. Never mind the fact that his transfer to Real Madrid is in the process of being agreed, Dortmund need his presence on the pitch for the 2nd half. Dortmund have a huge challenge to turn this around in the 2nd half.

I was hoping to live vicariously through a different team in a different league upsetting the dominant force all the way to the title...

[6666]

Bochum unexpectedly winning 2-0 against Leverkusen as well. Looks like they're gonna be safe. Shame that Schalke are probably going straight down.

[Lucas]

Dortmund have no composure whatsoever. Their final ball is so so poor. You need players with calm heads in this situationto play the right ball.

Only thing I would say is if they can score with at least 10mins left, that stadium is going to go off and change this game.

[Rick]

I can see Mainz scoring another on the counter here, they look ominous on the break. 
 

Need Koln to do more work, for the good of the league. At least a draw, come on lads

[Stan]

Ffs Dortmund.

There you go. One back, it's on.

They have brought on Reyna whose one of the only players to show some composure and he's creating openings for them.

Loads of time left, have to stay composed, don't snatch at chances.

[Lucas]

Koln equaliser. Scenes.

[Michael]

Dortmund are throwing everything at Mainz in search of 2 goals. Guerreiro has given them a glimmer of hope by pulling a goal back. But Dortmund have missed so many chances in this 2nd half, Moukoko, Reus, Reyna and Haller all missing scoring chances. As I speak Koln have equalised against Bayern, meaning one more goal for Dortmund and a draw might be enough for them.

[Michael]

The experienced forward Modeste is coming on for Dortmund. Can he find the goal that Dortmund so dearly need?

[Lucas]

Wow. How on earth has Hummels header not gone in??

If he leaves it, Reus' freekick probably drifts in.

Ive never seen a team fluff so many chances in one game...well, apart from one team that are absolute shite and play in White 

[6666]

Bayern messing up a game they should win easy when they were given this massive opportunity would be funny.

[Michael]

The Dortmund fans roar in optimism as they hear the news coming from Koln. Dortmund have to throw the kitchen sink now at Mainz in these last few minutes.

[Lucas]

Freiburg have occupied 4th for a while this afternoon but its all change with that Frankfurt equaliser and Union Berlin goal.

Got to love this last day, somethings happening every few minutes

[Michael]

Bayern retake the lead and that probably means they win the title. Dortmund only have themselves to blame.
