Shinji Kagawa scored the only goal of the match as Borussia Dortmund defeated Werder Bremen 1-0. The win maintains Dortmund’s 5 point lead over Bayern Munich and extends their Bundesliga record unbeaten run to 20 matches. The goal was another great team move with Ilkay Gundogan selflessly laying it on a plate for Kagawa to score his ninth league goal of the season. Not a bad way to celebrate his 23rd birthday. Highlights.
Shinji Okazaki sat out Stuttgart’s 2-1 win over Hoffenheim through injury. He will be out for around three weeks after suffering ligament tears in his knee. Gotoku Sakai played the entire match as Stuttgart moved closer to European qualification. Vedad Ibisevic scored twice against his former team.
Takashi Inui scored but couldn’t prevent Bochum from losing 2-1 to MSV Duisberg. It was his seventh goal of the season. He has recently been the subject of interest from Galatasary and could move to Istanbul this summer.
Ryo Miyaichi started for Bolton in their F.A. Cup tie against Tottenham. However, the match was abandoned as Bolton’s Fabrice Muamba collapsed on the pitch from cardiac arrest. He was treated for ten minutes before being rushed to the London Chest Hospital. Updates report that while Muamba remains in critical condition, his heart no longer needs medication to keep working. Hopefully his condition continues to improve. Get well soon, Fabrice.
J. League updates in the coming days.
