Borussia Dortmund manager Jürgen Klopp put together a brilliant tactical plan as his club silenced the Wolfburg attack on the way to a scoreless draw. It was only the second time die Wölfe had been held off the score-sheet, the other against Bayer Leverkusen and continues their winless record on the road. From a defending perspective Wolfsburg greatly limited the Dortmund side with their only notable efforts coming from Egyptian international Mohamed Zidan at the fourteenth and fifty-third minutes but both proved fruitless. Wolfsburg squandered a number of quality opportunities including Edin Džeko close-range miss two minutes before the half hour mark and equally were kept off the mark with BVB ‘keeper Roman Weidenfeller’s match-saving on Cristian Zaccardo’s header with twelve minutes remaining. With both squads taking a tough stance in the midfield, the match concluded as a nil draw.The match leaves Wolfsburg in eighth place with twenty-three points. Wolfsburg returns to action this Thursday against Portsmouth in the UEFA Cup.
