National team player Julian Ryerson scored when Hans Borussia Dortmund kept alive the hope of a place in the Champions League next season. The 4-2 victory over Leverkusen provided a sad farewell for Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso in his last home game. He has announced that he is leaving after the season. The home team took the lead at Jeremie Frimpong after half an hour, but Dortmund turned the match before the break. First at Julian Brandt, and then Julian Ryerson set his second goal for the season. The right back got the ball on the right side in the 16-meter, took a touch and joined the left corner. Karim Adeyemi and Sehrou Guirassy added 3-1 and 4-1. The Liverkus Jonas Hofmann provided 2-4 in overtime. Dortmund is one point behind Freiburg, which is number four and has the last Champions League spot before the last series round. Eintracht Frankfurt is in 3rd place, two points ahead of Dortmund, but plays against St. Pauli later tonight. If Frankfurt loses today, Dortmund will have fate in his own hands in the last series round: Freiburg and Frankfurt meet each other. (NTB)
