VIDEO: Marc Reus’ luxury direct kick to the post! Dortmund already have the same number of points as Bayern

Now that was a real treat. Even though Marco Reus is 33 years old and has been through a lot of injuries in his career, he certainly hasn’t lost any quality. He confirmed Borussia Dortmund’s win over Hertha Berlin with this beautiful direct pass.

Borussia got a lot of motivation in the locker room before the game. Bayern Munich, the leaders, lost to Borussia Mönchengladbach and if Dortmund had won, they would have moved to the top of the table.

The Yellow and Black didn’t want to leave anything to chance and scored two goals in the first half. In the 27th minute, Reus’ heel shot was put into the net by Adeyemi, and five minutes later Malen added a second goal.

Hertha dramatised the game immediately after the change of sides when Tousart reduced the deficit. Borussia defended the narrowest of margins for a long time until the 76th minute and a direct kick just outside the box.

Reus stepped up to the spot and directed his attempt straight into the crossbar. The Dortmund captain showed that standard situations are still his great strength.

The loyal captain will always have a place in the fans’ hearts. Even though all the clubs in the world wanted him in his prime, Reus remained loyal to Borussia. He is in his 11th season in the yellow and black jersey and has maintained a high standard despite frequent injuries.

In the 90th minute, Julian Brandt added a fourth goal and Borussia won 4-1. The Bavarians are now leading by a score of 43 points. Unexpectedly, third-placed Union Berlin is also in the title race, with the same number of points as the two traditional German sides.

Dortmund are in amazing form after the winter break, having won all 8 of their matches. It recorded six wins in the Bundesliga, one in the DFB Pokal and one also in the Champions League eight-final against Chelsea.
