At the end of the disappointing afternoon, the Borussia Dortmund players sneaked across the lawn with empty looks.
After the 1: 5 (1: 1) against VfB Stuttgart, they have been without a win for three games in the Bundesliga, and there was never a long negative series under coach Lucien Favre.
BVB is experiencing an Advent crisis.
For the first time in seven years, the club lost three home games in the league in a row.
The Swabians, on the other hand, remain unbeaten away and are one of the surprises of the season so far as a promoted team.
Stuttgart coach Pellegrino Matarazzo had to do without midfielder Daniel Didavi and his yellow-banned captain Gonzalo Castro.
In addition to the injured striker Erling Haaland, Dortmund was also missing Thorgan Hazard, who had been substituted for a muscle injury during the 2-1 week in the Champions League in St. Petersburg.
Young star Youssoufa Moukoko has to wait for his debut in the starting XI, initially sat on the bench.
Coach Lucien Favre rotated to six positions.
His team had problems from the start.
The Stuttgart team played bravely and aggressively, their very good switching game presented Borussia with a great challenge.
VfB had eight shots on goal after 30 minutes, Dortmund just one.
Wataru Endo had the first chance (3rd), then Borna Sosa forced the Dortmund goalkeeper Roman Bürki to a brilliant act (7th).

After a foul by Emre Can on Mateo Klimowicz, there was a penalty, which Silas Wamangituka converted to 1-0 (27th).
Bürki could not save any of the 20 league penalties against him.
The Stuttgart were also the better team after that, Klimowicz could have made it 2-0, but failed to Bürki (38th).
Immediately afterwards, Dortmund came out of nowhere to equalize: Raphaël Guerreiro matched Giovanni Reyna, who elegantly shot the ball over Stuttgart goalkeeper Gregor Kobel (39th).
Even in the last minutes before the break, Stuttgart remained dangerous.
In the second half, VfB punished Dortmund for their nonchalance on the defensive.
Guerrero and Jude Bellingham lost the ball in their own penalty area, Wamangituka made it 2-1 (53rd).
Stuttgart continued to play offensively - and Philipp Förster decided the game when he scored the 3-1 after a pass from Sosa (60th).
Dortmund was completely irrelevant.
Bellingham lost the ball, Tanguy Coulibaly scored in the following attack to 4: 1 (63rd).
Nicolas Gonzales even scored the fifth goal in Stuttgart (90 + 1).
The promoted team disgraced Borussia.
Accordingly, the discussion about Favre should become more intense.
The club management and the coach want to analyze the course of the season at the end of January and examine the prospects for further cooperation.
This was reported by the "Ruhr Nachrichten".
Favre's contract in Dortmund expires on June 30, 2021 after three years.
It is said that BVB has been exploring the coaching market for some time.
RB Leipzig - Werder Bremen 2: 0 (2: 0)
display
“Machines”, in love with winning - that is how Leipzig's coach Julian Nagelsmann ennobled his professionals after the 3-2 win against Manchester United and their entry into the knockout round of the European premier class.
After the freestyle, the compulsory part was completed four days later.
RB won 2-0 (2-0) against Bremen and thus remains promising in the title race in the Bundesliga.
For Werder, however, the situation is critical again.
The team of coach Florian Kohfeldt has been without a win for eight match days and is threateningly approaching the relegation zone.
Trusting his strong squad, Nagelsmann even ordered Angeliño to take a break from the starting line-up.
The Spaniard had previously played in all 17 competitive games of the season and had seven goals and five assists.
Without the guarantee of success, Leipzig had difficulties getting up to operating temperature.
After some unstructured banter, however, RB increased the risk, forced the vertical game and came more dangerous in front of the goal.
Only Kluivert gave the lead (22nd).
Shortly afterwards, Augustinsson hit RB striker Poulsen with his arm in the face.
Sabitzer used the penalty to make it 1-0 (26th).

Leipzig's little knot was untied.
And from then on the attacks rolled with clear dominance.
After two chances for Poulsen, the third dangerous combination brought the 2-0 through Olmo (41st).
There is euphoria for further festival weeks for Leipzig Monday.
The Champions League round of 16 will be drawn from 12 noon.
The group winners Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester City, Juventus Turin and Real Madrid are waiting as possible opponents.
Borussia Mönchengladbach - Hertha BSC 1: 1 (0: 0)
They didn't want to leave it at one point and pushed for the second hit.
But in the end it shouldn't be enough: Borussia Mönchengladbach had to be content with a 1: 1 (0: 0) against Hertha BSC at home.
Three days after reaching the round of 16 in the Champions League at Real Madrid, Borussia made six changes in the starting line-up.
Tobias Sippel played for goalkeeper Yann Sommer, who has adductor problems, for the first time in two and a half years.
Hertha, who came with the recommendation of the derby win against Union Berlin (3-1), had to do without the yellow-banned top striker Cunha.
The failure made itself felt.
There was hardly anything offensive in the first half for the Berliners, but neither did the hosts.

A mistake by Zakaria, who messed up the ball on the edge of the penalty area, led to Hertha 1-0 shortly after the break.
Darida put Guendouzi on loan from Arsenal, who hit from around 16 meters (47th).
For Borussia it was the seventh goal they conceded after losing the ball this season, but it didn't throw them off course.
In the 70th minute, Embolo managed to equalize for the Gladbach team after the preparatory work by national player Ginter.
Mainz 05 - 1. FC Cologne 0: 1 (0: 0)
If you keep up with 1. FSV Mainz 05, you have to be a little patient.
Also in the sixth home game of the current Bundesliga season, the Mainz team remained at home without a win.
Against 1. FC Köln there was a 0: 1 (0: 0) for the Rheinhessen.
Cologne, which last won 2-1 away at BVB, had to do without Jonas Hector again in Mainz.
The captain is suffering from a complicated neck injury and has been absent from the ninth consecutive Bundesliga game.
The FC, which started well in Mainz, had bad luck in the 17th minute when the goal of the only 18-year-old Thielmann, who met on the basis of Rexhbecaj, was revoked after video evidence - the supposed scorer was just offside.
But after the break, they were allowed to cheer at FC.
The strong Duda, who came from Hertha BSC in the summer, passed the ball from the right flat in the middle to Rexhbecaj, who scored the 1-0 from around ten meters (55th).
From the 76th minute, Cologne had to fear for victory, because Duda saw the yellow-red after a foul.
The harmless Mainz, who are still in 17th place in the table, did not know how to use the excess.
SC Freiburg - Arminia Bielefeld 2: 0 (0: 0)

Freiburg's Nils Petersen was missing centimeters in the 39th minute to give fans and team a sigh of relief.
Shot from seven meters to the lower edge of the bar - the ball jumped onto the line.
It would have been the deserved lead in the home game against Arminia Bielefeld.
Alone, there was always a problem in the end.
In the 79th then the cheers: Vincenzo Grifo took the penalty - and converted.
Shortly afterwards, Woo-Yeong Jeong (90th) also met.
It was 2-0 in the end.
An important success for Freiburg: after nine games without a win, they celebrated their first home win of the season.
