Hamburg 0-0 Borussia Dortmund: BVB frustrated by relegation strugglers

Borussia Dortmund's revival was halted by lowly-Hamburg as the two sides played out an uninspiring 0-0 draw at the Imtech Arena.


A tightly-contested game saw the visitors dominate possession, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Marco Reus predictably at the heart of Dortmund's best attacking efforts.


However, despite an early injury to Johan Djourou, a well-drilled Hamburg defence held firm, while Mohamed Gouaida and Zoltan Stieber were both denied by visiting goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller.

The result deals a blow to mid-table Dortmund's hopes of securing European football for next season.

Relegation-threatened Hamburg, meanwhile, remain without a win in their last four games having drawn a 13th blank of the season.

Dortmund had won on only one of their previous nine visits to the Imtech Arena, and they once again found Hamburg in spirited mood.
