The Borussia Dortmund U19s have missed out on the chance to reach the final of the Westphalian Cup after suffering an unfortunate 2-1 extra-time defeat to VfL Bochum at the semi-final stage.

Coach Benjamin Hoffmann's charges dominated the match but could not convert a spate of good chances in normal time that would have seen them through. Alaa Bakir and Enrique Pena Zauner scored to put BVB 1-0 and 2-1 up respectively, but Bochum twice levelled to force extra-time before scoring two further goals to seal the victory.

There was further bad news for the Black & Yellows as goalkeeper Luca Unbehaun sustained a knee injury that requires surgery. He will be out for the remainder of the season.
