Even denied the services of their captain, Jakub Blaszczykowski, Poland’s European championship qualifier in Warsaw still had plenty of Dortmund interest.

Lukasz Piszczek and ex-BVB Robert Lewandowski started for the hosts, Mats Hummels and Erik Durm for the World champions, with Roman Weidenfeller and Matthias Ginter on the bench. In addition Mario Götze and Antonio Rüdiger, both with Borussia in their past, also started for the German team.

Despite enjoying much more of the ball and creating any number of good chances to score, the DFB eleven were unable to notch their second consecutive win in their qualification campaign for 2016. No, it was Poland who were able to celebrate a historic victory, their first over a German side. Piszczek played a huge part in the win sending in a perfect cross from which Milk opened the scoring on 51 minutes, while Lewandoski’s not exactly text book challenge on Durm led to Milk adding a second goal to make the final score 2-0.
