Marcel Sabitzer (3/10) – Sabitzer lost the physical battle as he was bullied by Bochum's midfield. He also could not stop Hofmann and was subbed right after halftime.
Pascal Groß (4/10) – Pascal Groß was everywhere and nowhere at the same time in this match. As much as he has the freedom to move around the pitch, the veteran does not seem to have any impact in any areas.
Julian Brandt (3/10) – Julian Brandt had a promising start to the first half. However, he tends to disappear when things get ugly. That lack of rhythm and consistency from Dortmund's number 10 obfuscates his shining moments.
