Interim Borussia Dortmund manager Mike Tullberg’s first game in charge of the senior team after Nuri Sahin’s sacking saw BVB draw 2:2 at home against Werder Bremen on Matchday 19. Here are the player ratings for BVB vs Werder from well known German newspaper Bild, as well as the team of the week for Round 19.

Tullberg would’ve feared the worst when Nico Schlotterbeck’s red card reduced Dortmund to ten men in the 21st minute. Schlotterbeck got a 5 (6 is the worst rating; 1 the best) from Bild for his performance as did Pascal Gross. BVB then raced to a 2:0 lead, only to squander it in the second half, and had to settle for a point in the end.

(1 very good, 6 very bad)

As you can see, not a single starting player on either BVB or SVW got a 2 or better. Leonardo Bittencourt however managed a 2 off the bench (he was a 60th minute substitute for Senne Lynen). Bittencourt scored the goal that kickstarted Bremen’s comeback and was also the only player on either side to be named in Bild’s team of the week for this round.
