Kovac credits tactical change for Dortmund victory - Soccer News
Briefly

Niko Kovac attributed Borussia Dortmund's 2-0 victory at St. Pauli to a tactical shift at half-time, which enabled the wingers to be more involved in the game. Following a scoreless first half, the team scored two goals in the second half, with Serhou Guirassy and Karim Adeyemi finding the net. This win marks Dortmund's second consecutive Bundesliga victory. Defender Nico Schlotterbeck emphasized the importance of maintaining a clean slate at half-time to manage the game's dynamics effectively.
Kovac decided to alter his side's approach after the break, and Guirassy's goal five minutes into the second half paved the way for their win.
What was important then, of course, was the first goal. Who scores the first goal today is on the winning path. We told the boys that.
It was important to go into half-time with a 0-0 draw. There have been games where you're behind, and then it gets difficult.
We are more compact, we are more united, we don't allow so much. It has to be Borussia Dortmund's ambition to keep a lot of clean sheets.
