The midweek round of Bundesliga fixtures produced an upset on the Baltic Sea, with KSV Holstein Kiel upsetting Borussia Dortmund 4:2 on January 14, 2025.

Here are the KSV vs Dortmund player ratings from German newspaper Bild. 6 is the lowest player rating possible under the German system, and as you can see here, several of Borussia Dortmund’s players and their coach Nuri Sahin have been given that number for their performance against Kiel.

Three Holstein Kiel players- Bernhardsson, Machino and Harres, got the best 1 player rating against Dortmund.

This was only Kiel’s third win of the season- they’re second from bottom in the league. Dortmund are 9th in the table and are in serious danger of missing out on the UCL places at this rate.
