SUNDAY 12 JANUARY 2014: Dortmund’s Under-19s came away from their league game at table-toppers Schalke with a 1-0 victory courtesy of Hannes Bongard’s 15th minute strike. The home side couldn’t clear a corner and the young centre-back prodded home the only goal of the game. The win lifts BVB to 4th in Group 3, while Schalke stay top.
