At that moment, Wang Shuo, Götze, and Grosskreutz at the far post were all options to receive the pass.
But the problem was that Kuba's pass was too close to the end line.
He thought Piszczek could catch up to it.
But in reality, the Polish right-back wasn't that fast.
The end result was that Piszczek was just shy of reaching it. He could only watch helplessly as the ball crossed the end line, squandering a golden opportunity.
A minute later, another attack came from the right flank.
But this time, it was Piszczek passing to Kuba in the half-space.
According to Dortmund's designed attacking pattern, Kuba would attack the half-space while Piszczek made an overlapping run to draw Contento out of position.
This would allow Wang Shuo, Götze, and Kuba to link up for an attack in that specific area.
Dortmund had used this pattern frequently last season, and it was highly effective.
Bayern was prepared for it, so Contento tucked in to follow Kuba.
