Sami Hyypia praised his battling Bayer Leverkusen players
as they kept themselves in the title hunt with a 1-0 win at Borussia Dortmund.
Son Heung-Min scored the only goal of Saturday's game 18
minutes into the first half to earn Leverkusen all three points in a contest
that ended with both sides reduced to 10 men.
Defender Emir Spahic was sent off for the visitors,
before Sokratis Papastathopoulos was dismissed in injury time for Dortmund
following a second bookable offence.
The win leaves Hyypia's men four points behind Bundesliga
leaders Bayern Munich, and the Finn was quick to hail the importance of the
victory.
"I am especially pleased for the team," Hyypia
said. "In the first-half, we really showed what's possible.
"After the break, we fought hard and we won, the
victory was important because Dortmund were only three points behind us (before
the match)."
