It was hot. Incredibly hot. What I remember most about May 19, 1986 in Dortmund's Westfalenstadion is the tropical heat.\n\nWith one exception, the four identical stands offered no shade, which is probably why I spent most of the match hanging around in front of the South Stand.
There, unlike usual, you could feel an absolutely tense atmosphere. BVB supporters knew, just like the rest of us, that if we failed to overturn the 2:0 first-leg defeat against Fortuna Cologne, that would be it.\n\nBorussia Dortmund would be relegated from the Bundesliga for the second time since 1972.
