LEIPZIG, Germany (Reuters) - Borussia Dortmund should have scored three or four goals in their 2-0 loss at RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga on Saturday, coach Niko Kovac said after his team slumped to defeat despite having 25 shots.

Xavi Simons and Lois Openda scored to give Leipzig a 2-0 lead but Dortmund did their best to fight their way back into the contest and had several chances to score in the second half.
