TonGorgeous Erling Haaland and two 18-year-old football jewels Dortmund Saved from another setback. After a wild game, Harland beat TSG 1899 Hoffenheim 3-2 (0-0) in stoppage time, leading the team to the top of the Bundesliga standings for at least one day. Prior to this, two young players Giovanni Reyna (48th) and Jude Bellingham (69th) gave Dortmund the lead twice, but Christophe Baumgartner ( No. 61) and Munas Dabur (No. 90) each have an answer.
“This is a machine,” Bellingham of DAZN streaming service was enthusiastic about Harland, adding: “Hoffenheim was very good and brought us a lot of problems. But we showed our character, I came back and won the game.” Coach Marco Rose was also satisfied: “After all, this is an act of will. If you win this game 3-2, it will bring you peace and time.”
With this, BVB made up for the annoying loss a week ago Freiburg (1:2). On the other hand, in front of 25,000 spectators at Signal Iduna Park on Friday night, the guests suffered their first setback after nine consecutive games throughout the season.
In a tense game, BVB can’t blame the lack of mentality this time. The passion and commitment are right, not the lack of balance in the Dortmund team. Because, with all the offensive power, defense often wobbles worryingly.
The shocking moment of BVB
This is also for a reason, because the head coach Marco Rose has to improvise in the central defender again. In addition to the absence of defender Matshummels and the long-term injured Dan Axel Zagadu, Emrejan also had to pass in a short time due to muscle problems. Therefore, the Belgian Axel Witsel was once again asked to help behind. “In fact, we just built a construction site there for a while,” the coach complained. The black and yellow team played against the strong Hoffenheim team (received 3 yellow cards in the first 20 minutes).But first there was a shocking moment to survive as a shooter in Hoffenheim Andrei Kramaric Hit the post with his head (3rd place) early.
After an unstable start, Dortmund took control of the game. But like in Freiburg, there is a lack of creativity and precision when passing the ball.Despite all the advantages, the scoring opportunities in the first round are not enough to win the goalkeeper of Hoffenheim Oliver Bowman overcome.
Reina (No. 4)’s shot, Manuel Akanji’s (No. 9) header, and rookie Donjere Mullen (No. 40)’s attempts have failed against Hoffenheim in recent years. The number one player came to challenge, but in front of him it was very dangerous. Goalkeeper Gregor Kobel saved the Rose Elves from falling behind in a close block against Baumgartner (39th).
The second half started the same as the first half: Kramarić (46th) had a chance. But then BVB appeared. After the wonderful combination of Marco Royce and Bellingham, Renner scored his sixth goal in his 50th game. Anyone who thinks that BVB will gain more safety in the game if it leads the way is wrong. Hoffenheim appeared and had a great chance to tie the score through Klamarić (59th). Korbel is a great rescuer. Two minutes later, Baumgartner received a pass from Dennis Geiger and pushed the ball into the far corner. The Swiss was also defeated.
But Dortmund once again prepared the answer. After unsuccessful header defense, Bellingham scored the ball into the goal at 14 meters. But even after that, Hoffenheim did not give up. Kramaric’s free kick disbanded Kobel (74th), and there were other dangerous scenes. Erlin Harland Missed the preliminary decision (Nos. 82 and 87). Before Harland finally cheered, this should be revenge.
