As a result of a corner match, in favor of the London team, caused by a shot from Reece James that the local goalkeeper, the Swiss, repelled a corner kick Gregor Kobel, and after game time, after failed shots in the opposite area of Kai Havertz and joao felix in the same action, the clearance from the back of Raphael Guerreiro came the maelstrom that unleashed Adeyemi from the center of his field towards the other goal.

His only shot between three sticks was a goal. He also scored another three, one out and two blocked, according to UEFA’s official statistics. Actually, the Borussia Dortmund he only connected on two shots in the frame of Kepa Arrizabalagathe goal and another to Julian Brandt. No other. Chelsea launched eight. Two by Enzo Fernández, one by joao felix against the crossbar, two more from Reece James, one from Hakim Ziyech, another from Kai Havertz…

Enzo Fernández was not, although their match was remarkable, with a chance at the end, in the 95th minute, which he blew. cock; or Joao Félix, whose performance was at a high level, especially in the first half with both chances that, if they had solved more intelligently, would have given another point (one, in the 31st minute, he threw this; another, in the 38th, after a good maneuver, it fell against the crossbar), by Mykhalo Mudryk. The three of them, their team in general, played more than they got to Signal Iduna Park.

neither Jude Bellingham, the 19-year-old star desired by all of Europe, in the energetic encounter, without nuances or middle terms, presented by both teams. He offered his football, his power, his qualities… He even played a second yellow card.

The scorer is Adeyemi, transferred this summer from Salzburg in Borussia Dortmund for 30 million euros, in a season that exceeded the expectations of the 21-year-old German international, without minutes in the Qatar 2022 World Cup, without producing the goal-scoring or the assists or games expected in his first year in the Bundesliga, far from all that dazzled in the previous campaign: 23 goals in 44 games.
