Borussia Dortmund managed to beat SV Darmstadt 98 to take advantage of Leipzig’s failure and move closer to the Champions League positions. Jadon Sancho has had minutes and is sharp and has a very good attitude.
The first half was an exchange of blows with few chances for both teams. On the home side, Skarke had the best chance, wasting a golden chance inside the area. The wide player volleyed slightly over the crossbar. And of course, in a fight the normal thing is that talent ends up emerging and prevailing. In the 24th minute, Brandt opened the scoring by crossing the ball to finish off a great run by Bynoe-Gittens. Fullkrug later received a challenge inside the area and asked for the maximum penalty, but the referee ignored it. Malen managed to increase the advantage with a shot that went close to the post.
Part two to banish the ghosts of the past
Edin Terzić’s men come into the match on the back of a six-game winless run, with four defeats and two draws, including elimination from the Pokal at the hands of Stuttgart. The coach put Sancho and Reus on the field, with the idea of closing the game and not leaving any points on the way. However, the bad result put a strain on their legs and they went through a stretch of uncertainty, where they didn’t back down but didn’t finish second either. Kobel avoided 1-1. Sancho, who came to the game wanting to conquer the world after months of not playing, does not understand fear, being conservative or anything other than going second. Every time he catches the ball he tries something, although sometimes he lacks a little burst due to inactivity. In ’77 he attended Reus so that the German, who was obviously angry at the substitution, pushed at will a death pass for the Englishman.
Darmstadt 98, which sank in the standings, was left without any response and just tried not to accept a defeat. Sancho kept trying, gave a lime and another sand. He still needs to meet his new colleagues. In the 91st minute Moukoko joined the party with a shot into the middle after two great moves inside the area.
