With record debutant Youssoufa Moukoko, Borussia Dortmund takes advantage of Bayern Munich’s mistake. In Berlin, BVB wins the first match against Hertha BSC with 16-year-old Moukoko 5-2 The goal show does not deliver Moukoko, but once again Haaland.
One two three four! An Erling Haaland in world-class form led Borussia Dortmund to a major victory in the race to the top of the Bundesliga in the historic debut of super talent Youssoufa Moukoko. BVB won at Hertha BSC after falling behind thanks to a furious four-pack from the Norwegian star forward 5: 2 (0: 1). Moukoko, who turned 16 on Friday, became the youngest player in 57-year Bundesliga history in the 85th minute.
Haaland (47th / 49th / 62nd / 80th) with his seven to ten goals this season and Raphael Guerreiro (70th) scored the guests to three points, Matheus Cunha (33rd / 79th, penalty kick) scored for Hertha. Dortmund took advantage of the 1-1 draw of their championship rivals Bayern Munich against Werder Bremen a few hours earlier to their advantage. With 18 points, Dortmund are just one point behind the Munich leaders.
Haaland show
Before the game, BVB sporting director Michael Zorc had warned of Moukoko’s excessive expectations. “What is happening in the media about the child is going too far for me. I don’t like that,” he said. So Favre put him on the bench first, but brought him in when victory was certain. Haaland, who was named “Golden Boy”, Europe’s best under-21 player, stormed to the front after crown chaos on the Norwegian national team on Saturday. Dortmund pressed in the opening phase without appearing in front of the opposing goal. During this phase, BVB used to leave the ball to the hosts, Dodi Lukebakio (8th) shot over Dortmund’s goal after a counterattack. Only then did BVB play its combination game a little better. After the interaction between Mahmoud Dahoud and Haaland, the ball landed on Marco Reus (17th), whose shot from the left was easily rejected by Hertha goalkeeper Alexander Schwolow.
The Berliners were strong in conquering the ball and played fast from behind, the 1-0 through Cunha was exemplary. After Schwolow’s tee shot, Lukebakio passed the Brazilian, who ran from about 20 meters. In the second half, Dortmund played as transformed and with more pressure to act. It paid off quickly. To make it 1-1, Haaland only had to push after a cross from Emre Can, and he took the lead moments later with a powerful shot from an acute angle following a presentation by Julian Brandt. The will of the Berliners was broken. Haaland in particular did what he wanted with the Berlin Abwehr.
Then Moukoko came for Haaland and replaced Nuri Sahin (also from Dortmund), who had made his debut at 16 years and 335 days; it was a perfect night for BVB.
