BVB vs. 1. FC Köln: individual ratings and reviews
On Saturday afternoon, Borussia Dortmund faced 1. FC Köln in the Bundesliga. An unimaginative BVB conceded a 1: 2 home loss against team Domstadt after conceding two standard goals. All actors of the individual review:
BVB – TOR: Roman Bürki – score: 4.0
He kept some guest advances safe. He had no chance with the first goal from close range (9th), but at least he seemed unhappy with the second goal from Cologne (60th). With some centers in the penalty area, coordination with teammates was lacking.
DEFENSE: Thomas Meunier (up to 60 °) – Grade: 5.0
He was wrong on the right side several times, he also had quite a few tempo deficits in duels with the spirited Jakobs. Before the first goal with a questionable floor plan. There was little progress that day for one of BVB’s weakest players.
Thorgan Hazard (ab.60) – Note: 2.5
He took the left wing lane for the last half hour and secured a significantly greater pull to the door on the changed system. He immediately had good deeds and brought BVB back into play with a good goal (74). More was not possible after that.
Hummels mats – Note: 3.5
He was able to display a strong dueling record, but also got caught in a deep sleep in the decisive scenes. Defender too ball-oriented, especially at 0: 2. Sometimes he put a lot of pressure on his teammates with risky passes.
Manuel Akanji – Note: 3.5
He put together a lot of good deeds on the counter-defense, but he showed up on the last line with the ball sometimes shaky. His efforts to build the game were unpaid.
Felix Passlack (up to 68) – Grade: 4.5
Slightly pulled out of position on the left side. He also didn’t always look good in direct duels. He improved after the break and lacked the courage to move on. He only used his parole opportunity up to a point.
Giovanni Reyna (ab 68.) – Notes: 3.0
She did significantly more creativity in the tens area and immediately registered several successful boosts. Carefully put the connecting hit (74th) and threw everything to the end.
MEDIUM: Emre Can – Grade: 3.0
He started out with several minor mistakes, but then bit into the game with his usual physique. He put a lot of mindset and commitment in the balance, but was not rewarded for the great effort. Still not a bad performance.
Axel Witsel – Note: 4.0
In general, he rarely found amusing mediums, and his scenes from the offensive also repeatedly looked unhappy. Although he had a good share in the direct duels, he was too late in the counterattacks.
Marco Reus – Note: 3.0
He had very good scenes in the attacking third where he caused a lot of danger with a strong handling of the ball. He repeatedly created opportunities and sought more and more titles himself. Even before the break in an unimaginative BVB offense, by far the best player.
Julian Brandt (up to 68) – Rating: 5.0
He routinely occupied the wrong rooms and sometimes even stood up to his colleagues. He often dropped to eighth position, but the national player almost never made more than light cross passes.
Youssoufa Moukoko (ab 68.) – Note: 3.5
He initially brought a remarkable breath of fresh air to Dortmund’s attacking game. Put your fine finish right next to the door, but then dismantle it piece by piece.
Jadon Sancho – Note: 5.0
He was in motion a lot and therefore created some freedom. He hit the bar to get his first (fourth) grade, but then he acted too complicated. Very little emerged in the crucial phase. After the good performance against Bruges, a clear step back for the English.
ATTACK: Erling Haaland – Score: 4.5
Hanging completely in the air for long periods and waiting in vain for usable food. He put his first conclusion right next to the post (26th), almost symbolically forgave the knockout to equalize in the final minutes (90th). I lost a lot of balls overall and it was hardly a factor.
1. FC Köln – TOR: Timo Horn – Note: 3.0
He didn’t have to defend against a single shot in the first round. He later wobbled on a free kick from Reus (49th), but had no chance to defend himself from the goal. He saved the victory with a great reflection against Hummels (88th).
DEFENSE: Marius Wolf – Grade: 2.5
He made a very brave appearance against his former club and worked on the right side with a lot of effort. He was very confident in himself and made several good strides. Extended to Skhiri before the 1-0 header. On the defensive, at least occasionally, with little wobbles.
Rafael Czichos (up to 66) – score: 2.5
He was very focused for a long time and the BVB offense offered practically nothing. He caught many balls in the penalty area and defended very carefully in the air. Over the ball with air up.
Jannes Horn (from 66.) – Grade: 3.0
Czichos was unable to fully replace after his injury. Although he still won important duels, the coordination with his teammates was not immediate.
Sebastiaan Bornauw – Note: 2.0
As a central defender, he always kept his back free. Always ready to intervene when necessary. In general, he had to intervene less frequently than his two people at his side, and compiled a series of very important clarification actions for this.
Sava-Arangel Cestic – Note: 3.0
He started his Bundesliga debut with a positional error, but the uncertainty was shaken from the start. He anticipated Dortmund passports very well at times, he was almost always on time with his opponent. But sometimes he seemed too brash.
Ismail Jakobs – Rating: 3.0
He showed a lot of commitment on the left and won some points against Meunier. He was able to reliably get into the top positions in the first race, but made wrong decisions several times in the final third at crucial moments.
MIDDLE FIELD: Ellyes Skhiri – Grade: 1.5
He played an error-free game in the middle, constantly shifting attention to keep spaces tight. He gave his team the advantage after a corner kick (9th), later he even made it 2-0 (60th) after a corner kick. Game man!
Elvis Rexhbecaj (bis 73.) – Note: 2,5
He became noticeably more confident after the first goal, then repeatedly played very strong passes in the transition game. In his duels, however, he usually lacked robustness. He had to leave later injured.
Dominick Drexler (from 73) – no rating
In the finals he dealt with some relief, otherwise he was exhausted on defense with a compromised start.
Ondrej Duda – Note: 2.5
He was able to hold the ball in the area of ten. Then he repeatedly started good offensive impulses from Cologne. With his strong corner kicks he prepared the two shots from Colonia (9th, 60th). A very important factor for success!
Salih Özca – Note: 4.0
He had his scenes in forward motion, but he still flew well under the radar overall. He often lacked assertiveness, was practically invisible after the break.
ATTACK: Jan Thielmann (up to 90) – grade: 3.5
He worked a lot up front and constantly tried to create excess numbers. He gathered important accents in pressing. He played on leather to help the team but without great reflexes. His turnover started at 1: 2 (74th).
Kingsley Ehizibue (from 90.) – no rating
Came in extra time to get the result over time.
