(Duisburg 0–5 Borussia Dortmund) Erling Braut Haaland (20) was scoreless in the first official club match of the season, but still stood out during Borussia Dortmund’s performance in the match.
The Norwegian goal hunter did not seem entirely satisfied when he was substituted after just under an hour of play in the cup match against 3rd division Duisburg.
There were no goals, but a clearly obvious Haaland contributed his: Just before the break, he found Dominic Volkmer leaping over the ball and accelerating towards the goal. The Duisburg defender tackled him from behind as last defender and received a direct red card.
ESPN describes the 20-year-old’s jump as “magical.”
The same can be said for the subsequent free-kick goal by Thorgan Hazard, who doubled the ball in the middle in surprisingly beautiful fashion to make it 3-0 for Borussia Dortmund.
Then Jadon Sancho had scored a penalty, while compatriot Jude Bellingham had scored on the debut after a beautiful pass from Hazard.
Sancho was the big talking point before kick-off due to the long-term connection to Manchester United, but Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl repeated in a television interview with ARD before kick-off that “he will play in Borussia Dortmund this season. “
After the break, Axel Witsel scored a single goal off a Giovanni Reyna free kick that knocked the keeper offside.
Erling Braut Haaland was substituted shortly before the time was played and was replaced by Marco Reus, who returned to play after a seven-month break due to injury. He spent just three seconds doing what Haaland rarely failed in 57 minutes. After being taken out by Sancho, Reus put the ball in the goal in his first intervention.

Haaland shook his head a bit when he was replaced, but he can take comfort in the fact that he can start the series on fresh legs. On Saturday at 6.30 pm, Dortmund will host Borussia Mönchengladbach at the opening of the Bundesliga.
Then begins Jærbuen’s quest for the title of Bundesliga top scorer. Last season he managed to score 13 goals, sixth on the list, despite coming from RB Salzburg in January. Now he starts as Bayern Munich’s top scorer, Robert Lewandowski, who took the title thanks to 34 hits last season.
