Borussia Dortmund-Club Brugge (2-0, game in progress)
Erling Braut Haaland’s autumn adventures continue, and in Tuesday’s Champions League game against Club Brugge, Jærbuen achieved another record.
When he scored the 1-0 goal in just 20 minutes into the game, the 20-year-old became the fastest to reach 15 Champions League goals in tournament history.
The phenomenon has reached an incredible 12 games in the most generous club tournament in Europe.
The fight still continues. The article is up to date.

Leadership goal before the 20th minute was played
Braut Haaland was already close in two minutes when a great shot from distance hit the root of the post, but a quarter of an hour later he should nevertheless be 1-0 at the net.
Jadon Sancho, who had regained confidence from the beginning, lined up the Norwegian with a nice stick, and only with Simon Mignolet there was never any doubt. Braut Haaland took aim, charged and fired, and with a clever swing through the nearest post, it was 1-0 at Signal Iduna Park.
– Erling is almost obsessed with success.
Thus, the Norwegian superstar scored his 15th career goal in the Champions League and set another record under his name.
The Norwegian was also the fastest in five goals (in three games, a record he shares with Didier Drogba) and the fastest in reaching ten goals (in seven games) in Champions League history. The old record for the number of matches to 15 goals was held by Ruud van Nistelrooy and Roberto Soldado, who used 19 matches.
Tuesday’s 1-0 was also one of the Norwegian’s 32 goals in 31 games in all Dortmund tournaments since the transfer from Red Bull Salzburg in January.
Sancho bent wonderfully
Just before half-time, the home team doubled the lead, and this time Haaland found himself playing the role of spectator as Jadon Sancho himself dispatched the ball to the net.
The Englishman showed that he has more tricks than goal posts in the repertoire, when he beautifully placed a free kick over the wall and on the crossbar behind a hopeless Mignolet. So he went to the break for Dortmund with a 2-0 lead on their own ground.

Starless witches in strange circumstances
By the way, the visitors had to cope without their offensive profile Emmanuel Dennis in the tough away game. According to Belgian Het Laatste Nieuws, the 23-year-old Nigerian got off the team bus when he was not allowed to sit in his favorite seat.
Bruges coach Philippe Clement is said to have confirmed that the man, who scored two goals last season in the shocking Champions League win over Real Madrid, was above Tuesday’s deal on disciplinary grounds, but not gave more details beyond that. Now a solid fine is probably waiting for the main star.
P.S! Before the game, Braut Haaland was the top scorer in the Champions League this season alongside Liverpool’s Diego Jota, Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford and Juventus’ Álvaro Morata. They all had four goals.
