Goal drought continues for Haaland – Dortmund in crisis – VG

Dortmund got off to a desperate start when Nico Schulz headed the ball into his own goal, under pressure from Andre Silva, after just 11 minutes.

The hosts tied just before the break for Mats Hummels. The veteran was smart and strong, putting the ball into goal from close range after a corner kick.

Four minutes before the end, Silva, the spearhead of Frankfurt, decided the game after a brilliant counterattack.

This means that Frankfurt is in fourth place with 50 points, which gives Champions League matches. Dortmund are now seven points behind in fifth place, with seven games to play.

Erling Braut Haaland received a lot of attention in the days leading up to the match after his father Alfie and agent Mino Raiola visited both Real Madrid and Barcelona earlier this week. Most expect Haaland, perhaps the world’s hottest transfer target, to leave the team dressed in yellow if the Champions League match breaks down.

– We are calm about this. We recently had a very good conversation. We are planning with Haaland, says Sebastian Kehl, who is in Dortmund’s management, to German Sky.

Haaland was also very involved in the clash against Frankfurt. He had two gigantic solo chances with Frankfurt goalkeeper Kevin Trapp before the break. One put him out with his right foot, while on the other he got a little too close to Trapp and thus couldn’t fool the ball by passing the goalkeeper.

In the second half, Haaland had a useful shot with his left foot from a small acute angle, but here too the 20-year-old didn’t hit the mark. The superstar became desperate several times in the match.

In total, Haaland has played 315 minutes since he last scored in extra time against Cologne in the 2-2 game before the national team half-time. More than five hours ago. Nor has he had goal points in this period. In the last seven home games for Dortmund in the league, Haaland has only scored one goal.

Haaland was coming off three straight starts without scoring with the national team against Gibraltar (3-0), Turkey (0-3) and Montenegro (1-0). It had never happened before in Haaland’s career since he went to Molde when he was 16, according to VG’s statistics service, Sofascore. Now the negative series has been extended to four games for the main phenomenon of Jæren.

The last time Haaland was scoreless three games in a row before this was with Borussia Dortmund from February 29 to March 11 last year. Then against Freiburg (1-0), Gladbach (2-1) and PSG (0-2).

Haaland has played at most ten games in a row without scoring, but has since started only two of these deals, according to Sofascore.
