Erling Braut Haaland with an unusually anonymous effort in Saturday’s home loss to Dortmund.
BORUSIA DORTMUND-KÖLN 1-2
Borussia Dortmund suffered a loss at home to Cologne on Saturday afternoon. Two set pieces by the visitors ensured Cologne’s first win this season
Haaland would be back at home at Signal Iduna Park, but this time it wasn’t the big, positive headlines that would characterize the Norwegian’s efforts.
In extra time, Haaland had a gigantic opportunity to equalize, but the forward seized a crazy opportunity to secure points.
– Maybe it’s the biggest mistake of your career. He won’t sleep well tonight, Bisgaard Sundet said of the opportunity.
After Cologne took a break with a one-goal lead without Haaland showing much, the disappointing verdict came from the experts in the Viasat study.
– There was something that had not been there before. They seem a bit screwed up. Haaland has only hit the ball seven times. He is extremely small for a forward. They have to go up a couple of points, Fjørtoft said during the break.
Early cold shower
Jadon Sancho got his first big chance of the game when he shot the crossbar with his left foot in the fifth minute.
But then, ten minutes into the game, Dortmund took a real cold shower. A corner kick created a mess in the penalty area with a goal almost scored by Ellyes Skhiri. It looked like the ball was deflected on entering, but he’s claiming it!
A shock start for the home team.
The ball was stunned at the near post, in the room for which Haaland was responsible.
Before Saturday’s game, Haaland scored 23 goals in his first 22 league games. The record is held by Uwe Seeler with 23 goals in his first 25 games.
Haaland had a great opportunity just after the first half was played, but the Norwegian forward took advantage of it when he finished off with his right foot just outside the nearest post.
Identical score
After 60 minutes, the visitors doubled the lead. Skhiri’s score was like watching a 0-1 replay in the first half.
Julian Brandt and Haaland came back in the duel at the near post and in the back of the field, the Cologne player was completely unmarked and put another ball into the net.
– Haaland’s mistake. It is exactly the same situation. Brandt and Haaland rotate him to the first post. It is unforgivable. They fall asleep at the rear of Dortmund’s defense, commentator E claim Bisgaard Sundet said.
Dortmund have scored 17 of 20 goals in the second half of this season.
Also this Saturday, they shouldn’t be scoreless off the pitch after the break. Top talents Gio Reyna and Youssoufa Moukoko were eliminated almost halfway through the second half and immediately sped up the home team.
The former served the ball to Thorgan Hazard, who cut it to a quarter of an hour by the end of the match.
Dortmund produced several good chances to equalize towards the end of the match. Haaland had an incredible opportunity well into extra time, but the Norwegian missed an open goal from close range.
Saturday’s victory is Cologne’s first victory since March 6.
