(RB Leipzig – Hertha 2–1) In his first match from the start for RB Leipzig, Alexander Sørloth (24) scored his first goal for the club. But the goal pass was one of the lucky ones.
Assistant midfielder Dayot Upamecano turned into an inadvertent wall play when the French defender fired a shot that hit Sørloth and returned to Upamecano, who then hit the ball into the net.
Thus, Sørloth got his first assist as a RB Leipzig player. So the game had only eleven minutes.
The goal came just three minutes after Hertha Berlin took the lead in Leipzig. Jhon Cordoba finished off a great pass from the left, finishing the goalkeeper without problems.

Silence over noise
Sørloth has made headlines here in Norway recently after VG revealed that he was involved in a dispute with the management of the Norwegian national team in what would be a group meeting with the various parts of the team after the playoff loss. against Serbia.
Here is VG’s timeline of what should have happened:
In an interview shown on Viasport after the game, he was asked about the noise from the national team.
– I’m very well, and I don’t want to comment on anything beyond that, replied the Norwegian striker.
He was asked several questions on the subject, but the answer was always the same: “We take it internally.”
Earlier this week, he was sitting on the bench for the entire match as RB Leipzig kick off the Champions League group stage with an impressive win over Turkey’s Istanbul Basaksehir. Before Saturday’s deal, he had received a total of 81 Bundesliga minutes in three innings.
Against Hertha Berlin he was able to play the whole game, but never had the great chances against Hertha goalkeeper Alexander Schwolow & co. Rune Almenning Jarstein watched the entire game from the bench.

The forward, who scored 33 goals for Trabzonspor last season, had several good appearances, but all came in constructive play. He made several good passes and repeatedly displayed his fierce dueling strength, but had no shots on goal and regularly hit the ball with his back to Hertha Berlin’s goal.
– It was a disinterested match of a forward who wants to score, says Jan Åge Fjørtoft of Viasat in Viasat’s studio after the match.
He had a chance in the butt. The Norwegian was supposed to hit a post, but completely slipped. It almost ended up being a goal as it hit the crossbar.
However, that was the closest he came to scoring.

Sørloth got the whole game at the top against a team from the capital that was reduced to ten men after 50 minutes. Dutchman Deyovaisio Zeefuik was substituted after the break, but within four minutes he incurred two yellow cards and thus received a running order.
Throne on top
Julian Nagelsmann pitched one offensive player after another. Danish Yussuf Poulsen and playmaker Dani Olmo entered. However, it was alternate number three who was going to be decisive.
Hertha Berlin was played lower and lower, and when midfielder Willi Orban joined the attack, it became too much. The midfielder was placed on the ground and Marcel Sabitzer safely put the penalty in the goal.
