Erling Braut Haaland appeared to struggle in front of goal in tonight’s game against Zenit St. Petersburg, but in extra time he let go.
Historical figures
Both Borussia Dortmund and Haaland fought against Zenit. The Norwegian missed a great opportunity in the first half, but Jærbuen rarely leaves the field without scoring.
With tonight’s goal, Haaland has 12 goals in 10 Champions League games.
– There are figures for the history books, said TV 2 commentator Øyvind Alsaker.
Jadon Sancho scored the first for Dortmund on a penalty. Haaland had to wait for his score, but in overtime he played only with the goalkeeper, and then he was safe.
– It feels very good. There is not much more to say about it, Haaland told British television with a smile.
– It was an important goal for me today, and an even more important one says, continues, and aims for Dortmund to lose the first game of the group stage against Lazio.
May be maximum scores
The Norwegian also scored in a 3-1 loss to Lazio in the opener. Now that he has two goals in two games, the TV 2 soccer expert believes he may be the top scorer in the Champions League.
– Of course it can be. Lewandowski is the favorite to be the top scorer, but now Haaland has two goals in two games. As this group is, I think Dortmund can win by three or four goals in some games. He is a phenomenal and completely unusual Norwegian. We have one of the best soccer players in the world, says Jesper Mathisen.
I fought for a long time
Borussia Dortmund won the match 2-0, but they fought for a long time against Zenit Saint Petersburg. Haaland had his chances, but the Russian champions were compact.
– Zenit are a good team and they made it difficult for us. There are three points that apply, Haaland said.
Dortmund now have three points after two Champions League games. In the second group match, Club Brugge and Lazio played 1-1. Both are ahead of Dortmund with four points.
