Thus, Dortmund crawls up the back of rival Bayern Munich, who only managed a draw against Werder Bremen early Saturday. Now Haaland and his teammates have 18 points, one point behind the reigning champions.
Borussia Dortmund didn’t look like themselves in the first half and had to see Hertha Berlin take the lead, but came out as a completely different team after the break.
Three Haaland goals in just over a quarter of an hour into the second half set aside any doubts about where the three points belonged. Raphaël Guerreiro also participated in the scoring party with his online knowledge twenty minutes before the end, before Hertha reduced the penalty ten minutes before the end. Soon after, Haaland took the lead again and set the score at 2-5.
– It was a bit difficult at first. We were close a couple of times, but we had to move on. I liked the goals, they were good goals, so I’m happy, says Haaland to V Sport, according to TV 2 Sporten.
Early Saturday, he won the prestigious “Golden Boy” award.
– It was a good message to receive. It was a free motivation, and I took it with me to the fight. You saw it. I had to show a bit, and I felt like I did. Now there is full focus on the Champions League, Haaland says.
Hertha goalkeeper Rune Almenning Jarstein watched the entire match from the bench.
The bull of Jæren
After a slow start to the game, Haaland shone again after 18 minutes of play. With a fantastic first touch, the Norwegian let go, but the shot went straight into the diaphragm of a Hertha player.
But it was Hertha who took the first stab. Brazilian Matheus Cunha hit the ball 20 meters away and fired loose. An extremely hard shell flew into the nets behind Roman Bürki in the Dortmund cage.
It was also a break, but just two minutes into the second half he crashed into Bryne’s prodigy. Emre Can’s post found Haaland, who came loose on the back post and easily opened for the tie.
Two minutes later he was back in front. Julian Brandt ran forward and unleashed the ball at the perfect moment against Haaland, who took the lead from an oblique angle.
But you shouldn’t go there. A terrible pass from Plattenhardt landed on the legs of Haaland, who gracefully circled the goalkeeper and put the advantage of four goals.
Played in victory
With twenty minutes to go, Raphaël Guerreiro decided to join the party. The Portuguese fought with the ball when the Hertha defense could not clear and put the ball into the net.
Mattéo Guendouzi gave Hertha a penalty ten minutes before the end of regulation. He sped Cunha well into goal, but Haaland wasn’t finished: Spisskometen made it 2-5 and his tenth for the season almost immediately after.
Shortly after, the 20-year-old fell off the pitch and gave way to Youssoufa Moukoko, who the day after his 16th birthday became the youngest player in the 1. Bundesliga.
There were no more goals at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin.
The next game for Haaland and Dortmund is the Champions League meeting with Bruges on Tuesday.
