Before the “Hertha” – “Borussia” match, the main character in the media was Dortmund prodigy Yussuf Mukoko. Yesterday Mukoko turned 16, which allows him to play in adult football: the U-17 and U-19 leagues, the young striker has long overcome,
The first half was not successful for Borussia. Favre returned to the scheme with three centers and, perhaps, did not choose the right moment for it. Borussia players often fumbled the ball and it seemed they just didn’t understand how to play with each other. “Hertha” looked good on defense, and in some places she went on the attack. After one of these forays, Cunya scored a beautiful goal, firing a powerful shot from 25 meters. Borussia lost their best moment in the first half before the break: Guerreiro, instead of hitting himself, for some reason tried to pass to Holland.
But, as it turned out, Holland will still have its moments. And it implements them with deadly efficiency.
In the 47th minute, the Norwegian broke away from Boyat and closed the cross to Jan’s far post. Two minutes pass and Holland hits Hertha’s offside trap after a Brandt pass. Another 13 minutes and the 20-year-old striker scores a hat-trick. He started the attack himself, snatching the ball from Hertha’s midfield, and then shot without a chance for Shvolov. “Hertha” swam in full and immediately conceded another fourth goal from Guerreiro.
In the 79th minute, it seemed that the hosts had managed to restore the intrigue in the match (Kunya penalty after Akanji’s foul on Genduzi), but Holand had other plans. As soon as “Borussia” spread the ball from the center of the field, as Holland designed poker. 23 goals in 22 Bundesliga games is phenomenal. Only after 2: 5 did Mukoko enter the field, but failed to score with effective actions.
The victory over “Gerta” allowed “Borussia” to get one point closer to the leader “Bavaria”. For the Berliners, it was already their fifth loss in eight games. “Hertha” is the thirteenth.
