BVB is striving to win the group in St. Petersburg. Despite the victory, Julian Brandt and Nico Schulz have a black evening. The SPORT1 individual criticism.
Borussia Dortmund secured the group victory with a hard-fought 2-1 victory at Zenit St. Petersburg.
The BVB, where head coach Lucien Favre spared some regular staff, managed to turn the tables despite an early delay.
The BVB players in the individual criticism
MARWIN HITZ: The SChweizer came to his second CL appearance this season. To give Bürki a breather, Favre let him take another breath. At the goal, the Swiss was powerless. Otherwise, a secure backing. Immediately after the restart, he distinguished himself with a strong double parade (46.).
FELIX PASSLACK: Sponge on the right wing only with. The vote with Hazard and Reus was not right. Passlack fought as usual, but also showed that he is playfully limited.
From 58. GIOVANNI REYNA: The US teenager replaced varnish and was supposed to boost the offensive game a little in the final phase – but he succeeded only to a limited extent in the short time. Reyna did a good job backwards.
LUKASZ PISZCZEK: A mixed appearance of oldies, who scored the 1-1 equaliser. Piszczek made the Haaland and instinctively dusted in front of the goal. The 35-year-old achieved his first (!) CL goal in 54th game. Was then replaced for Sancho.
From 72. JADON SANCHO: The Dortmund shooting star of last season was only replaced in the final phase and prepared the victory goal by Axel Witsel. Otherwise, however, with an inconspicuous performance.
MARCO REUS: Another chance missed to apply to Jogi Löw for an EM nomination. The captain was in the starting eleven, but – apart from his post shot shortly before the break – was hardly involved in dangerous offensive attacks. SPORT1 note: 4.5
THORGAN HAZARD: Mixed appearance of the Belgian, who played many inaccurate balls. If he still had the best chance in the 19th minute, not much came after that.
From 83. ANSGAR KNAUFF: The U19 player made his debut in the top class, but came too late for a rating.
