Dortmund celebrates opening victory: Guirassy inspires with a double pack!
At Signal Iduna Park today, fans saw a thrilling game as Borussia Dortmund defeated 1. FC Union Berlin 3-0. It was a strong home game for the Black and Yellows, who were able to secure their first three points of the new Bundesliga season after a disappointing start to the season. This was preceded by a 0-0 draw against a strong FC Bayern, which raised expectations before the game. Everything went well today and the team showed what they can do.
The man of the day was undoubtedly Serhou Guirassy. The striker put together a brace, scoring both goals in the first and second half. Whether in the 45th or 61st minute, Guirassy showed his class and made optimal use of the precise assists from Yan Couto and Maximilian Beier. “[kicker] reports that Guirassy was supported by Felix Nmecha in the 84th minute, who made it 3-0 and thus set the final point.”
Exciting gameplay
The game started somewhat cautiously, with Dortmund taking the initiative but failing to create much of a chance in the first 24 minutes. Guirassy had a good opportunity in the first half, but was unable to capitalize on it. But the tide turned after Couto's precise cross shortly before the half-time whistle, when Guirassy reacted quickly and netted the lead. It was an important moment that brightened the mood in the stadium.
The second half started with more pressure from Union Berlin, who definitely showed the potential to score a goal. But Dortmund held firm and took advantage of the counterattacks. The second goal came in the 61st minute when Guirassy was there again, this time after a brilliant back pass from Beier. According to [bundesliga.com]'s reporting, this goal was crucial for the rest of the game.
Debuts and injuries
Another highlight of the afternoon was the debut of Aarón Anselmino, who presented himself strongly and impressively demonstrated his skills. But not everything was without difficulties: Jude Bellingham and Andrej Ilic had to be treated during the game, but were able to continue playing. Their injuries reflect the physical intensity of the game.
Union Berlin, who previously celebrated a 2-1 win against VfB Stuttgart, had some good attempts but couldn't find a way to overcome Dortmund's defense. According to [sports.yahoo] they had some opportunities, but ultimately lacked the efficiency to make the game more open.
Conclusion
With this win, Dortmund not only got their first three points of the new season, but also confirmed their dominance in the home games against Union Berlin. Dortmund had not even given up a point in the history of all previous home games against Union. Today it was that time again - a clear victory that points to the positive approaches that coach Niko Kovac would like to emphasize this season.
The next challenge is already waiting for Dortmund, and it will be interesting to see how the team will develop further. But today they celebrated a deserved three-pointer, while the fans at Signal Iduna Park continued to cheer long after the final whistle!
