BVB escapes Union's clutches, courtesy of Guirassy's dual-goal performance
Borussia Dortmund Secures Impressive 3-0 Victory Over Union Berlin
In a dominant performance, Borussia Dortmund claimed a 3-0 victory over Union Berlin in the German Bundesliga. The match saw a standout display from striker Serhou Guirassy, who scored two goals and provided an assist, becoming the match winner.
Christopher Trimmel, a Union Berlin player, acknowledged Dortmund's strength and praised Guirassy, stating that the team is incredibly strong and the top player is indeed a top performer.
The game began with a surprise as Maximilian Beier, Union's forward, found himself in the starting lineup despite recent rumors of changes. Beier's performance was mixed, with a notable assist to Guirassy's first goal, but overall, he struggled.
Union Berlin barely created any scoring chances throughout the game, a testament to Dortmund's defensive prowess. Forward Fábio Silva, recently signed for 20 million euros from Wolverhampton Wanderers, was not in the squad due to adductor problems.
Dortmund's best chance to take the lead resulted from a massive individual error by Union's Tom Rothe, who played a short back pass to goalkeeper Frederik Rönnow. The visitors capitalized on this error, with Guirassy scoring in the 44th minute.
Seven minutes after the second goal, Guirassy scored again, beating Rönnow with a lob after a pass from Maximilian Beier. Dortmund's third goal came in the 81st minute, with Felix Nmecha sealing the victory.
Aarón Anselmino made his debut for Dortmund, as several regular players were injured or suspended. The Argentine player Sebastián Palacios started in the Borussia Dortmund lineup due to the unavailability of Emre Can, Nico Schlotterbeck, Niklas Süle, and Filippo Mane.
Despite the clear victory, Dortmund's team still has much to improve, as they squandered a 3:1 lead against FC St. Pauli in their first game of the season. Ilic's header in the 47th minute, almost conceding an equalizer from a corner, was one of the few dangerous moments for the visitors throughout the game.
Notably, Guirassy intercepted the ball and was one-on-one with Rönnow, but missed the chance. Despite this, his performance was enough to secure a well-deserved victory for Dortmund, who have never dropped a point in a Bundesliga game against Berlin at their own stadium.
