Borussia Dortmund won 2:1 away to Azerbaijani club Sabah FK in the third round of the Champions League league phase. Both of the German team's goals were scored by forward Serhou Guirassy, who found the net in the 10th and 53rd minutes. Dortmund thus secured three important points after a run of three games without a win. Deutschlandfunk ↗
However, the German favorite did not deliver a convincing performance in Baku. Sabah, the Azerbaijani champions who previously managed to eliminate Prague's Slavia, caused Dortmund significant problems and fought for every inch of the pitch. Despite the gameplay shortcomings, the visitors avoided another setback following their previous 0:1 loss to FK Bodø/Glimt. sport.sk ↗
Guirassy confirmed his key role in Dortmund's offense. His goals were decisive for the team's victory, which had been struggling with results in recent matches. The performance against Sabah, however, showed that the German club will need to improve its play if it wants to score points regularly in the competition. WDR Nachrichten ↗
After the match, attention also turned to the conditions at the Olympic Stadium in Baku. According to media reports, Dortmund's players left the venue shortly after the match without showering, as they had been informed that showering in the locker rooms was not allowed. Dortmund thus leaves Azerbaijan with a victory, but also with an unusual experience off the pitch. Tagesspiegel ↗
