PBP: Reyna: Fortuna Düsseldorf v Borussia Dortmund, 6/13

Alfredo Morales is on the other bench. No Steffen yet.

Haaland is back, on the bench.

Thought I caught a glimpse in warm-ups of Reyna and Haaland working on their Tik Tok moves.

 

Game is on FS1 and Fox Deportes

 

Boring game so far.

 

Let's see if the 2nd half is more interesting.

 

No subs at half for either team it seems.

 

Dusseldorf gonna grab a goal at this rate. BVB getting frustrated. Ref finally calls a foul.

 

Dusseldorf looking dangerous for the first 8 minutes of the half. Dortmund nothing at all.

 

I'd pay good money to see a bruising, tactical, Serie A team play BVB. Talk about a contrast. As for this game, this is the sort of half Reyna could thrive in.

 

Hakimi fires a low cross about 50% too hard and the attack goes for naugh. Hakimi is really good at running attractively with the ball for 40 yards then flubbing the attack.

 

Get Reyna on. Outside Witsel BVB's midfield is frustrated and ineffective. Haaland on.

 

Hard to argue with subbing on Haaland. On for Witsel - very aggressive sub.

 

A very strange one imo.

 

BVB looks flustered with horrible body language. Rarely if ever seen it from them. And Halland helps make something out of nothing. Wow.

Talent usually wins.

 

Goal Dortmund. Ball fell to Guerriro. He had a v nice volley.

 

Guerreiro hit the absolute shit out of that.

 

yea that was a great strike. great play by Haaland on the initial foray as well.

 

Aaaaaand it gets called back due to a handball. I don't think there was any intent but these are the rules now I guess.

 

Not a hand ball I think. Does VAR get angles we don't? Was hard to see.

 

I’m calling for Reyna in for Hazard soon.

 

The ref let Dortmund get overly physical and boy that was a dangerous play.

 

Well if Reyna does get on he'll have a chance to make a difference. Certainly a different scenario that his usual "milk it out" role.

 

Reyna on for Hazard 74’. Injury delay.

 

gio on.
