Three assist and two goals. Not bad for the Bundesliga bully Erlin Haaland, who enjoyed his new league debut and warmed up the hearts of Dortmund supporters, who are hoping that they can be champions after nine long years: Borussia – Frankurt 4-1. Newly appointed coach Marco Rose had a great debut at the Westfalen stadium, managing his team well, and unlike last season, there were no problems – Borussia dominated from start to finish without any doubts during the game. And for the fans who were worried that Jadon Sancho’s departure might be a problem, his successor Giovanni Reyna was there to score a goal and leave no doubt that Dortmund’s sporting sector knows how to do their jobs.7 – @BlackYellow has won on the first matchday of the Bundesliga for the 7th season in a row, equalling the record held by Bayern Munich (7 from 2012 to 2018). Dream. #BVBSGE pic.twitter.com/z9Zo0CwN9N— OptaFranz (@OptaFranz) August 14, 2021 The Borussia doubters might say, that this was not a real picture of Borussia’s strength, as Frankfurt is not nearly the same team as last season, but nevertheless, the Millionaires played a really good, attacking, free-flowing football which was a joy to watch. Last season, teams like Augsburg, Arminia and Mainz were giving them trouble, even defeating them, but it looks like this will not be the case this year.After scoring a hat-trick in the first round of the German Cup last week, Erling Haaland came back to provide three assists and two goals and once again show his dominance in the Bundesliga, matched by only Robert Lewandowski. His scoring partners tonight were Giovanni Reyna, Thorgan Hazard and captain Marco Reus. If Borussia continue to play like this in the upcoming games, the Bundesliga season will be a thrilling place.
