1/17
In the second round of the DFB Cup, BVB struggled but deserved to prevail against outsiders Braunschweig. While a problem child continues to leave doubts, a top performer once again led the way. The notes and individual reviews.
–
2/17
MARWIN HITZ: Once he had to seriously intervene against Bär, the Swiss was there – just like in the rest of the game. There were no longer any real exams. Note 3.
–
3/17
MATEU MOREY (up to 83rd): To be found everywhere, whether offensively during cross runs or as support in the defensive center. Strong pass rate (87.5 percent). Showed one or the other weakness in duel behavior Grade: 3.
–
4/17
MATS HUMMELS (up to 46th): Calmed the black and yellow nerves after just twelve minutes by pushing in from a short distance. Defensively, he was not guilty of anything. For the break he had to go out battered. Note 3.
–
5/17
DAN-AXEL ZAGADOU: Was often involved in the development game of Borussia and solved the tasks extremely well. More than 90 percent of his passes found a buyer on the way back to their old strength. Note 3.
–
6/17
RAPHAEL GUERREIRO: interpreted his position extremely variably, either very aggressively or in the center. A lot went through him (127 ball actions), he underlined once again his importance for the BVB game. Grade: 2.5.
–
7/17
THOMAS DELANEY: Gave the sole six and did a solid, calm job. To the front, however, completely without accents – but that wasn’t his main task. Note 3.
–
8/17
JUDE BELLINGHAM (up to 76th): Had several strong conquests, but also some mistakes in the game. Keep moving into the pits and finishing well there. Its potential is unmistakable. Grade: 3.5.
–
9/17
JULIAN BRANDT (up to 63rd): Tried to pick up the book and picked up the balls deeply. However, missed two big chances and acted very wrongly offensively. Slightly improved in round two. Grade: 4.5.
–
10/17
JADON SANCHO: The Hummels goal was prepared by the recently hapless Englishman with a corner, otherwise he couldn’t get beyond good approaches for a long time. He initiated a Bellingham degree well, scored in stoppage time. Note 3.
–
11/17
GIOVANNI REYNA (up to 83rd): Cheerfully swapped sides with Sancho, but it was hardly mandatory near the penalty area. Attempted to graduate twice, but remained harmless. His duel rate: 30.8 percent. Grade: 3.5.
–
12/17
STEFFEN TIGGES: The debutante had a brilliant head chance after a good quarter of an hour. Its strong start-up behavior also provoked the Brandt possibility. But should have closed the bag in the 85th. Note 3.
–
13/17
MANUEL AKANJI (from 46th): Fitted seamlessly into the BVB defensive and ensured that Braunschweig did not have a great chance to score. Won all of his aerial battles. Grade: 3.5.
–
14/17
MARCO REUS (from 63rd): What was true of Brandt also applied to the captain. The effort could not be denied to him, he only appeared once: When he sent Sancho to 2-0 shortly before the end. Grade: 3.5.
–
15/17
AXEL WITSEL (from 76th): Shortly after being substituted on, he finished well above the opponent’s box. Otherwise, he helped bring the win home. Without rating.
–
16/17
THOMAS MEUNIER (from 83): Replaced Morey as right-back for the final minutes, he had no influence on the outcome of the game. Without rating.
–
17/17
THORGAN HAZARD (from 83): The Belgian came for Reyna, his job record shows a single ball contact. Without rating.
