Club World Cup: Dortmund Top Group – Results & Analysis

Club World Cup

As a group winner, Borussia Dortmund has fixed the entry into the round of 16 of the FIFA Club World Cup. The German Bundesliga club held the upper hand in Cincinnati against Ulsan HD from South Korea and passed the fluminense in the table of group F with seven points. The Brazilians (5 points) went after a goalless draw in Miami against Mamelodi Sundowns (4) from South Africa as second over the finish line.

Dortmund dominated the action before the break without the ÖFB team player Marcel Sabitzer on the bench. Serhou Guirassy in particular kept coming to focus, but remained lucky in the end (2nd, 19th, 27th). Julian Rerson (16th) and Jobe Bellingham with a volley (27th) also awarded good opportunities.

Jude Bellingham’s brother was then involved in the tour. Defender Daniel Svensson promoted his cross -played ball to the mesh (36th). Jo Hyeon Woo was powerless, but subsequently prevented another goal (40th).

First Ulsan goal only after the break

Immediately after the restart, the point eloses South Koreans in the person of Kang sang Woo for the first time on the Dortmund goal, Gregor Kobel was on the post (48th). In general, the outsider held better, but the compensation was not in the air. Rather the 2-0 of the BVB. In one or the other chance, such as Julien Duranville (67th), the efficiency was missing in order to be able to close the sack prematurely.

Fluminenes, like the Dortmund, survived the group phase unbeaten. The draw against the South Africans was nevertheless more to be classified in the disappointment category. Due to the climb, it was still properly celebrated afterwards.
