Borussia Dortmund players beat the Heidenheim team 4:2 (3:1) in a game that was interesting until the referee's final whistle and the penalty in the third minute of stoppage time.
When someone scores four goals, it is generally considered a convincing victory, even if they concede one or two. However, it was not so easy that Borussia managed to secure three points in their “Westfalen” against, from this season, the European Heidenheim.
It didn’t take long for the first goal. In the 11th minute, the star of this match, Karim Adejemi, had excellent penetration from the left flank; he passed the ball to Malen, who hit the visitors’ net from a turn from the edge of the penalty area. Six minutes later, it was already 2:0, and Adeyemi was again in the spotlight.
This time Brandt saw a great winger run in from the right, who easily beat goalkeeper Miller. However, Heidenheim’s answer followed through Preinger, who headed the Millionaires in the 39th minute.
Adeyemi decided to shine once more, so after the penetration of Julian Ryerson and the great trick of Girassi, he managed to shake the net for the second time and make it 3:1.
In the second half, Heidenheim attacked from the start but waited until the 74th minute for the first real opportunity, which he took advantage of when Browning reduced the score to 3:2 from the penalty spot.
And then in the 90th minute, defender Traore raised his hands after a corner for Dortmund, and the referee pointed to the penalty spot, which was later only confirmed by VAR. Emre Can was the man of the decision; he very calmly and routinely sent Miller to the right side and placed the ball in the middle for the final 4:2.
