The black and yellow celebrates their first victory at the club World Cup in the USA. But Dortmund has to fight hard for the success against a surprisingly strong opponent. After a good hour it suddenly becomes exciting again.

That was a hard work for Borussia Dortmund. The BVB was able to achieve its first three at the club World Cup in the USA with a 4: 3 (3: 1) tremor victory against the Mamelodi Sundowns. With the record champion from South Africa, the team of coach Niko Kovač had a lot of trouble at times, even 0-1 behind. In the end, however, the Dortmund were to clever for the courageous underdog.

Felix Nmecha (16.), Serhou Guirassy (34th), Jobe Bellingham in his starting team in the starting team (45th) and Khuliso Mudau (60th / own goal) scored for BVB, Lucas Ribbeiro (11th) surprisingly, IQRAAM Rayners (62.) scored the connection. Lebo Mothiba (90th) then given Dortmund for the victory again.

The BVB will initially take over the league lead in group F, but can theoretically be displaced by Fluminense in a win against Ulsan on Sunday night.

At well over 30 degrees Celsius at 12 noon local time, both teams made an unusually large number of mistakes at a leisurely pace that BVB used a little better. After four points from two games, Dortmund will again play against HD Ulsan from South Korea in Cincinnati against HD Ulsan at the end of the preliminary round.

“We have to get people in who can also handle the weather,” said Kovač before the game. However, this only partially worked. The Yan Couto, who came into play for Julian Rerson for around 25 million euros of Manchester United, took insufficient chance. Again and again the Brazilian made position errors and sloppy bad passes.

In his first game, Bellingham, on the other hand, repeatedly indicated for Dortmund the great reinforcement of the 19 -year -old Englishman. Shortly before the half-time whistle, the Adeyemi replacement also achieved the preliminary decision with its 3-1. The brother of former BVB professional Jude Bellingham came from Sunderland for a good 30 million euros.

And NMECHA, who replaced Marcel Sabitzer, brought BVB back into the game with its equalizer after a quarter of an hour. However, he also benefited from an incredible goat by the South African national keeper Ronwen Williams, who had played the ball into the foot without need.

From that moment on, a lot ran in favor of the Westphalia, who themselves were lucky that the team from Pretoria could not really take advantage of the many defense carvers of the Dortmund. After a good half an hour, Guirassy brought BVB into the lead for the first time after the measure of Julian Brandt.

In the leadership of the South Africans, Ribeiro used a bad mistake from Waldemar Anton and then sprinted away Ramy Bensebaini, who grown into the void.

After the change, the game was almost decided by Daniel Svensson by the flank deflected by Mudau into its own network. But the two goals in the second half brought tension again.
