Moukoko starts in Haller position
With the comeback of Edin Terzic as BVB trainer, the Dortmunders set a first football scent in the DFB Cup. In the constant rain in Munich, Borussia literally wet the overwhelmed third division team TSV 1860 with their speed and enthusiasm when they made it 3-0 (3-0) on Friday. Even the failure of the seriously ill Sébastien Haller in the center of the attack in front of 15,000 spectators in the sold-out Grünwalder Stadion did not matter at any stage of the 90 minutes. The outstanding Donyell Malen (8′), Jude Bellingham (31′) and new signing Karim Adeyemi (35′), who scored from a position suspected of being offside, ensured with their goals that the one-sided game was decided early on. In terms of football, BVB impressed against the promotion contenders in the 3rd division.
With Terzic, Borussia won the DFB Cup in 2021. After a year’s break, the 39-year-old has now replaced Marco Rose as coach. The “lions” actually wanted to prepare a “hot dance” for BVB, as coach Michael Köllner said. But the fans’ wish didn’t come true. Dortmund were in the game straight away and approached the task in a very serious and determined manner – above all Malen from the Netherlands. The 23-year-old quickly forced 1860 goalkeeper Marco Hiller to make the first save (4th). Shortly thereafter, he ran away from opponent Christopher Lannert, who had been substituted early on. Malen’s low shot into the near corner jumped from post to post and then into the net.

The hosts were also unlucky that third division top scorer Marcel Bär limped off injured (19′). Only the BVB ensemble played on the pitch. High-speed football overwhelmed the 1860’s defense. For the second goal, Malen, captain Marco Reus and goalscorer Bellingham were able to combine almost undisturbed. Malen also set up goal number three, with goalkeeper Hiller slipping the wet ball through his arms when Adeyemi shot. Terzic was able to do squad hygiene at the break by substituting veteran Mats Hummels, who was initially on the bench, for Niklas Süle. The new signing from FC Bayern initially formed the defensive center with Nico Schlotterbeck, who was signed from Freiburg. The national team duo was not even required.
After Haller’s failure: BVB coach Terzic relies on Moukoko in the storm center
A week before the start of the Bundesliga against Bayer Leverkusen, Haller’s failure in Dortmund played no role against the vainly fighting “Löwen”. 17-year-old Youssoufa Moukoko replaced Ajax Amsterdam’s 30-million signing in the center of attack, but without attracting attention. After the break, the still dominant Borussia managed the lead with a lot of ball possession. Reus failed freestanding to Hiller (59th). After the sixties were able to celebrate big evenings in the DFB Cup a year ago, for example by beating Dortmund’s archrivals FC Schalke 04, they now have to concentrate fully on their goal of returning to the 2nd division after the BVB lesson.
