BVB player ratings: Guirassy clinical, Beier poor on return | OneFootball

After the 0:1 defeat to Leverkusen, Borussia Dortmund suffered their second straight loss with a 1:2 (0:1) defeat in Hoffenheim. The BVB players in the BVBWLD individual ratings.

Gregor Kobel: He was not the reason BVB lost in Hoffenheim. Saved everything there was to save. Had no chance with Kramaric’s well-placed handball penalties. Rating: 2.

Niklas Süle (until the 42nd minute): What an unfortunate display. Making his first start in more than two months, he had to go off injured before halftime. Unintentionally gave away the first penalty. Had not brought any stability to the defense before that either. Rating: 4.5.

Waldemar Anton: Shaky in the first half like the entire BVB defense. Good passing rate (91 percent), but a rather mixed duel success rate (70 percent). Rating: 3.

Nico Schlotterbeck: Won just 36 percent of his duels. A catastrophic figure. When Moerstedt looked set to run past him, he picked up a yellow card. Rating: 5.

Julian Ryerson: Covered a lot of ground and worked hard. But the Norwegian delivered terrible crosses. Only two of his ten deliveries found a teammate. Rating: 4.

Jobe Bellingham: Brought no structure to BVB’s build-up play and was almost completely anonymous. Rating: 5.

Carney Chukwuemeka: On the pitch for the full 90 minutes for BVB for the first time. But that was already the only positive. Weak passing and duel success rates. Rating: 5.

Guirassy with a huge chance

Marcel Sabitzer (until the 71st minute): He also offered no inspiration in midfield. The exception: a fine pass to Svensson in the 65th minute. Had to come off after 71 minutes. Rightly so. Rating: 4.5.

Daniel Svensson (until the 71st minute): The tireless runner’s night ended early as well. Came off second best against Coufal. Offered nothing going forward. Rating: 5.

Maximilian Beier: Ineffective at his old stomping ground. No dribbles, no crosses. Rating: 5.5.

Fábio Silva (until the 60th minute): At the start, one of the few bright spots for Dortmund. But he was left isolated. Rating: 3.5.

Substitutes:

Ramy Bensebaini (from the 42nd minute): He stabilized the defense. Won 80 percent of his duels and made no mistakes. Rating: 2.5.

Serhou Guirassy (from the 60th minute): Registered just 15 touches of the ball. Barely involved for a long time. Then he struck and did what a center-forward has to do. Rating: 2.5.

Samuele Inácio, Julian Brandt (from the 71st minute): Were supposed to provide attacking impetus, but failed to do so. No rating due to limited playing time.
