BVB celebrate Nmecha: From fringe player to match-winner | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund celebrates a brilliant performance by Felix Nmecha in Copenhagen. The midfielder becomes the match-winner with his first brace and sparks excitement among BVB fans.

Felix Nmecha led Borussia Dortmund to an important away victory in the Champions League—and made a real statement in the process. In BVB’s 4-2 win at FC Copenhagen, the 25-year-old scored his first brace for the Black and Yellows and impressively demonstrated why he is currently considered one of the team’s most in-form players.

“I’m very happy for Felix, who I believe has scored his first brace in his career,” praised coach Niko Kovac after the match on DAZN. Sporting director Sebastian Kehl was also full of praise: “He played a very good game, he was the deserved man of the match.”

Nmecha himself remained humble after his stellar performance. His celebration after the 3-1—hands raised to the sky—was an expression of his deep faith. “Not by my strength, but by His grace,” he later wrote on social media. The midfielder has long been known for his open religiosity—a topic that is repeatedly discussed in Dortmund. But this time, he let his performance do the talking.

Nmecha and Bellingham shine in BVB’s victory in Copenhagen

His opening goal was particularly impressive: a powerful long-range shot into the top corner. “I just hit it with full force and it went in,” Nmecha said with a smile to Sky Sport.

Alongside Nmecha, his midfield partner also impressed: Jobe Bellingham. The young Englishman had recently faced criticism, but in Copenhagen he delivered a strong response. “Jobe has been under some criticism in recent days… but the coach trusted him, and I think the boy did very, very well today,” Kehl explained.

Nmecha’s development is also gaining recognition outside the club. National coach Julian Nagelsmann recently called him up to the German national team again, and TV expert Lothar Matthäus sees him as a possible successor to Jude Bellingham: Nmecha “has what it takes to follow in Bellingham’s footsteps at BVB a bit.”

In Dortmund, they now hope that the midfielder will continue his upward trend. His form and humility currently make him the face of a resurgent BVB—and the match-winner in Copenhagen.
