BVB player ratings: Beier shines, Yan Couto rides his luck | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund looked for a long time like the sure winner in the 2-1 win in Cologne. In the closing stages, the Black and Yellows almost threw away their victory. The BVB players in the BVBWLD individual ratings.

Gregor Kobel: Hardly tested for long stretches. Saved everything that needed saving. Had no chance with Kaminski’s deflected shot. Rating: 2.

Waldemar Anton: Stabilized the defense and loudly directed his teammates. Also started to struggle in the closing stages. Deflected Kaminski’s shot, making it unstoppable for Kobel. Rating: 3.

Nico Schlotterbeck: Tried to spark the attack with his diagonal passes. Solid for most of the match. He too wobbled in the final minutes. Rating: 3.

Ramy Bensebaini: Unremarkable but solid performance. Things got turbulent in stoppage time after he went off. Rating: 3.

Julian Ryerson: Had Said El Mala largely under control, only let him escape dangerously once (33’). Hardly noticeable going forward. Rating: 3.5.

Macrel Sabitzer: Made little impact. Rating: 4.

Felix Nmecha: Recently highly praised, today hardly noticeable. At least was the fastest player on the pitch. Rating: 4.

Daniel Svensson: Had his hands full with Niang, won most of his duels for BVB. Ran 12.9 kilometers. As expected from him. Rating: 3.

Maximilian Beier: Involved in almost every Borussia attacking move. Provided the assist for Guirassy’s goal and then scored himself. Rating: 1.5.

Julian Brandt: Unremarkable. Played a brilliant one-two with goalscorer Beier before BVB’s second goal. Showed his quality there, but it wasn’t enough. Rating: 4.

Serhou Guirassy: Reacted lightning fast for Dortmund’s opening goal. Strong first-time finish just before halftime (41’). Rating: 2.5.

Substitutes:

Yan Couto: Very lucky with his handball in stoppage time. Should have been a hand penalty for Cologne. Was not in the picture during Kaminski’s goal-scoring cross. Rating: 4.5.

Fábio Silva: Almost won a penalty (66’). Committed, but not dangerous in front of goal. Rating: 4.

Niklas Süle, Karim Adeyemi, Jobe Bellingham: No rating due to short playing time.
