BVB player ratings: Inácio shines, Meyer hardly tested | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund advances to the 2nd round of the DFB-Pokal after a 5-0 win over Oberliga side HEBC. The BVBWLD player ratings for the BVB pros.

Alexander Meyer: A solid performance as Kobel’s replacement. Barely tested, but made a good save against Köhler (27’). Rating: 3.

Julian Ryerson (until the 46th minute): Set up three goals before the break and fully earned his early night. Rating: 1.5.

Filippo Mane: Played calmly and without mistakes. Apart from one risky sliding tackle in his own box, he delivered a very mature performance. Rating: 2.5.

Waldemar Anton (until the 66th minute): Had to unexpectedly engage in a few footraces against the passionate Hamburg amateurs in the first half, but handled it all very reliably as the leader of the defense. Rating: 3.

Daniel Svensson (until the 58th minute): Solid defensively and right where he needed to be in attack when he finished off a move for the 2-0. Played somewhat more defensively than Ryerson. Rating: 3.

Marcel Sabitzer: At times looked quite sloppy in his passing and made some uncharacteristic errors. Set up Inácio’s 3-0 with an artistic layoff, but did not fully exploit his potential against the fifth-tier side. Rating: 3.5.

Joey Veerman: Had to pull the strings against Hamburg’s purple-and-white defensive wall. Did that well enough and rewarded himself with a fine through-ball assist for Silva’s 5-0. Rating: 3.

Albert with a strong debut

Samuele Inácio (until the 77th minute): After his frustration red card on the previous Bundesliga matchday, the 18-year-old was bursting with joy to play. He rewarded himself not only with an excellent brace before the break, but also worked hard tracking back. Rating: 1.5.

Felix Nmecha (until the 46th minute): Showed his athletic advantages whenever he picked up the pace. But in an advanced role, he too rarely got into promising situations. Rating: 3.5.

Mathis Albert: The 17-year-old made his first start and was Dortmund’s most active attacker during the sluggish opening phase. Brave in one-on-one situations, though the American still lacked a bit of vision with the final pass. Rating: 2.5.

Fábio Silva: In the first 45 minutes, he showed clear signs of poor control, technical flaws, and bad decision-making. He redeemed himself and his critics in the second half when he coolly slotted home low for the final 5-0 after Hamburg lost the ball. Rating: 3.5.

Substitutes:

Carney Chukwuemeka (from the 46th minute): Replaced Nmecha in midfield. Showed some good dribbles at pace, but once again missed the moment to release the ball in time. Rating: 3.5.

Maximilian Beier (from the 46th minute): Surprisingly came on as a right-back for Ryerson, but was unable to make any decisive attacking impact. Rating: 3.5.

Kaua Prates (from the 58th minute): Came on just before the hour mark to gain match practice. Did not stand out either positively or negatively. Rating: 3.5.

Luca Reggiani (from the 66th minute): Slotted seamlessly and faultlessly into the defense, had a huge amount of possession in the build-up, and radiated enormous composure. Since he was hardly seriously tested defensively, his performance remained inconspicuous. Rating: 3.

Konstantinois Karetsas (from the 77th minute): No rating due to limited playing time.
