😮 Dortmund star in the thick of it: first Bundesliga row, now cup joy | OneFootball

Samuele Inacio is currently going through a turbulent spell in a Borussia Dortmund shirt. After being sent off with a straight red card shortly after coming on against HSV on Saturday, he had reason to celebrate in the cup.

Against Oberliga side HEBC Hamburg, he contributed two goals to the Black and Yellows’ 4-0 half-time lead (41st, 45+2).

In the league, meanwhile, Dortmund will have to do without the 18-year-old for the time being, as he has been handed a two-match ban by the DFB sports court. After being sent off, the attacker had left the pitch and thrown a bottle at the BVB logo in the players’ tunnel.

Waldemar Anton had already defended him over the incident after the match. “Those are emotions, my God. It’s part of it. I don’t think he meant it that way. It looks bad, but those are the feelings that come out of a person. I prefer a player like that, who gets angry, to one who doesn’t care,” said the defender.

Inacio’s frustration has now turned into celebration, as these were his first two DFB-Pokal goals for Dortmund.
