Positive run continues – BVB U23 win away at SV Rödinghausen | OneFootball

Even before the first team labored to a hard-fought 1-0 victory against 1. FC Köln, Borussia Dortmund’s second team continued their run in the Regionalliga West. The BVB U23s remained unbeaten for the sixth consecutive time and celebrated a 4-2 win at SV Rödinghausen.

Without the injured Tony Reitz but with Cole Campbell, who had returned from the U20 World Cup, BVB did not get off to a good start. After 19 minutes, BVB once again fell victim to a loss of possession during the build-up, which the hosts used to take the lead through Eduard Probst. However, Borussia quickly shook it off and equalized in the 29th minute with a goal from Filippo Mane after a corner, followed by Michael Eberwein making it 2-1 in the 41st minute after a free-kick cross from Cole Campbell.

Kabar and Paulina seal the victory

After the break, BVB largely maintained control but failed to put the game to bed and conceded the 2-2 equalizer to Abdul Fesenmeyer in the 72nd minute. Once again, though, Borussia didn’t take long to respond and capitalized on another set piece to make it 3-2. Almugera Kabar headed in a corner from Campbell in the 75th minute to restore the lead, and Jordi Paulina then sealed the 4-2 final score with a penalty shortly before the end.

Coach Daniel Rios was pleased with the win and also with his team’s improvement over the course of the match: “It was the very difficult game we expected. Rödinghausen were brave at the start, and we initially had trouble creating clear chances. As the game went on, we got better and took our opportunities.”

With “three hard-fought points against a very good opponent,” Rios could check off the result and, at least for one night, enjoy fifth place in the table.
