Record in sight – only Lewandowski and Aubameyang ahead of Guirassy | OneFootball

Serhou Guirassy missed his first chance, set up by Tom Rothe, with a somewhat careless finish in a one-on-one with guest keeper Frederik Rönnow and then shot over the goal from a tight angle. But after that, the center forward once again became the match-winner in Borussia Dortmund’s 3-0 victory over 1. FC Union Berlin, extending a personal streak in the process.

With his goals to make it 1-0 and 2-0 against Union Berlin, Guirassy has now scored in seven consecutive Bundesliga matches for BVB, spanning two seasons. Only two players in Borussia’s long history have managed to score in more consecutive Bundesliga games.

Five Games Short of Lewandowski’s Record

The leader, with goals in twelve consecutive matches, is Robert Lewandowski, who scored in a series of games in 2013, just before his move to FC Bayern Munich. Fittingly, second place is held by one of Lewandowski’s successors, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The Gabonese striker scored at least one goal in ten consecutive matches in 2015.

Guirassy still has a relatively long way to go to reach the record, but in his current form, anything seems possible for the 29-year-old. With goals in the upcoming matches at 1. FC Heidenheim (13.09.), against VfL Wolfsburg (21.09.), and at 1. FSV Mainz 05 (27.09.), Guirassy could first catch up with Aubameyang—and that is surely the goal of the BVB striker.
