Three goals from BVB players – Chukwuemeka in his Austria debut | OneFootball

The first batch of matches scheduled during the international break has been completed. No fewer than three Borussia Dortmund players got on the scoresheet, with Carney Chukwuemeka even netting in his very first appearance for Austria.

Ramy Bensebaini, meanwhile, recorded the biggest win of all the BVB players involved with World Cup participants Algeria. They beat Guatemala 7-0 in a friendly played in Genoa. Bensebaini, who started the match, was substituted in the 69th minute.

Norway, who will also take part in the World Cup, had chosen the Netherlands as their friendly opponents and traveled to Amsterdam for the game. Julian Ryerson played the full 90 minutes but was also unable to prevent Norway’s 2-1 defeat.

Two BVB players faced each other directly. Nico Schlotterbeck featured for Germany, while Gregor Kobel was in goal for opponents and hosts Switzerland. Germany won 4-3, without Kobel being at fault for the defeat due to any weaker performance. Waldemar Anton was in the squad selected by Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann, but did not play.

In the U21 European Championship qualifiers, Jobe Bellingham also played the full match for England. The game in Andorra ended in a rather surprising 1-1 draw, with the English only equalizing in the 89th minute from the penalty spot.

Like Bensebaini, Marcel Sabitzer and Carney Chukwuemeka were also comfortable winners with Austria in their friendly. Austria hosted Ghana in Vienna. The team won 5-1 under former Schalke coach Ralf Rangnick, who had long courted Carney Chukwuemeka, leading him to ultimately choose Austria as his national team. Yesterday then brought his debut in his new sporting homeland, which he crowned with a goal after coming on in the second half. Sabitzer was substituted shortly before the end.

Serhou Guirassy was also able to celebrate a goal with Guinea. He scored the 89th-minute equalizer for the final 2-2 in the friendly against Togo, having played the full 90 minutes.

A day earlier, Salih Özcan and Daniel Svensson each came out on top in the World Cup play-offs. Özcan reached the World Cup play-off final with Turkey thanks to a 1-0 win over Romania, but did not feature. Daniel Svensson won 3-1 with Sweden in Warsaw against Ukraine, contributing on the pitch from the 77th minute onward.

Sweden will now face the Czech Republic at home in the final for the last remaining World Cup tickets. Turkey will take on Kosovo, which will also determine whether more players from the BVB squad will be involved at the 2026 World Cup.

Borussia Dortmund youth talent Luca Reggiani featured for Italy’s U19 side. In the 3-0 win over Hungary — a European Championship qualifier — Reggiani played the full 90 minutes.
