Guirassy extends scoring streak, BVB striker nets for Guinea | OneFootball

Although there is still some way to go to catch up with record-holder Robert Lewandowski, who scored in twelve consecutive Bundesliga matches in 2013, with his goals against FC St. Pauli (3:3) and 1. FC Union Berlin (3:0), Serhou Guirassy has now also scored in seven league games in a row for Borussia Dortmund across seasons. The 29-year-old continued this streak in the national jersey as well.

With the Guinea national team, Guirassy celebrated a 3:0 victory in Somalia on Friday, keeping alive their chances of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup in the USA, Mexico, and Canada. After 22 minutes, the BVB striker was in the right place after a corner and scored the 1:0 lead, which was extended in the second half by an own goal and by Ousmane Camara.

Crucial Duel with Algeria

Guirassy was on the pitch for 85 minutes and was able to watch the final phase from the bench, knowing that a presumably much tougher and at the same time extremely important match awaits on Monday.

Then, Guinea will face the already runaway group leader Algeria in Qualifying Group G, who have 18 points and are in the best position to qualify directly for the World Cup as group winners. For Guinea, currently fourth in the table with ten points, it’s likely only about second place—and as many points as possible—in a four-way battle with Uganda (12), Mozambique (12), and Botswana (9). Only the four best of the nine group runners-up will get another chance at a World Cup spot through the play-offs.
