BVB: Ramy Bensebaini steps up as a leader

Borussia Dortmund found their spark again against Cologne, clinching a narrow yet invaluable 1-0 victory that reignites their momentum in the Bundesliga. Among the key contributors to this success, Ramy Bensebaini stood out with a commanding and composed performance, once again confirming his crucial role in Niko Kovač’s setup.

A flawless defensive display

Stationed on the left side of a back three, the Algerian international delivered a complete performance. Dominant in duels, precise in his tackles, and calm when building out from the back, he gave his direct opponents no breathing room. With ten ball recoveries and six duels won, Bensebaini embodied BVB’s defensive discipline throughout the match. Even more impressively, not a single Cologne player managed to get past him—a testament to his focus and positional awareness.Beyond his defensive prowess, the Paradou AC academy graduate also made his mark in the build-up play. Boasting an 88% pass completion rate, he helped Borussia’s play flow smoothly and quickened transitions, especially when looking for Serhou Guirassy’s runs in behind.

This top-class performance, praised by the German press, confirms Bensebaini’s growing influence as one of Dortmund’s key men. Thanks to this win, the club ends a two-game winless streak and climbs back onto the podium. Solid, disciplined, and relentlessly consistent, Ramy Bensebaini continues to prove he’s a reliable asset for Algerian football and a cornerstone of the BVB defense.
