Chapter 542: Dortmund tenaciously

In the first 15 minutes, Dortmund hit the post twice.

Just one step away from scoring a goal.

The Manchester United fans in the stands were sweating.

It can be seen that Dortmund really worked hard today.

From front to back, the entire Hornets team was in high spirits.

But Manchester United players are not soft persimmons.

Don’t forget, this is Old Trafford!
Dortmund attacked twice and almost scored.

Manchester United quickly found its rhythm.

In the 19th minute of the game, Xia Xing made a pass from the left and accurately found Lukaku!
Lukaku headers the goal!
The ball hit the post!
Pop the bottom line!

Just a little bit!

5 minutes later, this time Xia Xing went straight forward and Rashford succeeded in countering offside!
He took advantage of the opportunity when Dortmund's line was advanced and got a single goal!
Push the far corner of the goal!

Weidenfeller fell to the ground to save!

He rubbed it with his fingertips!
The ball bounced under the goal post and popped out of the baseline!
Manchester United missed the opportunity again!

Less than three and ten minutes into the game, although both sides failed to score, they each hit the goalpost twice!

This game is fierce!
It wasn't until the 41st minute of the first half that the score was rewritten.

The 19-year-old American forward Pulisic dribbled the ball into the Manchester United penalty area!

Take a low shot!

The ball hits the far post!
1 is better than 0!

Dortmund opens the scoring!

They finally scored!
Bose on the sidelines of the court excitedly pumped his fist in celebration!
victory is in sight!

Mourinho on the side was very peaceful.

The goal just now is completely a reflection of Pulisic's personal ability.

This young talent from the Dortmund youth academy entered the first team last season.

As a rotation and substitute, he contributed a total of 3 goals and 6 assists last season.

This result can be said to be qualified.

And his usefulness to the team is not only a terminator, but also a sharp edge in the midfield and frontcourt.

His speed and dribbling are at the top level of the Bundesliga, and he often opens up space on the wing.

And he can play both left and right changes, which allows Dortmund to get more tactical changes.

Even if he was not directly involved in many of the team's goals, he still had a lot to do with him.

In this game, he was very active on the right wing.

Despite Xia Xing's defense, he still found the gap in the middle where Xia Xing assisted the defense and created this goal.

The whistle sounded at the end of the first half and Dortmund returned to the dressing room with a one-goal lead.

In the second half, the team changed sides and fought again, and Manchester United quickly equalized the score.

Another Pulisic breakthrough from the right, but this time he failed.

Not just this time, most of the time his breakthrough from the right was blocked by Xia Xing.

His biggest contribution in this game was not scoring a goal, but limiting Xia Xing's defense to the maximum extent.

After all, he is Dortmund's important offensive point today.

In the 55th minute of the game, Dortmund launched a frontcourt attack and the ball was handed to Pulisic on the left.

Xia Xing had already anticipated his next move!
Grab him in advance and knock him away!

This time Xia Xing didn't compete with him on small skills and went straight to the body!
This 19-year-old young man's ability to fight is far inferior to Xia Xing!

Xia Xing steals the ball and sprints forward with the ball decisively!
This is a great opportunity for Manchester United!

At this time, Dortmund's formation is very high!
Xia Xing sprints with the ball!

Bartra grabs it!

Xia Xing tapped the ball lightly and passed through the crotch!
Keep moving forward with the ball!

Center defender Papastathopoulos follows!Xia Xing moved the ball to the outside and then quickly cut inside!
Without too many moves, he just got rid of the Greek defender!
This is the perfect combination of rhythm changes and top speed!
Wonderful!
On the penalty area line, kick and shoot!

The ball hits the net!

Veteran goalkeeper Weidenfeller had no time to react!

The ball hits the net!

1 is better than 1!

Manchester United pulled one back!
This conceded goal made Dortmund a little anxious.

Just now they rushed to press Manchester United, trying to expand their lead.

Unexpectedly, the ball was lost in the blink of an eye.

After the restart, they did not quickly return to the rhythm of the game in a short period of time, and were still irritated by the loss of the ball.

At this moment, Manchester United made another effort!
The same Xia Xing rushed to the middle to defend and directly intercepted Shinji Kagawa who was hesitant to take the ball!
The Japanese made a mistake!

Xia Xing dribbles the ball and accelerates!
Dortmund's backcourt is full of chaos again!

This time they learned the lesson just now, and many players stepped forward to block it!
They knew how powerful Xia Xing was, and they would never give him space or time to push him forward!

But Xia Xing didn't shoot this time.

Xia Xing seemed to unconsciously lean to the left when dribbling the ball, and Dortmund's defense also began to shift to the left...

Just at the corner of the penalty area, Xia Xing suddenly made a move!
The ball was knocked horizontally to the middle!

Pogba quick follow up!
Take a low shot!

The ball went straight into the bottom right corner of the goal!
Hit the goal post again!

This is the third time in the entire game for Manchester United!

But this time it bounced into the net!
2 is better than 1!

Manchester United overtook the score!
Wonderful counterattack, wonderful passing and shooting coordination!
Xia Xing rushed to Pogba, and the two hugged excitedly!

Pogba finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He hasn't scored in a while.

In the national team, he was in great form, but in the club he was always a bit lost and his form was up and down.

But today, he finally broke his scoring drought during this period!
The feeling is back!

In the following period, Manchester United clearly had the psychological advantage and was in better shape.

Two consecutive passes created opportunities.

However, neither Lukaku nor Rashford's shots successfully broke the net.

And Mkhitaryan was even more transparent in this game. He was replaced by Mourinho in the 60th minute of the game.

Since returning from injury, Mkhitaryan's condition has plummeted.

If he can't recover for a long time, maybe he will be on Manchester United's sale list next summer.

Dortmund was one goal behind. Not only was their mentality impatient, but their state was also up and down.

Several consecutive attacks were interrupted in midfield.

There were not many shooting opportunities in the second half.

If Manchester United's forwards hadn't seized several good opportunities, I'm afraid they would have fallen behind by a big margin.

It wasn't until the 88th minute of the game that Dortmund finally made their fans happy again.

In the backcourt, German forward Schürrle came on as a substitute and retreated to the center to grab the ball, but the ball was intercepted by him.

Pass the ball forward decisively!

The ball goes straight to Aubameyang!

Facing Manchester United's entire defense, Aubameyang gained speed!
No one can beat it!

The start was almost the same, but even if he dribbled the ball forward, the Manchester United defender felt further and further away!

This is Aubameyang's speed and ability to combine man and ball!
Quickly rushed into the goal, facing De Gea's block, he kicked and pushed!
The ball rolled into the far corner of the goal!

2 is better than 2!

Dortmund finally equalized the score!
This perfect goal saved the Hornets!
Bose was saved!
There is still hope for their Champions League qualifying situation! (End of chapter)
