09 start with nine points: how the Paderborn match unfolded
· Yahoo Sports
BVB – with Nico Schlotterbeck back after an almost three-month injury layoff, but among others without the Greeks Konstantinos Karetsas and Giannis Konstantelias – were celebrating the opening goal early on. After repelling an away attack, Serhou Guirassy played a long ball from deep inside his own half to Fabio Silva, who, after a positional error by Scheller and chased by two Paderborn players, ran through on goal, rounded goalkeeper Noll and slid the ball over the line from twelve meters out (5’).
In glorious late-summer weather, the promoted side tried to disrupt Dortmund with a high-intensity pressing game and create chances of their own. The shot count midway through the first half was 5:3 – in SCP’s favor, with Curda firing a dangerous effort into the side netting (18’). But the Black-and-Yellows looked more likely to score a second: after a quarter of an hour, Joey Veerman unleashed a powerful strike from 18 meters, but Noll just managed to get an arm up and save the tricky long-range effort, which had taken a slight deflection.

The sold-out SIGNAL IDUNA PARK twice celebrated what seemed to be 2:0, both times scored by Guirassy – first after a pass from Silva (31’), then after good work by Svensson (45+2’) – but on both occasions the VAR correctly ruled that the No. 9 was offside.
After the break, Ethan Nwaneri had the 2:0 at his feet from 13 meters out on the right after a pass from Guirassy, but Noll once again made the save (59’). Seconds later, Jobe Bellingham, whose shot in the 42nd minute had missed the target by a whisker, headed the ball just wide of the left post. And Guirassy was denied twice more by keeper Noll (62’/80’). Even so, it remained an open game, and the stands grew restless. But substitute Felix Nmecha brought relief to all Borussia fans: after a one-two with fellow substitute Maxi Beier, he smashed the ball into the net for the now truly valid 2:0 (80’). Marcel Sabitzer, also off the bench, hit the crossbar four minutes later. Nmecha then scored the goal of the day with an overhead kick from a Sabitzer cross to make it 3:0 and seal the final score (89’).
Next Saturday (19/09), 09 travel to VfB Stuttgart.
