El Borussia Dortmund se
deshizo por la vía rápida del Holstein Kiel y se verá las caras en la final de
la DFB Pokal con el RB Leipzig el próximo jueves 13 de mayo
El canterano azulgrana Mateu
Morey, que entró en la segunda mitad sustituyendo a Piszczek, se retiró del
terreno de juego aparentemente lesionado de gravedad
No suele ser habitual ver una
semifinal decidida en la primera parte. Pero a pesar de no contar con Erling
Haaland, que vio el partido desde la grada del Signal Iduna Park, el Borussia
Dortmund necesitó solo 45’ para endosarle una ‘manita’ al Holstein Kiel,
verdugo del Bayern Múnich en esta DFB Pokal, y certificar así su presencia en
la final del próximo día 13, donde se verá las caras con el RB Leipzig, que
eliminó el viernes al Werder Bremen (1-2) con un gol de Emil Forsberg en el
descuento de la prórroga.
La resistencia del equipo
norteño duró solo un cuarto de hora, el tiempo que necesitó Jadon Sancho para
asistir a Giovanni Reyna, que hizo el primero con un disparo ajustado al
segundo palo de un Thomas Dähne que poco pudo hacer ante el vendaval del
Dortmund. Siete minutos después Reyna se aprovechó de un carambola para
embolsarse su doblete particular y abrir brecha en el marcador.
Marco Reus se sumó a la fiesta
‘borussier’ en el 25’, definiendo con clase tras un excelso pase picado de Emre
Can y la candidez visitante provocó que Thorgan Hazard lograra el póker local
superando al portero en un mano a mano. Hasta la diosa fortuna se puso del lado
del Dortmund, que se encontró con el quinto gol gracias a un derechazo de Jude
Bellingham que tocó en Simon Lorenz y se coló en la portería sin que Dähne
pudiera hacer nada.
Grave lesión de Morey
En una segunda mitad sin
goles, la nota negativa la puso el español Mateu Morey, que se tuvo que retirar
del terreno de juego aparentemente lesionado de gravedad. No llevaba ni 12’ en
el campo cuando, en una carrera con Finn Porath su rodilla derecha se quedó
clavada, provocando los gritos de dolor del canterano azulgrana y la desolación
de sus compañeros y su técnico, Edin Terzik, que no quería ni mirar.
