📸 Dream debut for Bellingham: Shines in first BVB start | OneFootball

Jobe Bellingham has only been at BVB for a week and a half, and already the Brit is in the spotlight. In his second match at the Club World Cup against Mamelodi Sundowns, the new number 77 is immediately in BVB’s starting lineup. And after just 45 minutes, he has already repaid coach Niko Kovač’s trust.

After a disastrous start and going 0-1 down, Bellingham—who had been rather inconspicuous up to that point—and BVB managed to recover. Dortmund turned the game around and are now leading 4-1. And that’s thanks in part to the new midfield engine from the island. Bellingham scored the third goal for the Borussians, taking advantage of a mistake by Sundowns keeper Ronwen Williams, who let the ball slip through.

In any case, it’s a dream debut for Jobe Bellingham, who is following in the big footsteps of his brother Jude at BVB. Even in his goal celebration, Jobe doesn’t hold back—it’s reminiscent of his brother.

The hype around young Bellingham is unlikely to die down after this goal. And that’s despite the fact that the midfielder’s performance still looked a bit rusty—just like BVB overall. Still, it makes you want to see more Bellingham action.

Dortmund’s fourth goal was an own goal, and shortly after, Iqraam Rayners pulled one back to make it 2-4 (62’). Things are getting tight again, as the Sundowns have scored to make it 3-4.
