📸 Major embarrassment avoided? BVB caught out but hit back | OneFootball

Mamelodi Sundowns. Someone who was previously a completely blank slate for European football fans could now really make a name for themselves. The South African champion is currently playing in the Club World Cup against none other than Borussia Dortmund and is giving BVB a real headache.

The Sundowns were the better team in the early stages of the second group game and even took a 1-0 lead. And that was with great help from Dortmund. Lucas Ribeiro went through the Borussia defense without any resistance and was allowed to score the 1-0 goal. Ribeiro started in his own half.

And suddenly the Brazilian was completely alone in front of Gregor Kobel and scored. A catastrophic mistake by the BVB defense.

But a gift was also given on the other side. Mamelodi goalkeeper Ronwen Williams was passed the ball in his own penalty area and what followed was an absolute blackout.

He pushed the ball without any pressure to Felix Nmecha, who only had to score into the empty goal. BVB now seems to have finally recovered from the initial shock. Serhou Guirassy scored with a header in the 34th minute to make it 2-1. Jobe Bellingham increased the score to 3-1 just before the break.

Have the Dortmund players averted the embarrassment and can now take over? Currently, it looks that way. Or will the Sundowns come back again and sniff out the mega-sensation?
