Dortmund defies Fluminense: 0-0 in the first World Cup game!

In the first match of the World Cup, Borussia Dortmund showed himself to be 0-0 against Fluminense from a combative but also undecided side.

This reported [vienna.at] (https://www.vienna.at/dortmund-mund- against-fluminense-gut-bedient/9486977). Marcel Sabitzer, who was on the pitch until the 77th minute, had a possibility, but could not use it decisively.

fluminense presented themselves offensive, but the German keeper Kobel parried the best chances of the South Americans. In another game of the day, River Plate won 3-1 against the Urawa Red Diamonds after specifying the sound early. Interestingly, a Japanese equalization was not recognized due to an offside decision.

newcomer Sabitzer in criticism

Marcel Sabitzer recently showed his skills in a friendly against Manchester United (3-2 victory). He prepared the goal from Donyell Malen and thus ensured the 2-1 lead. The BVB fans in the Allegian Stadium in Las Vegas were enthusiastic about his nomination to the starting XI. He is expected to take over the "nasty" tasks in midfield, similar to his predecessor Jude Bellingham, who is now successfully playing at Real Madrid. This information comes from Sky Sport.

coach Edin Terzic, however, expressed concern about the performance of his team in the first round of the test game, which will increase the expectations of the coming season. In addition to Sabitzer, Jobe Bellingham, who was signed for a proud 30 million euros and made his debut after almost an hour, is seen as an important factor in the BVB game.
