| After a goalless opening game, the crowd got much more out of Dortmund's second appearance at the current Club World Cup. The desired dominance was once again lacking in the 4-3 win against Mamelodi Sundowns of South Africa. With four points Borussia Dortmund has every chances for the round of 16. Ulsan Hyundai suffered two defeats on the first two matchdays which ultimately mean that South Koreans can return home immediately after the final whistle in Cincinnati. Despite two consolation goals against Fluminense, the defense of the Asian team representative has so far proved to be too weak for higher honors. The significantly low percentage of ball possession in the previous matches should now put Borussia Dortmund in the role of absolute favourite in the TQL Stadium. Dortmund has a much higher quality squad. To date, no Asian club has ever won a competitive match against a European team. |
