Borussia Dortmund beat 1860 Munich even without Manuel Akanji

BVB sovereign even without Akanji

Dortmund finishes Munich Lions in the cup

The favorites don’t show any weakness at the start of the cup: Borussia Dortmund beat 1860 Munich 3-0 and are ready for the new Bundesliga season.

There is no scanning in the first serious fight after the summer break for Dortmund in the DFB Cup. Borussia starts against the third division team 1860 Munich on Friday evening like the fire brigade.

And the full-throttle football has an immediate effect: in the 8th minute, a Donyell Malen shot first hits both posts and then lands in the net. The shock from the pre-season, in which star striker Sébastien Haller was diagnosed with testicular cancerseem to have digested the yellow-blacks surprisingly well.

Cup round already decided at the break

The underdog also sees little ground against the Terzic squad in the episode, with the national star Manuel Akanji isn’t even in the squad anymore. Dortmund has been looking for a buyer on the transfer market for the 27-year-old central defender for some time. But even without Akanji, the BVB defense didn’t really have any problems that evening in Munich.

Thanks to goals from Bellingham (31st) and new signing Adeyemi (35th), the favorite can increase the lead to 3-0 before the break. The Lions? Largely without a chance. Despite the one-sided game, the Munich team didn’t let the cup party spoil it.
