Özcan: “We’re really happy for him”
The reaction of the coach and the teammates was similarly euphoric. “You could see how good it was for him to convert the penalty and how the lads were happy for him when he scored his first goal. That often makes things feel easier on the pitch,” said Fußball-Lehrer Edin Terzic. “We’re really happy for him. A hat-trick today – things can’t get any better for him at the moment,” agreed BVB midfielder Salih Özcan.
Marco Reus (39′), Donyell Malen (50′) and Jude Bellingham (54′) scored the remaining Dortmund goals in the game, which lasted 60 minutes each. Coach Edin Terzic took the opportunity to give many professionals match practice. The injured full-backs Thomas Meunier (thigh problems) and Raphael Guerreiro (muscular problems) were not there.
