Let’s take a look at the player ratings of this Bundesliga derby between Borussia Dortmund and Schalke 04.

The Ruhr Derby between Borussia Dortmund and Schalke 04 happened today at Signal Iduna Park. The first half was way more balanced than what we got during the second half, with a Dortmund side that went for the kill. With a plethora of young talents to choose from. The Black and Yellow squad had another magical night from the dynamic duo formed by Sancho and Haaland.

Everything interesting happened during the second half, Akanji scored the first goal of the evening after taking a rebound. This Dortmund side was going on the attack with everything they had, which made the match a lot more interesting. One of the refreshing returns is Jadon Sancho, who left all the transfer rumors behind with his performance tonight. 

It’s always Erling Haaland. 

After Dortmund’s first goal, Erling Haaland made his appearance. This young striker is arguably one of the Bundesliga’s most important stars with a bright future ahead of him. He combined with Jadon Sancho to dink the ball over the goalkeeper and score another goal. This one makes it 23 goals in 26 matches for Dortmund so far, impressive numbers for Haaland.

To end the perfect Derby night for the locals, Hummels scored an impressive header during a corner kick. Schalke never really had a chance to respond against one of the most powerful clubs in Germany today. A victory that leaves Dortmund with 12 points after five fixtures in the Bundesliga’s third position.
