Shortly before Borussia Dortmund’s guest appearance at Real Madrid, the U19s won the direct comparison of the juniors and remained unbeaten in the Youth League.
The U19s have set the pace! On the third matchday of the UEFA Youth League, Borussia Dortmund can celebrate a 2-1 victory at Real Madrid. The Dortmund team turned a 0-1 half-time deficit around. Man of the day was substitute Taycan Etcibasi, who was involved in both goals.
A few hours before the BVB pros’ match at the Royal Club in the Champions League, the game began with the home team more alert, Hugo de Llanos gave the young Madrilenians an early lead (8th minute). Real remained the dominant team, but could not add to it.
The guests did not pose much of a threat in the first half. BVB coach Mike Tullberg made three substitutions at half-time. But he did bring the match winner later, with Etcibasi coming on in the 62nd minute. The score was still 0:1 from Dortmund’s perspective, but it wasn’t to stay that way for long.
Just two minutes later, Etcibasi was brought down in the Madrid penalty area and was awarded a penalty – Damian Kos pointed to the spot. Nick Cherny took responsibility and equalized (64th minute).
BVB still unbeaten, Real with second defeat
It was all heading for a draw, the stoppage time was ticking down, and BVB came forward again. Mussa Kaba prevailed in the penalty area and had an eye for Etcibasi, who didn’t miss this opportunity and scored from 14 meters to secure a 2:1 away win – in the seventh minute of stoppage time!
BVB remains unbeaten after three games and is firmly at the top of the Youth League with seven points. It was already the second defeat for the Real youth team.
This is how they played:
Madrid: Gonzalez – Mesa (73. Navascués), Valde, Aguado, Fortea – Perea, Izan Regueira – Martin (85. Gascon), de Llanos (73. Diez), Yanez (85. Pol Rivera) – Joan Mascaro (17. Aimar Santiago).
