00:00At one of the great cathedrals in world football, Borussia Dortmund begin their quest for the
00:10Meisterschale. The feel-good factor is high in the pitch. Augsburg in their nine successive
00:18Bundesliga season, they stayed up last time round, despite their lowest ever points total in the
00:25top flight, but on the front foot, right at the abset, and can you believe it? What a start,
00:31Florian Niederlech, a huge jolt to the Dortmund system.
00:36Yeah, no one expected that start from Augsburg,
00:44but they looked confident from the start, they played a long ball, a little bit
00:49not yet on the pitch, and Augsburg took advantage.
00:55Sancho, and tried to pull it back, Royce and Alcácer, well there's the perfect reply,
01:01from close range, Paco Alcácer, a love.
01:07What a start we have here, that is one thing, Dortmund is very dangerous, when they come from
01:15the size, Royce runs deep into the box.
01:19We have to speak about the goalkeeper here, though, he, yeah, and you have to find a good
01:26balance against Dortmund, because they move the ball so quick.
01:30Royce, well did well to lay it off, finishing touch, lovely football though.
01:35Yeah, fantastic again from Royce, this is where he's so good at, he's, he's coming from the
01:40second line, and then he's going into the box, and.
01:46Almost from the back there, Sancho on the volley, and the Royce beat in turn by Kubek.
01:52Now Flandt's position for Borussia Dortmund.
01:59This was earlier, the Royce effort.
02:01Yeah, he seems to.
02:06Witzel, and Axel Witzel, straining in now from Borussia Dortmund.
02:12Yeah, good shot here again from Witzel, not any a matter of time, they're so good up front,
02:17Dortmund, that they will create more chances.
02:20And Royce can often be the creator supreme, Marco Royce, Kubek, pushing it out, Weigl.
02:26And Fabian Giefer, didn't seem to fit the bill, here's Witzel right across the face of goal,
02:33and Sancho!
02:35Dortmund on the lead, and Jadon Sancho celebrates in front, Fasic from Sancho.
02:42Yeah, low ball here through the entire Augsburg defense, and I just priced the goalkeeper,
02:48but here he, he didn't look good again.
02:51And Sancho, he didn't hesitate one second, just one thing he's experienced in that league,
03:00who can do his job and always can come in with no hesitation.
03:08Hazard, and it stays alive for Dortmund.
03:14Schurz for Sancho, and Kubek, it's another mistake.
03:19Arise, profits!
03:27Well, I know it's difficult as a goalkeeper, when you have two goals conceded,
03:32where you have your part in it,
03:35but this one is, apart from being not only a technical mistake,
03:40it's been indecisive.
03:43Oh, this is...
03:46I mean...
03:48Brimming with confidence now.
03:51Who moves?
03:54Sancho and Azar switching sides in this half.
03:58Jadon Sancho, and Alcácer, it's another one!
04:02Paco Alcácer,
04:03what he wishes he could face Augsburg every week.
04:12Good footwork here from Sancho.
04:15They are afraid of touching him in the box.
04:18But it's too easy now.
04:22I mean, I mean, I understand the frustration,
04:25but you are...
04:27Obviously, they got shocked after the early goal in the second half.
04:30Here's Pedersen, and Niederlechner takes over,
04:34and this is much healthier from the Augsburg point of view.
04:37And it did look at one point,
04:39as though Vargas
04:40had the chance
04:42to lead into the Dortmund lead.
04:43A good chance here for Augsburg,
04:51and this is what we want to see.
04:54A very congested penalty area.
04:57So many players back there for Augsburg.
05:00Trying to come away with the ball at his feet was Tiger.
05:03Didn't go so well for him.
05:05Witzel, and Brandt!
05:07That's the way to do it!
05:10In your first game for Borussia Dortmund.
05:12And welcome to the club, Julian Brandt!
05:16Again, fantastic vision here from Witzel.
05:20Puts his head up.
05:22Nose-Bund is running in behind the back four.
05:24He chips it over.
05:29And a fantastic one-touch finish from Porten for new players,
05:34especially goalkeepers in the Bundesliga,
05:36to have an understanding of German.
05:39Even a basic one.
05:40Here's Goethe and Alcasa.
05:42And Witzel!
05:45Well, it was there for him.
05:47Witzel, who scored in the opening match last season for Dortmund against Leipzig,
05:52that designs on finding the net here against Augsburg.
05:55He didn't get out of the game.
06:01And you always find something positive.
06:06The referee decides that is that.
06:10As you're right over to the lodge, how's it...
06:13What do you do, Tim?
06:14.
06:15Thank you, Tim.
