DFB Cup: Dortmund cruise past Magdeburg
By: Steven | August 5th, 2007
Borussia Dortmund eased past 1. FC Magdeburg in the first round of the DFB Cup on Saturday with a 4-1 win. Goalscorers for BVB were Ebi Smolarek, Diego Klimowicz, and Mladen Petric.
Dortmund lined up in a 4-4-2/quasi-4-4-3 with Ziegler in goal; Dede, Kovac, Wörns, and Degen in the back; Tinga, Kehl, Kuba, and Petric in the middle (Petric was playing very high, though); and Klimowicz and Smolarek up top.
Ebi got us off to a flying start in just the fourth minute, when he scored a typical Ebi Smolarek goal. That, of course, means he got on the end of a ball that bounced around in the box and just poked it past Beer to make it 1-0. His goals aren’t usually pretty, but you’ve gotta love the effort and determination the guy has.
Klimowicz then added the second Dortmund goal in the 30th by means of a long, looping header that went over Beer’s head and into the back of the net. It was absolutely awful defending by Magdeburg, but a nice finish by Klimowicz nonetheless.
Eric Agyemang then scored for Magdeburg before halftime to make it 2-1.
On the other side of the break, Sebastian Kehl sent in a great cross for Petric, who did very well to head past Beer to make it 3-1 to BVB.
Dortmund finished the goalscoring in the 90th minute, when Tinga and Klimowicz worked a lovely one-two that sprung the Argentine free in the box to slot the ball past the keeper. A great goal to finish off the game.
This is a very pleasing result. We fielded our best squad and got the result we were looking for. Now I’m just imagining how we’ll look once Frei fully recovers. We could be a team to look out for this year…
