81 min “I am a ‘neutral’, but my son’s support of Dortmund is quite intense,” says Jake Shaffer. “While I lapped up the beauty of Kimmich’s finish, my son couldn’t see anything except all the mistakes Dortmund made that lead up to the goal. Got me thinking: is it better to see a goal against your club as a breakdown of game fundamentals OR to see a goal as a piece of one-time magic woven by the other team? I realise the truth is in the grey area inbetween, but when has truth ever inconvenienced a diehard football supporter?”
It’s a good point, this. One of my favourite goals against Manchester United was Gabriel Batistuta’s preposterous screamer in 2000. It was years before I realised that, while it did swerve, it was essentially straight at Mark Bosnich.
80 min Dahoud’s fierce shot from 20 yards is beaten away by the falling Neuer. He almost moved too far across his line but was able to reach up and slap it away from goal.
