Borrussia Dortmund Beats Manchester United In Thrilling 5-Goal US Pre season Friendly
Borrussia Dortmund defeated Manchester United 3-2 in a thrilling 5-goal US preseason tour friendly in Las Vegas on Sunday night.
Erik Ten Haag’s men got off a flying start and took the lead midway through the first half when Van de Beek’s lay-off was collected by Dalot on the edge of the box and the Portuguese full-back guided a controlled effort into the corner.
Dortmund got a deseeved equalizer as Brandon Williams was turned too easily on the left and the ball was worked into the penalty area for Malen to score from close range.
The Bundesliga Outfit took the lead just 18 seconds after the restart, as Victor Lindelof carelessly gave the ball away to former United midfielder Marcel Sabitzer, who passed to Malen to score his second and make it 2-1.
United pulled it back to 2-2 when Mats Hummels gave the ball away inside his own penalty area and Antony passed a cool finish into the far corner.
Ten Hag brought on his first-choice stars after 60 minutes but rather than giving United the impetus to win the game, Dortmund soon took advantage of another calamity in defence.
This time Aaron Wan-Bissaka needlessly gave the ball away and Marco Reus crossed for Moukoko to beat Onana and seal victory for the Bundesliga side.
United will still play Rc Lens and Athletico Bilbao in friendly games before their premier league opener against Wolves on August 14 at the Old Trafford.
