Four days after his draw against Fluminense for his entry into this club World Cup, Borussia Dortmund managed to record his first success in the competition. Faced with Mamelodi's South Africans, Niko Kovač's players have mastered their subject, not without being afraid. Although largely favorite, the Germans were indeed surprised at the start, by a goal from Lucas Ribeiro in favor of the team nicknamed “The Brazilians”, because of their yellow and green colors, written in the 11th minute. But the BVB did not doubt very long, since Felix Nmecha came to equalize in his favor only five minutes later.
The Ruhr club then unrolled. Serhou Guirassy came to give the advantage to his own (34th), before Jobe Bellingham did not register his first goal under his new colors to dig the gap just before half-time (45th). The second period saw Julian Brandt's partners drive the point home, first through the unfortunate Khuliso Mudau, scorer against his camp (59th). If Iqraam Rayners quickly reduced the well-imitated gap (62nd) Lebo Mothiba (90th), the German club has established itself (3-4). At the end of this meeting, Borussia points to first place in group F, with 4 points. Winners of the South Korean of the Ulsan HD (1-0), Mamelodi is now second, but still virtually qualified for the knockout stages.
