Goals:
1-0 Reus, after Starke makesan easy save, he lets the ball go away from him and Reus heads it in.
1-1 Robben, Lahm with a perfect cross, Robben just runs into the ball, header, 1-1.
2-1 v.Buyten (og), cross Gündogan, diving header van Buyten, hair was wishiwashi, ball was in the net, Starke had no chance.
3-1 Gündogan, danced around Müller, semichipped (or curled) it with right foot into the far corner. Nice goal.
3-2 Robben, cross, somehow controls it in front of the goal about 8m away, with back to the goal, spins around and everyone expects a shot into the far (keepers perspective:right) corner, he shoots, probably wanted to shoot into the other (keepers perspective: left) corner, shoots through traffic into the middle, no chance for Weidenfeller.
4-2 Reus, pass Aubameyang, shot Reus, no chance for Starke.
Teams should have been tired at this point of the season and considering today was the hottest day of the year in germany (38°C, ref stopped the game in each half so the teams could take a break for a minute and drink something, never seen before), but the 1st half was a great game. Bayern was dominating from the start, then Dortmund also got their share of possession and chances. I did only see 15minutes of 2nd half, until the goal-scoring frenzy started (3goals within 5minutes). At the end, there was another chance für Müller (crossbar), so this was probably more offense than we will see in the season.
Some nice passing from Thiago and Kroos, i must admit. But there was some real defensive problems. No Javi Martinez, no Schweinsteiger, no Dante, no Luiz Gustavo...I don´t know, but this brings many problems in defense. Thiago doesn´t seem like someone who can hold the fort alone. Especially with two CBs like van Buyten and Boateng, two guys who produce a few mistakes.
This win just brought Dortmund 1,25mil € (loser Bayern: 0,75mil €). Nice way to start the season.
