In the 44th minute, Baton Rouge United made a smart pass down the sideline and Dilasin Dhonda hit a pinpoint header through the opponent's defense to make the score then 2-0, and the battle was tense for a few moments.
However, things got worse in the 65th minute when Dortmund's defense made another slip-up and Zharenza capitalized on a one-two punch to widen the gap to 3-0.
In the 89th minute of the game, Chad Lunza once again showed his speed advantage, bursting into the box and calmly firing a shot on goal to complete his hat trick, sealing the victory for Baton Rouge United with a 4-0 win on the line. However, according to the statistics, although Dortmund had 66% of the possession and 15 shots on goal, they only hit the target 5 times and missed 5 excellent chances. In contrast, Baton Rouge hit 5 out of 13 shots on goal, a stunningly efficient performance that deserved the win. After the match, Dortmund released a poster with midfielder Brandt and winger Adeyemi smiling at the camera, but it looked awkward in the face of the 0-4 defeat.
It is worth noting that Baton Rouge United blew away Chinese Super League powerhouse Shanghai Harbour in last season's AFC Champions League play-offs, but slumped in the group stage to become the first team to be eliminated.
However, the result, a 4-0 defeat at home to Dort's half-strength lineup, sparked a lively debate among fans at home: "That harbor loss seems to be getting more and more golden." "Baton Rouge United is strong, who dares to question it?" "It seems that Seaport's strength has indeed surpassed Dort." As planned, Dortmund's Asian tour is about to arrive in Osaka, Japan. They will play a friendly match against Shinji Kagawa, who plays for Cerezo Osaka, at 7:00 p.m. Beijing time on July 24, looking to boost their morale with a win.
