Karetsas, 18, scores first BVB goal to beat Betis as Guirassy goes off
Post
📰 Eighteen-year-old Konstantinos Karetsas replaced the injured Guirassy and scored the winner as Dortmund beat Betis 2-1.
📌 Key points
✅ Dortmund beat Real Betis 2-1 in Matchday 4 of the Champions League on 4 November.
🎯 Fabio Silva opened the scoring on 49 minutes.
⚖️ Aitor Ruibal levelled from close range on 67.
🌟 Karetsas, 18, scored the winner on 72, his first goal for the club.
🩹 Serhou Guirassy went off around the 31st minute with a thigh problem.
📝 What happened
⚽ After a goalless first half, Silva put Dortmund ahead before Ruibal equalised. Karetsas then took Silva's pass, cut inside and finished low into the corner in front of 81,365 fans.
🗣️ According to Sportschau, Niko Kovac said Karetsas dodges like a hare and is hard to defend, while admitting he still has defensive catching up to do.
🏥 Guirassy was replaced after feeling his thigh. Kovac said at his press conference that the striker has a strain and could not play the next day, and would probably stay in Dortmund during the international break.
📊 By the numbers
• Goals: Silva 49', Ruibal 67', Karetsas 72'
• Karetsas is 18; it was his first goal for Dortmund
• Attendance: 81,365
• Guirassy has scored four Champions League goals this season
🔭 Why it matters
Guirassy is Dortmund's key striker, so Kovac needs Karetsas to prove a credible alternative. The next test was the home game with Elversberg on 7 November.
