Borussia Dortmund clinched a well-deserved 2-0 win against Hamburger SV on the first Bundesliga matchday. The downside to the success, however, is the knee injury suffered by Giannis Konstantelias, who previously scored the 2-0. Dortmund had the game under control from the start. The right side in particular with Marius Wolf and Donyell Malen ensured a lot of activity. The first excitement of the game didn't take long to arrive: in the 9th minute, Donyell Malen was knocked off his feet in the penalty area. Referee Bastian Dankert awarded a penalty. However, the penalty had to be retaken after VAR intervened because players from both teams had moved into the penalty area too early. On the second attempt, Julian Brandt put the ball on the ball and converted it to give Borussia a 1-0 lead (11th minute). Even after the opening goal, Dortmund remained in control. Konstantelias, who was called into the starting eleven by coach Edin Terzic for the game against HSV, had two good chances to extend the result. First he failed in the 19th minute with a shot from 14 meters past HSV keeper Daniel Heuer Fernandes, five minutes later he headed over the goal from a cross from Marius Wolf. The same picture in the second half. Dortmund dominated the game and had many chances. In the 56th minute, Donyell Malen broke through on the right and passed in the middle to Konstantelias, who scored from close range to make it 2-0. Dortmund then had a few good chances to increase the result, but both Donyell Malen and substitute Niclas Füllkrug missed good opportunities. Borussia's victory was never in danger at any point in the game. However, the Dortmund team has to swallow a bitter pill: Giannis Konstantelias injured his knee in the final phase of the game and had to be substituted. "It doesn't look good," said coach Edin Terzic after the game about the young Greek's injury. Borussia's first competitive game in the UEFA Champions League is scheduled for next week. There Dortmund will meet AC Milan, Paris Saint-Germain and Newcastle FC in Group F.

What happens next

Borussia Dortmund's medical department will now look after Konstantelias to determine the severity of the injury. Depending on the diagnosis, he could potentially miss several games, which could affect coach Edin Terzic's plans. Dortmund will aim to maintain their good form and successfully play the next games in the 1st Bundesliga.
