Dortmund embarrassed Udinese

The Friulani have looked disjointed so far this summer under returning Coach Igor Tudor and continued the trend this evening.

Becao and Jens Stryger-Larsen both failed to clear the ball effectively, allowing a simple Thorgan Hazard tap-in from seven yards.

Ignacio Pussetto clattered into an opponent for a penalty, converted by Mario Gotze, then Antonin Barak’s ridiculously slow and predictable attempt at a cross-field pass was intercepted for a counter, finished off by Julian Weigl.

Barak was immediately hauled off by the furious Tudor, but it made little difference, as Julian Brandt was also gifted a fourth goal with a foolish back-pass.

Heavy rainfall made it increasingly difficult to pass the ball, but Rolando Mandragora did at least get a consolation goal for Udinese with his free kick.

The conditions were so bad that the referee decided to terminate the game after 83 minutes.
