First, Sancho let Haaland take the penalty that sent Dortmund up 2-0. Then Sancho served a perfect stick to Haaland on a counterattack. But what attracted attention was also Haaland’s enormous speed. The 20-year-old started the race in his own field, before finishing safely inside the opponent’s.
– He sets a world record of 100 meters flat, jokes Jan Åge Fjortoft in the Viasport studio.
Haaland’s old boss in Molde, Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjær, is lying flat behind Sancho.
But for now, it is Haaland who will benefit from Sancho, at the same time as Solskjær’s team lost at home against Crystal Palace.

Criminal discussion
Sancho will take the penalties in Dortmund, but Haaland clearly showed that he would take it. The two stars stood and discussed, before the TV pictures showed a smiling Sancho giving the ball to Haaland.
– He scored in the previous match – today I had a good feeling, says Haaland in an interview shown on Viasport.
The Norwegian was, as usual, icy cold from 11 meters. Sent goalkeeper Yann Sommer the wrong way, and rolled the ball into goal.
– He tried to get into my head, but it did not work, it was a good feeling, Haaland explained.

Super talents
Dortmund also fielded four players born in the 2000s. Haaland and Sancho (both 2000), Giovani Reyna (2002) and Jude Bellingham (2003).
All goals in the match were scored by players born after the year 2000.
It was Reyna who sent Dortmund in the lead. He also got the penalty kick after a great dribble raid.
– He is the American dream, I do not need to say more, Haaland smiled about his teammate.
