"Serhou Guirassy scored before assisting Maximilian Beier in the first half, though the Bundesliga outfit could rue some of their missed chances as they had the opportunity to all but end the tie at the Signal Iduna Park. It took Niko Kovac's side just three minutes to open the scoring. Julian Ryerson, who registered four assists in their Bundesliga win over Mainz last time out, picked Guirassy out with a brilliant cross and the striker made no mistake with his header."
"Data Debrief: Guirassy shining again on the European stage Since the start of last season, Guirassy has been directly involved in 24 goals in the Champions League (17 goals, seven assists), more than any other player during that period. Along with scoring with his only shot, Guirassy registered the most touches in the box (seven), created the joint-most chances (three) and won the joint-most aerial duels (three) in the match."
Borussia Dortmund secured a 2-0 first-leg win over Atalanta in the Champions League play-offs at Signal Iduna Park, taking a strong step towards the last 16. Serhou Guirassy opened the scoring inside three minutes with a header from a Julian Ryerson cross, then set up Maximilian Beier less than a minute after a missed Atalanta chance shortly before half-time. Dortmund continued to threaten from set-pieces in the second half, with Julian Brandt among those pressing, but failed to add a third. Guirassy has been directly involved in 24 Champions League goals since last season and led key match metrics.
