Sofa Score statistics have highlighted the impressive contributions of the 2000-born player in both attacking and defensive aspects for Dortmund.
Borussia Dortmund faced a real challenge when traveling to the Wanda Metropolitano. Under the pressure created by Atletico Madrid, the German representatives played somewhat awkwardly in the early minutes of the match and were soon punished by their opponents with two goals conceded.
The significant gap made it difficult for Dortmund to turn things around. On a day when the supporting cast in the attacking line performed unimpressively, Jadon Sancho, despite his good performance, couldn’t make a difference.
The England star delivered an impressive performance with some bright displays. Sancho had a total of 85 touches, with a passing accuracy of 80% (39/49), two of which created significant opportunities for his teammates. The Manchester United loanee also completed 11 dribbles and 5 successful take-ons.
Furthermore, Sancho actively contributed to the defensive aspect. In 16 ground duels, he regained possession for Dortmund 7 times. Additionally, he made 2 interceptions and 1 successful clearance for the away team.
With these contributions, the 24-year-old player remained on the pitch until the final whistle, while teammates like Niclas Füllkrug and Karim Adeyemi were substituted out.
In the closing minutes of the match, after some personnel adjustments, Dortmund found a goal to reduce the deficit to 1-2, igniting hopes for the second leg at Signal Iduna Park.
