In the 56th minute, when the score was 2-0 in favor of Dortmund, Jadon Sancho skillfully dribbled the ball in the penalty area and was pulled down by Danish defender Rasmus Carstensen. The situation happened right in front of the referee. He did not need to consult VAR to award Dortmund a penalty. Sancho also took the initiative to fall, because Carstensen's impact was too obvious.
According to the assignment from Dortmund's coaching staff, Niclas Fullkrug was the player assigned to take the penalty. However, Sancho suddenly ran up, snatched the ball from his German teammate and said: "Give it to me, quickly".
Fullkrug was surprised by his teammates' reaction and firmly refused. This striker made no mistake to score the third goal for "Die Borussen".
Sancho was dissatisfied when he was not given a penalty.
Sancho is desperate to score his first goal for Dortmund since returning to the club but Fullkrug's actions have received support from the coaching staff and fans. After all, Sancho is only a player on loan from Man Utd until the end of this season.
After Fullkrug's successful penalty kick, Dortmund also had a goal to seal the 4-0 score, scored by young player Youssoufa Moukoko. Before that, Donyell Malen shone brightly with a double to help the Ruhr club win a resounding victory right at RheinEnergieStadion. 3 important points help "Die Borussen" continue to chase the top 4. At this time, the gap between coach Edin Terzic and his team is only 1 point behind Stuttgart's Champions League ticket position (33 compared to 34).
Returning to Sancho, he has not been able to score his first goal after 2 appearances for Dortmund. However, the English player still showed his desire to play and had an impressive performance when returning to the Bundesliga. Against the Cologne defense, Sancho played enthusiastically with 8 duels won (the highest on the field), 4 successful dribbles and earned a penalty. He was rated 7.3 points by Sofascore.
The contract between MU and Dortmund does not have a buyout clause. However, if Sancho plays well, the club at Signal Iduna Park may consider an offer to buy back the 23-year-old player this summer.
