Serhou Guirassy Surpasses Lewandowski in Borussia Dortmund’s European Scoring

Guirassy Reaches 100 Appearances with Crucial Champions League Impact

Serhou Guirassy celebrated his 100th match for Borussia Dortmund by scoring twice in a thrilling 3-2 win over Villarreal at Signal Iduna Park. His brace not only secured victory but also propelled him ahead of Robert Lewandowski in the club’s all-time European scoring records.

Match Highlights and Key Moments

  • Dortmund Lead Early: The hosts opened the scoring thanks to an own goal by Renato Veiga.
  • Villarreal Equalize:Santiago Mourino brought the visitors back on level terms.
  • Guirassy’s Brace: The striker scored from a close-range tap-in and a penalty, pushing Dortmund ahead.
  • Late Own Goal: An accidental deflection off Gregor Kobel's save resulted in a late own goal, adding to the drama.

Guirassy’s Record-Breaking Night

The two goals lifted Guirassy's tally to 64 goals in 100 competitive matches for Dortmund. His 19 goals in 25 Champions League appearances for the club now surpass Lewandowski's total of 17 in this competition. After the match, the 30-year-old remarked:

"I'm very, very happy to have played a hundred games for Dortmund - I didn't even realise that. Of course, it's something very special to break Lewandowski's record, because he's a great striker."

European Consistency and Club Standing

Since joining from Stuttgart in 2024, Guirassy has shown remarkable consistency in European competitions, placing him second on Dortmund’s Champions League all-time scorer list behind only Marco Reus who has 24 goals. Reflecting on the intense match and his own late mishap, Guirassy added:

"It was a strange game tonight - a crazy game. We could have done better, but we're happy with the win."

Looking Ahead: Bundesliga Focus

Borussia Dortmund will now shift focus to their Bundesliga schedule, hosting Paderborn this weekend at Signal Iduna Park. With a perfect start to the domestic season, winning both of their opening matches, the team aims to maintain their top position. Guirassy's sharp attacking form is expected to be vital as they pursue continued success.
