Malen misses out on EURO final with the Netherlands

BVB star Donyell Malen and his Netherlands team have missed out on a place in the final of the European Championship. A 2-1 loss to England in the semi-finals saw the attacker become the last Borussia player to be eliminated from the tournament.

In a home game at BVB Stadium Dortmund, as SIGNAL IDUNA PARK is known during the tournament, Malen was in the starting XI and played on the right wing. The Dutch got off to a perfect start when former Leipzig player Xavi Simons put them 1-0 ahead in the seventh minute. But just eleven minutes later, Harry Kane (Bayern Munich) equalised with a penalty. The English side, with former BVB star Jude Bellingham in midfield, then had the better chances to score.

After the break, Malen stayed in the dressing room and was replaced for the second half by Wout Weghorst, who has played for Wolfsburg and Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga. In the 79th minute, the English side were denied a goal for offside. Shortly before the final whistle, the Three Lions scored the winning goal through Ollie Watkins (90) and progressed to the final against Spain on Sunday.

There were eight Black & Yellow players at the start of the EURO, but Malen was the only one to reach the semi-finals. (cr)

On 21 minutes, the Borussia supporters inside the Rote Erde collectively held their breath for a moment as a Schalke shot flew just passed the post. At the other hand, Annika Enderle looked set to open the scoring herself, but Schalke's keeper Julia Matuszek was able to parry the shot from the edge of the box.   In the 38th minute of the game, the guests from Gelsenkirchen did actually take the lead, as Edina Habibovic was able to beat BVB goalkeeper Sandra Schröer, who had come too far out after a throw, lifting the ball over the top of the helpless keeper from 25 metres out.<\/p>\nBut the BVB faithful didn't have to wait long for a response from the Black & Yellows. Picking the ball up around midway in the Schalke half just three minutes later, captain Marie Grothe swung in a right-footed cross from the left-hand side, finding Dana Marquardt unmarked at the far post, and Marquardt nodded the ball home from close range in the 41st minute. The two sides headed into the break at 1-1. <\/p>\nThe first dangerous moments in the second half belonged to the women from Gelsenkirchen. First, Schalke's Deli narrowly missed with a header after a good free-kick cross on 61 minutes, and shortly afterwards there was another heart-in-mouth moment when Paula Reimann guided a Schalke cross only narrowly wide of her own goal in the 64th minute.<\/p>\nThe closing stages, in turn, belonged to BVB, with substitute Marah Tayeh going close on 78 minute before Annika Enderle missed another good chance six minutes from time. On 88 minutes, Enderle remained ice cool and fired home from an inside-left position in the penalty area, converting Marquardt's assist to send the record-breaking crowd into raptures. The result leaves the BVB women top of the table, leading the way in the Westfalenliga with a four-point lead over Schalke with just three games to play. "It was a big step toward the championship today, but we still have to get our points in the rest of the games and then we can celebrate at the end of the season," said captain Marie Grothe, summing up today's game after the final whistle. <\/p>\nNext up for the BVB women will be TV Brechten on Thursday, as they contest the Kreispokal final.

At the other hand, Annika Enderle looked set to open the scoring herself, but Schalke's keeper Julia Matuszek was able to parry the shot from the edge of the box.   In the 38th minute of the game, the guests from Gelsenkirchen did actually take the lead, as Edina Habibovic was able to beat BVB goalkeeper Sandra Schröer, who had come too far out after a throw, lifting the ball over the top of the helpless keeper from 25 metres out.<\/p>\nBut the BVB faithful didn't have to wait long for a response from the Black & Yellows. Picking the ball up around midway in the Schalke half just three minutes later, captain Marie Grothe swung in a right-footed cross from the left-hand side, finding Dana Marquardt unmarked at the far post, and Marquardt nodded the ball home from close range in the 41st minute. The two sides headed into the break at 1-1. <\/p>\nThe first dangerous moments in the second half belonged to the women from Gelsenkirchen. First, Schalke's Deli narrowly missed with a header after a good free-kick cross on 61 minutes, and shortly afterwards there was another heart-in-mouth moment when Paula Reimann guided a Schalke cross only narrowly wide of her own goal in the 64th minute.<\/p>\nThe closing stages, in turn, belonged to BVB, with substitute Marah Tayeh going close on 78 minute before Annika Enderle missed another good chance six minutes from time. On 88 minutes, Enderle remained ice cool and fired home from an inside-left position in the penalty area, converting Marquardt's assist to send the record-breaking crowd into raptures. The result leaves the BVB women top of the table, leading the way in the Westfalenliga with a four-point lead over Schalke with just three games to play. "It was a big step toward the championship today, but we still have to get our points in the rest of the games and then we can celebrate at the end of the season," said captain Marie Grothe, summing up today's game after the final whistle. <\/p>\nNext up for the BVB women will be TV Brechten on Thursday, as they contest the Kreispokal final. Kick-off in that one is at 16:00 CET. They are next in action in the Westfalenliga against BV Werther on Sunday.

BVB ran out of steam in overtime, as Metzingen emerged worthy winners from a thrilling encounter with a final score of 36-32.<\/p>\nDortmund's best performers were Lisa Antl, who scored nine goals, and Deborah Lassource. The Frenchwoman came into the game in the second half and netted six goals.<\/p>\nThe scenario:<\/b> After winning the first leg 32-28 a week ago, a win in game two in Metzingen would see BVB qualify for a place in the semi-finals. The play-offs are all about wins, there are no draws and goal difference is irrelevant.<\/p>\nPersonnel matters:<\/b>  As in the first game, two key players were not in the squad in Metzingen on Saturday: goalkeeper Sarah Wachter is sidelined with a knee injury, as is pivot Emma Olsson.<\/p>\nThe match: <\/b>Both teams started with aggressive defence. Haruno Sasaki played up front for BVB and Julia Behnke for Metzingen. And in contrast to the first leg, BVB did not miss the starting gun this time. Two goals from Lena Degenhardt and one from Alicia Langer made it 3-2 after five minutes, After ten minutes, a superb goal from Lois Abbingh made it 7-4. The Black & Yellows did an excellent job of converting their dangerous, high-tempo attacks into goals. Lena Degenhardt was particularly impressive. After just 12 minutes, she had already netted four goals to help BVB to an 8-4 lead at her old stomping ground.<\/p>\nEverything seemed to be going perfectly. After Tess Lieder saved a seven-metre penalty against Selina Kalmbach, BVB increased the lead to 10-5 thanks to another successful pass from Alicia Langer to the well-positioned centre, Lisa Antl - who also scored her fourth goal. \n<\/p>\nHowever, the game was far from over. Metzingen settled into the flow of things around 20 minutes in, successfully managing to cut out the passes to Lisa Antl in the pivot and reduce the deficit to 14-11 (23). BVB were increasingly being frustrated by goalkeeper Lea Schupbach. As a result, Sandra Erlingsdóttir reduced the deficit to 14-12 four minutes before the break, before Svenja Hübner equalised with 60 seconds left in the first half to tie things up at 14-14. It was anyone's game again. After Lisa Antl's fifth goal, Black & Yellows went into the break with their noses in front at 15-14. \n<\/p>\nThe picture changed after the break. Henk Groener brought on Kelly Vollebregt and Deborah Lassource for Alicia Langer, who sat on the bench for the rest of the period. The home side were now better in attack against a faltering BVB defence and pulled 21-19 ahead in the 37th minute. BVB were letting the game slip out of their hands. It was time for Henk Groener to call a timeout and tell his team to prepare for the final 16 minutes: \u2018Stay calm, play out the attacks neatly, get more control in defence." \n<\/p>\nThe intervention paid off. The 6-0 defensive formation led to a marked improvement, Deborah Lassource scored a quickfire double to tie the game at 24-24 (46), then Dana Bleckmann put BVB back in front at 25-24. \n<\/p>\nA thrilling final spell ensued, in which Lisa Antl put BVB 27-25 in front with her seventh goal (52). Metzingen were back on level terms at 27-27 two minutes before the final whistle, before Kelly Vollebregt made it 28-27 with a superb goal from the right wing. After Dana Bleckmann hit the post (59:45), Jana Scheib equalised down the other end to make it 28-28 and force overtime. BVB offered little in the two five-minute periods and ultimately lost 32-36.<\/p>\nReactions: <\/b>Henk Groener: "We just can't manage to consistently deliver a good performance over 60 minutes. After a really good start, we lost our way from the 20th minute onwards, then squandered good chances up top and finally let the hectic pace get to us when we gave the ball away 15 seconds before the final whistle. Now we have to look to decide things in our favour in the third game next Saturday."<\/p>\nOutlook:<\/b> The deciding game against TuS Metzingen will take place on Saturday, 3 May, in the Halle Wellinghofen. Should BVB qualify for the semi-finals, their opponents will be HSG Blomberg-Lippe. After winning the first leg 23-22, HSG also prevailed 29-26 in the second game in Oldenburg on Saturday.<\/p>\nBVB women:<\/b> Lieder, Muth; Abbingh (3), Campos, Kusian, Antl (9), Degenhardt (5), van Maurik (1), Langer (1), Lassource (6), Sasaki (4), Husebo, Vollebregt (1), Egeling, Heimann, Bleckmann (2).<\/p>\n","title":"Text","multiValue":false,"value":"In front of over 1,000 passionate fans in Metzingen's Öschhalle, BVB already had one foot in the semi-finals when Kelly Vollebregt scored a beautiful goal with 80 seconds remaining to make it 28-27 and Tess Lieder then made a great save to deny Metzingen down the other end.
