After he outran Chelsea’s Enzo Fernandez and scored a superb single goal in Borussia Dortmund’s 1-0 Champions League victory on Wednesday, Karim Adeyemi drew comparisons to the cartoon character Road Runner.
Adeyemi made a break from within his own half and ran over 60 meters before putting the ball in the net to give Dortmund the victory in the first leg of their round of 16 match.
Meep, Meep! When asked to explain the 21-year-goal, old’s Dortmund coach Edin Terzic told BT Sport, “And then he goes.
“Karim has a quality like this.
We did a good job of defending the corner kick. It was a risky situation, but when you notice his acceleration, you’ll realize that his first touch was intended to speed up the game.
“Every defense is going to find it very difficult to stop you if you are this quick. Being the winning goal, it was a fantastic and crucial goal.
On March 7, Dortmund, who has won its last seven games overall, departs for London for the second leg.
