4-1 win! Kovac: Gilasi made an indelible contribution, and victory depends on some luck

Hupu reported on October 2 that in the second round of the Champions League, Dortmund defeated Athletic Bilbao 4-1 at home. After the game, Dortmund coach Niko Kovac talked about the team's performance in this game.

Kovac said in an interview with DAZN: "We controlled the game in the first half, but we were a little too passive in the second half, conceding too quickly, and being in a bit unstable state. Then you need goals like this, goals that usually don't score. Gilasi makes a big contribution, which is great. In the Champions League, you also need luck. We have a strong team, and when you play every three days, luck is essential. That's why it's a good thing that we make some substitutions today."

In this game, Dortmund took a 1-0 lead in the first half and then defeated his opponent 4-1 in the second half. Kovac continued: "By the way, Athletic Bilbao has changed six people today. This is part of today's football. Now we are going to face Leipzig, and then the national team game. So, you have to make a substitution. Nico Schlottbeck returns again after five and a half months. After two 90 minutes of games, the risk of his muscle injury is too great."
