Red card: Darida (80 )
Erling Haaland had scored braces in his previous two competitive outings, but it was Marco Reus who might have had a double of his own in a largely one-sided first half. Not long after shinning a very presentable volley high and wide, the Dortmund captain clipped the top of Rune Jarstein s goal frame with a devilish free-kick. Reus turned provider for Haaland in the 22nd minute, but the 20-year-old failed to land his attempted header on target. Hertha s only chance of note came very much against the run of play as Maximillian Mittelstädt put a Deyovaisio Zeefuik free-kick he knew very little about wide. Jarstein made the only save, albeit a very important one to deny English teenager Jude Bellingham s stinging first-time strike.

Columbus left back Milton Valenzuela has been selected to the Argentina Under-23 team for two friendlies at the end of this month against Japan. He is the second Black & Gold to be called up for international duty with Luis Diaz heading to Mexico to join the U-23 Costa Rica team for CONCACAF Olympic qualifiers.
Maitland-Niles marauding run against Newcastle
Zech Medley played 64 minutes for Kilmarnock as they lost 3-2 to Ross County in the Scottish Premiership. The result leaves Tommy Wright s new side bottom of the table after 32 games.
Daniel Ballard played the full match as Blackpool were held to a 1-1 draw at home to Wimbledon in League One. Ellis Simms opened the scoring on the hour mark before a 92nd-minute Ollie Palmer strike ensured the points were shared at Bloomfield Road.
Matt Smith played 77 minutes in Charlton s 0-0 draw against Oxford United at the Kassam Stadium on Saturday. Our young midfielder would have been disappointed not to see his side pick up all three points in League One after Ronnie Schwartz missed a 94th-minute penalty.
