Mathis Albert makes first Dortmund start as USMNT players see action

Mathis Albert recorded his first competitive start for Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday during a 5-0 DFB-Pokal victory against HEBC Hamburg. The 17-year-old played the full 90 minutes, creating three chances and leading his side in successful dribbles. In the EFL Championship, Aidan Morris scored a goal and earned Man of the Match honors in Middlesbrough’s 1-1 draw with Burnley. Sebastian Berhalter provided the assist for Morris in that match, which saw Rokas Pukštas remain an unused substitute. Caleb Wiley scored for Preston North End in a 1-3 loss to Bristol City, while Patrick Agyemang missed Derby County’s win over Portsmouth due to an Achilles injury. Zane Okoro also found the net for Tranmere Rovers, contributing to a 2-2 draw against Rotherham in League Two action.
