Guinea's Serhou Guirassy struck once in each half to lift Borussia Dortmund to a hard-fought 2-1 Champions League win in Azerbaijan.
Serhou Guirassy is flying the Guinean flag high on Europe's biggest club stage. The striker scored in both halves as Borussia Dortmund battled to a 2-1 victory over Sabah in Azerbaijan, a result that keeps the German side's Champions League campaign moving in the right direction.
It was far from a comfortable night for Dortmund. Sabah made life awkward in Azerbaijan, and the visitors had to dig deep to secure the points. Guirassy was the difference, popping up with a goal before the break and another after the restart to give his side the cushion they needed.
That kind of finishing is exactly why Dortmund leaned on the Guinean number nine. In a game that never quite settled into a rhythm, he delivered the clinical moments that separate winning teams from those who drop points on the road. Sabah did pull one back and kept the tension alive, but Dortmund held firm to close it out.
For African football, Guirassy's brace is another reminder of the talent pushing through at the top of the European game. Every goal he scores in the Champions League is a statement for Guinea and for the continent's strikers, and he looks ready to keep adding to the tally.
