In the Bundesliga, only Michael Olise of Bayern Munich has more than Julian Ryerson’s 12 assists. The right-back has had a terrifically strong season in the Dortmund shirt, where Ståle Solbakken with a smile on his face was able to invite the 28-year-old to the national team squad. In England, Premier League clubs are actively signed up to sign the Norwegian Dortmund star. On Saturday, Ryerson was back in the arena with a strong performance, this time also with an assist and a central role, in what was a wild recovery.
Borussia Dortmund are chasing Bayern Munich in the battle for league gold, a loss to Hamburger SV would have sent Ryerson and die Schwartzgelben out of this race completely. The Dortmund supporters could hardly believe what they had experienced until the 73rd minute. Hamburger SV had the shock opening with two goals before halftime, now the away team was heading for a totally surprising victory against the Bundesliga runners-up, with just over twenty minutes left on the game clock. Then Ryerson and the gang narrowed down.

In a period of just over ten minutes, Dortmund narrowed the gap with three goals to win 3-2, two from the penalty spot. Ryerson hit the post when Serhou Guirassy equalised to make it 2-2 in the 78th minute. The Norwegian international received the second highest score among the Dortmund players on live sport’s assessment, the right-back continues as one of the big profiles in the Bundesliga for Germany’s second best club.
We guess Ståle Solbakken is grinning broadly.
