Achraf Hakimi’s five best performances for Borussia Dortmund
By Adam Bakr
Number Three: vs Eintracht Frankfurt (Bundesliga 2019/20)
Now consistently playing as the right-wing-back, Hakimi may have put in his best game in that position against Eintracht Frankfurt. The win was inspired by his creativity in the final third. He assisted Lukasz Piszczek for the opener.
With two defenders in front of him, Hakimi found the veteran Pole on the edge of the box who found the bottom corner with a sweet strike to give Dortmund the 1-0 lead.
Hakimi would be at it again in the second half. Playing his classic give-and-go with Sancho on the right wing, Hakimi cut it back to Erling Haaland to make it 3-0. It was Haaland’s eighth goal of the season, and Hakimi’s ninth assist.
The fourth goal came from a similar cut back to Haaland. This time the pass was chipped and mis-controlled by the striker. After Frankfurt struggled to clear the ball, Guerreiro stepped in to intercept the clearance and found the bottom right.
Hakimi finished the 4-0 win with two assists. He also had the most touches of any player on the field that afternoon, and was a nightmare for the Eintracht Frankfurt defenders to deal with.
