4 of 5

Karim Adeyemi (7/10) - Karim Adeyemi was Dortmund's most efficient winger against Shakhtar. Gave a lot of work to the Ukrainian left side of the defense and had his goal stolen by Guirassy with his opening goal.

Jamie Gittens (5/10) - Jamie's decision-making was not at his peak. Lost opportunities for counters and made little impact in the offensive phase.

Serhou Guirassy (8/10) - It's hard to argue with a first-half performance like that. Two goals, a striking presence off the ball, and link-up play working nicely with Beier.
