November 27, 2021. Wolfsburg vs. Borussia Dortmund. This match was an important moment for the team and its fans.

The match started in a tense atmosphere, with both teams active on the field. From the first minutes, it was clear that Wolfsburg players were determined – they actively attacked and created several dangerous moments. Dortmund, in turn, were not going to give in either. The game was an equal fight, and by the break the score remained 0:0.
In the second half, Borussia still opened the scoring. In the 54th minute, one of the team’s players, taking advantage of a mistake by Wolfsburg defenders, managed to send the ball into the goal. It seemed that Dortmund would now dominate the field, but Wolfsburg quickly responded. Just a few minutes later, they carried out a quick attack and tied the score at 1:1. At this point, the tension was growing, and both teams understood that any mistake could be fatal. In the 72nd minute, Haaland entered the field. His appearance was a real event. The fans greeted his appearance with thunderous applause, because everyone knew that he was the one who could change the course of the match. Haaland, with his outstanding physical shape and excellent technique, immediately began to act actively. He tried to create chances, using his speed and power to break through the opponent’s defense.
At this time, Borussia increased the pressure on the Wolfsburg goal. Haaland became the center of attention for the defenders, which opened up opportunities for his teammates. Several times he was close to hitting the target, but the Wolfsburg defenders acted in a coordinated manner. However, his presence on the pitch gave the entire team confidence. Both teams took risks in the final minutes of the match. Borussia wanted to snatch the victory, and Wolfsburg were not going to give up. In the 85th minute, Haaland received a pass on the edge of the penalty area and, without thinking, shot towards the goal. The shot was powerful, but the Wolfsburg goalkeeper reacted brilliantly, blocking the ball.
The final whistle recorded a 1:1 draw. Although it was not a victory, Haaland’s return to the pitch gave hope to the fans and the team.

This meeting was not only a sporting event, but also a symbol of fortitude and teamwork.
In 20 minutes on the pitch, Haaland managed to demonstrate the full range of his skills and make the game more dynamic. Immediately after coming on as a substitute, he became an active participant in his team’s attacks.

One of the key moments was his breakthrough on the left flank, where he, having received the ball from a teammate, confidently bypassed two defenders and passed it into the penalty area.
