Greece midfielder Konstantinos Karetsas had to leave the pitch with “circulatory problems” during Dortmund’s Champions League win against Villarreal.<\/p>\n
The 18-year-old, capped 10 times by his country, was substituted in the 27th minute after receiving treatment having slumped to the ground after playing a pass.<\/p>\n
“Konstantinos Karetsas had to leave the field due to circulatory problems,” said Dortmund in a statement. “Kosta is doing well under the circumstances and is on his way to the hospital for further tests.”<\/p>\n
Serhou Guirassy scored twice and netted an own goal as Borussia Dortmund opened their European campaign with a victory.<\/p>\n
A Renato Veiga own goal gave hosts Dortmund the lead early in the second half, but Santiago Mourino drew Villarreal level after his side missed several opportunities.<\/p>\n
Dortmund improved and Guirassy restored their lead in the 80th minute, before the Guinean striker converted a late penalty and then scored an own goal.<\/p>\n
Dortmund were fortunate to go into the break level, and in the 53rd minute were gifted the lead when Veiga inadvertently deflected a Maximilian Beier cross past his own goalkeeper.<\/p>\n
But 14 minutes later Mourino caught out Kobel with a flicked near-post header, seconds after the Dortmund goalkeeper had received treatment.<\/p>\n
Guirassy and Beier then got in each other’s way attempting to convert from a Marcel Sabitzer cross.<\/p>\n
Guirassy’s 100th Dortmund appearance had been a frustrating one, but he finally got his goal in the 80th minute when he tapped in from a Fabio Silva ball across the face of goal.<\/p>\n
Guirassy scored his 64th Dortmund goal three minutes later from the penalty spot after he was fouled at a corner by Mourino.<\/p>\n
Villarreal were given late hope when a Kobel save bounced back into the goal off Guirassy’s face, and almost equalised in the fifth minute of injury-time when Veiga’s close range effort was deflected wide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Guirassy scores at both ends in Dortmund win over Villarrealpublished at 13:05 BST 13:05 BST Borussia Dortmund 3-2…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":885649,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,596,85],"class_list":["post-885648","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-football","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/885648","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=885648"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/885648\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/885649"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=885648"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=885648"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=885648"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
