Borussia coach Dortmund, Niko Kovac, compared Cincinnati’s conditions to a sauna, as his side won a 4-3 victory over Mamelodi Sundowns this afternoon.
The starting shot at lunch at Ohio was accompanied by heat of 30 ° C and draining moisture with Dortmund even allowing their substitutes to see the first half in the locker room instead of sitting outside.
Our SUn saw the first half from inside the wardrobe to avoid the burning sun at the TQL stadium, never before, but in this heat it makes sense. 🥵 #Fifacwc pic.twitter.com/5gytmer1fq

Jobe Bellingham was among the scorers, as the Bundesliga side did almost enough to win against the South African opposition, the Sunderland ex-championman, who won 3-1 in the half.
But Kovac pleased himself simply to have been achieved with his side now at the head of group F with four points ahead of tonight’s game between Fluminense and Ulsan.
He said, “I was on the contact line and I sweated as if I left the sauna. These are such harsh conditions.
“We certainly did not do the best game, but that was not possible today. We won and continue.”

Bellingham stole the headlines: He was named a party man, although he was largely calm.
And it was full of praise for the Sundowns, who never resigned and caused a few late nerves returning to the score when Lbo Mothiba scored in the 90th minute.
Bellingham said, “They were really good, they should be proud of themselves.
“I’m glad we win, but there are still many things to improve, both for me personally and for the team.”
Bellingham’s goal came after a late route to the box, followed by a good chest control and a well -executed shot.
“I have practiced it so often,” he added.
“If you can contribute this type of goals throughout the season, you are on the right track.”
The next for Dortmund is a clash with Ulsan on Wednesday.
