Mohamed Zidan started for Dortmund in
their Bundesliga home match versus Bayer Leverkusen.
The game ended in a 1-1 draw as Frei scored for Dortmund
in the first half while Leverkusen replied with a goal
in the 2nd. In the first half Zidan looked in a fine
shape with his touches and flicks but his performance
faded with time and he was replaced by Valdez in the
70th minute.
Dortmund failed to defend their lead once
again as they allowed Leverkusen to come back into the
game in the 2nd half. Just a few days ago, Zidan's Dortmund
took the lead in the cup through Frei but they conceded
a couple of goals in the 2nd half to end their cup campaign
early on.
Today, they faced Leverkusen in the league
and scored in the first half through Frei. However,
the second half performance was once again very poor
and allowed the oppoents to come back into the game
to end the match in a 1-1 draw.
Zidan played from the start alongside Frei. While he wasn't
at his best, he played some good direct passes and flick ons
especially in the first half. In the 2nd half, Zidan didin't
offer much and was replaced in the 70th mniute with Valdez.
