After his goal and solid performance when
he came on from the bench versus Shaelke, Zidan started
today fro Dortmund in their home clash with the onform
Bundesliga surprise package Hoffenheim. The game ended
in a 0-0 draw. Zidan performed well till he was substituted
in the 2nd half. He went close on goal a few times but
was unlucky not to convert.
Zidan played from the start and showed
good co-operation with Nelson Valdez. The Paaguayan
fired a low shot at goal in the 15th minute, the goalkeeper
pushed it away to find Zidan who was left with a simple
finish but his final touch was poor as it went into
the goalkeeper's body.
In the 23rd minute, Zidan and Valdez made a nice double
passing that could have created a good chance but Hoffenheim's
left-back intercepted it.
In the 68th minute Valdez came off fand was replaced
by Alexander Frei , and later in the 86th minute Zidan
came off as Kullmann replaced him.
All in All, Zidan performed well till he was substituted near
the end of the 2nd half. He went close on goal a few times
but was unlucky not to convert.
Dortmund are going to play next week against Stuttgart away
from home
