Super Zidan who
just turned 28 a few days ago managed to stun the Ex-Bundesliga
champions Wolfsburg in the first half. Zidan's pace
and unmatched skills made the difference for his side
as he managed to assist two goals who wre converted
by Lucas Barrios. In addition to this, Zidan played
the freekick which resulted in Dortmund's 3rd goal.

Mohamed Zidan celebrated his 28th birthday
just a few days ago and showed one of his better performances
in Dortmund shirt today. The Egyptian star simply destroyed
Wolfsburg's defense thanks to his dribbling skills,
pace and accurate passes.
The lethal duo Zidan and Barrios gave
Dortmund an early lead in the 8th minute. Zidan showed
his composure in the box as he controlled the ball under
pressure from a couple of defenders, he turned and sent
a low cross from Barrios who was onside in front of
goal, the Argentine slotted the ball home with ease
to put Dortmund at front.
Just a couple of minutes later, Kuba made
a fine chip to oncoming Zidan who controlled the ball
superbly and managed to sidestep the keeper before attempting
to bury the ball in. However, the ball came off his
other foot and reached Barrios who was left with a simple
finish as Zidan put the goalkeeper completely out of
game.
In the 37th minute, Dortmund won a freekick
which was swung by Zidan into the box, Subotec tried
to bury it directly after it missed the defenders but
the ball struck the foot of the post and bounced back
to find the full back Owomoyela who fired it home leaving
the goalkeeper with no chance.

In the 2nd half, Worlfsburg tried to restore some of their
lost pride and managed to grab a goal in the 54th minute through
their Brazilian striker Grafite who received a through pass
which made him in the clear, he faced the keeper and sent
the ball home into the far corner to make the score 1-3.
Just a minute later, Zidan attempted to dribble
past a couple of players but he was brought down by one of
them and couldn't continue. So, he was replaced by Valdez.
With this result, Dortmund moved up one position
to become 6th in the table and only five points away from
Leverkusen, the leaders.
It should be noted that this is the 3rd consecutive
win for Dortmund. The new role of Zidan as a late striker
behind Barrios is apparently working much better than the
use of Zizou as a play maker.
More on Zidan soon....
