Ethan Nwaneri at Borussia Dortmund · 16 October 2026
Nwaneri subbed off in goalless draw at Union Berlin
Ethan Nwaneri played about an hour of Dortmund's 0-0 draw at Union Berlin on Friday 16 October, a Bundesliga match missed by earlier checks, and the German ratings were poor. Bundesliga.com lists the match as a 16 October evening kick-off. Sports Mole says he was substituted in the 62nd minute; Goal's account, as Sports Mole quotes it, puts his time at 60 minutes.
Berliner Kurier reports that referee Daniel Schlager first showed Nwaneri a red card after about 18 seconds, for a tackle on Tom Rothe, then corrected it to yellow.
Sports Mole's round-up of the German marks: BVBWild gave him 4.5 and Ran gave him 5. It also says Ruhr Nachrichten gave 5 out of 10. Ran cited weak ball control and poor finishing. Ruhr24 praised his effort but questioned his decisions. Goal called him Dortmund's most dangerous player in that spell but largely anonymous. Sports Mole says he won four of 11 duels and created no chance.
I found no Kicker mark and nothing on how the Dortmund supporters took it. This was Dortmund's second league game in a row without a win, after the 1-0 defeat at Bodø/Glimt in the Champions League on 14 October.
