Nwaneri misses a header as Dortmund lose in Bodø

Borussia Dortmund lost 1-0 at Bodø/Glimt in the Champions League on 14 October, and Ethan Nwaneri was on the pitch for it. This is his first match since the Stuttgart game on 19 September.

Flashscore's report says Nwaneri had a golden chance with 15 minutes to play but failed to direct his header past the keeper, Haikin. It calls that Dortmund's best chance of an equaliser. Fredrik Sjøvold scored the only goal. The dpa agency, via Börse Online, puts it in the 52nd minute and says Niko Kovac's substitutions came too late.

Only Flashscore mentions Nwaneri, and the sources I could read do not say whether he started or came off the bench, how long he played, or what the German press rated him. I have no Kicker marks or supporter reaction yet, so this is the one verified moment and nothing more.
