Dortmund dominating frustrated in front of the goal
In what was frustrating but above all comfortable 90 minutes for Dortmund in Cincinnati, the first real chance of the match fell with Julian Ryerson of Dortmund after a quarter of an hour. But the effort of the Norwegian lateral back was largely curled up.
A little less than 10 minutes later, Dortmund should have been in front of an incisive exchange between Guirassy and Bellingham saw the first carrying the goal.
However, his weak effort did not do much to disturb Olys between the sticks of Ulsan.
The South Korean goalkeeper again showed his references a few moments later, when Guirassy had another glorious chance of giving Dortmund the advance, but the 33-year-old shooter was equal to him.
Bellingham then stole before the former Birmingham and Sunderland playmaker hides a wide effort from a narrow angle.
Dortmund showed their superiority, dominating possession and creating chances, but the Bundesliga side proved a waste in front of the objective.
Before kick -off, the TQL stadium had an average of six goals per match in the tournament. This statistic seemed to be in danger of being considerably hampered here, but on 36 minutes, Svensson finally broke the dead end, pulling the altruistic implementation of Bellingham.

Felix Nmecha led a shot that penetrated closely in front of the post before Olympics impressively from Pascal Groß and Guirassy while the side of Kovac went in search of a second before the break, but in vain.
A second lively half of the South Korean club
Ulsan showed a little more fight at the start of the second half, recording his first attempted target in the 47th minute.
Bellingham, on a yellow card, was replaced shortly before the hour when Kovac sounded changes.
But it was Ulsan who was in the ascent. The South Korean team saw its best chance a few minutes later when Jin-Hyun Lee’s strike was ready by Gregor Kobel before the Dortmund goalkeeper was tested by Ko Seung-Beom.
At the other end, Jo again showed remarkable reflexes to push Yan Couto’s scratched shot around the post.
He turned out to be the last real chance in the competition. Dortmund saw the game and avoided the humiliation of an early tournament.
