Oliver Sorg 90 Shinji Kagawa starred on his return for Borussia Dortmund in a 3-1 win over Freiburg in the Bundesliga in Saturday. Kagawa, back at Dortmund after an unhappy two-year spell at Manchester United,
was given a hero’s welcome by fans who remembered his role in helping the club to back-to-back Bundesliga titles in 2011 and 2012.
The Japan midfielder had a hand in Adrian Ramos’s opening goal in the 34th minute, playing through Kevin Groskreutz to cross for the Colombian striker at the post.
Kagawa then scored on a counterattack in the 41st minute, when Henrikh Mkhitaryan let Ramos’ cross through for him to pick his spot with a low shot.
Kagawa had to go off in the 64th with cramp, a “good sign” according to the Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp,
while the Dortmund midfielder Sebastian Kehl said: “Shinji was smiling the whole time, at least until he got the cramp.”
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang secured the result with a chip over the outrushing goalkeeper in the 78th minute, just three minutes after coming on as a substitute.
