Serhou Guirassy etched his name into Borussia Dortmund’s history books by equalling the club’s record for the most goals in a debut Bundesliga season.
The Guinea international achieved the feat during Dortmund’s 4-2 triumph over Bayer Leverkusen on Sunday.
Guirassy’s goal against Xabi Alonso’s side marked his 20th in the 2024-25 Bundesliga campaign, drawing him level with Dortmund legends Friedhelm Konietzka, Norbert Dickel, and Stephane Chapuisat, who also netted 20 goals in their respective first seasons with the club.
His accomplishment highlights his remarkable impact since joining Dortmund, particularly in a season marked by fierce competition at the top of the table.
The match itself was a thrilling contest, with Dortmund and Leverkusen exchanging attacking opportunities.
Guirassy’s goal played a pivotal role in securing the three points, keeping Dortmund’s hopes alive in their pursuit of European qualification.
The striker showcased his instinctive finishing ability, capitalizing on a precise delivery to add his name to the scoresheet.
Since his arrival from Stuttgart, Guirassy has seamlessly adapted to Dortmund’s attacking philosophy.
His consistent scoring form has been integral to the team’s performance, and his record-equaling goal against Leverkusen further solidifies his reputation as one of the Bundesliga’s most prolific forwards this season.
Guirassy now has the opportunity to claim the record outright when Dortmund face Holstein Kiel in the final fixture of the Bundesliga season.
Should he find the net once more, he will surpass the trio of Konietzka, Dickel, and Chapuisat, cementing his legacy in Dortmund’s illustrious history.
With his impressive tally, Guirassy has not only proven his value to the team but also drawn the admiration of fans and pundits alike.
The upcoming fixture against Holstein Kiel could be a historic occasion, as the striker looks to become Dortmund’s undisputed top debut season scorer.
