Black Stars defender, Derrick Kohn
Derrick Kohn delivered a full-match performance, but it wasn’t enough to prevent Union Berlin from suffering a heavy 4-0 defeat to Bayern Munich.
The left-sided defender played the entire 90 minutes in what proved to be a difficult outing for Union Berlin against the Bundesliga giants.
Despite the scoreline, Kohn remained involved throughout the contest, registering 30 touches and trying to contribute both defensively and in transition.
Kohn showed glimpses of attacking intent, attempting a shot from outside the box and completing 4 of his 6 passes in the final third. Overall, he maintained a solid passing accuracy, completing 12 of his 14 passes, including 2 successful long balls out of 3 attempts.
Defensively, the Ghanaian was kept busy as Bayern Munich applied relentless pressure. He recorded 2 clearances and 1 blocked shot, while also winning 1 of his 2 tackles. In duels, Kohn contested 5 battles, winning 2 on the ground, reflecting the challenge of containing Bayern’s fluid attack.
However, it was a frustrating night in parts, with Kohn caught offside twice and committing a foul as Union Berlin struggled to gain control of the game.
Ultimately, Bayern Munich’s quality proved decisive, leaving Union Berlin with little room to respond.
While the result will be disappointing, Kohn’s full-game involvement highlights his growing role in the squad as he continues to gain experience at the top level.
He was rated 6.2 after the game.
