  "account": "HAMBURG, Germany - September 1: Borussia Dortmund made a strong start to their DFB Cup campaign with a 5-0 victory over 5th tier Hamburg-Eimsbütteler Ballspiel-Club at Volksparkstadion. The match saw heavy rotation from the Bavarian giants as they quickly scored three goals before halftime. Teenage striker Samuele Inácio, who made his season debut, netted two goals and was awarded a red card for a reckless challenge. He showed promise but faced harsh criticism later. Meanwhile, 17-year-old Mathis Albert looked promising on the touchline and in the box, earning a spot in the team and more playing time. The switch to a back four by coach Kovac could be a sign of his intention to adapt tactics against tougher opponents in the future.",
