Borussia Dortmund player ratings as Schlotterbeck, Beier and Inacio stand out

Borussia Dortmund closed out their final home match of the season with a 3-2 win over Eintracht Frankfurt on Matchday 33 of the Bundesliga, and the ratings told the story of the night. Nico Schlotterbeck was the clear standout, Maximilian Beier kept supplying the final ball, and 18-year-old Samuele Inacio scored his first senior goal in front of the South Stand.

Schlotterbeck set the tone at both ends

Schlotterbeck's display was the most complete of the evening. He scored in the 45+1st minute, his fifth Bundesliga goal of the season, and the numbers back up why he was rated the highest of Dortmund's starters.

That is unusually strong output for a centre-back, and it came in a game where Dortmund needed control after Can Uzun opened the scoring for Frankfurt in the 2nd minute. Borussia Dortmund then had to ride the early setback, and Schlotterbeck's presence in both boxes helped steady the match.

Samuele Inacio was the other major talking point. He made his third consecutive start, scored his first senior goal in the 72nd minute and did it in front of the South Stand. His 7.6 rating fits the performance, because the teenager gave Dortmund a late spark without looking overawed.

Beier and the younger runners gave Dortmund their edge

Beier's end product was the other reason Dortmund's attack kept turning over chances. He supplied two assists and finished the league campaign with 18 goals and 19 assists in 32 Bundesliga appearances, a level of output that made him Dortmund's most productive creator-finisher combination across the season.

Serhou Guirassy benefited from that service for the equaliser, and Julian Brandt also had a hand in the attacking rhythm. The main impression, though, was that Dortmund's best moments came when Beier was repeatedly involved in the final action.

The win also secured second place with a game to spare, which is the sort of detail that makes the ratings feel a little less isolated than they first appear. Dortmund finished the job at home, with Schlotterbeck's authority, Beier's creativity and Inacio's first senior goal doing most of the heavy lifting in a 3-2 result.
