Serhou Guirassy has two Bundesliga goals in his first two appearances this season, and that quick start has already put Harry Kane back under pressure in the scoring race. He has also added one assist in 177 Bundesliga minutes, while Kane is still on zero Bundesliga goals from two appearances.
Dortmund's fast start
The strike rate has come in the kind of opening that Borussia Dortmund wanted. They have won their first three competitive matches, and Guirassy was central to the most eye-catching one, scoring and assisting in the 3-2 comeback win over 1899 Hoffenheim.
That run matters because Dortmund have not been relying on one clean, narrow finish from their No 9. Guirassy has been involved in goals in different ways, and the assist against Hoffenheim shows he is doing more than waiting for chances to fall to him.
Kane's early chase
There is also the broader race with Bayern München's striker. The article's line on Guirassy is straightforward: he has made an early statement, and he knows what it is like to finish just behind the Bayern star. The gap is still tiny this early in the season, but Kane's blank leaves Guirassy ahead for now.
Guirassy's next appearance, against Villarreal in the Champions League, will be his 100th for Borussia Dortmund. If he carries this league form into that game, Dortmund will already have one of the sharper early-season scoring stories in Germany.
