It was a straightforward header from close range that put Borussia Dortmund 3-1 ahead in the second half of its league game Saturday, but the simplicity of the goal should not mask its significance.
Sébastien Haller’s goal was his first since returning to play three weeks ago, having needed to take time off from the sport to undergo treatment for testicular cancer. He happened to score on International World Cancer Day, an occasion the German club marked by putting a ‘tumor’ on the center circle before the match and at halftime to raise awareness of testicular cancer.
The Ivory Coast international scored 47 goals in 66 games for his former club Ajax during an 18-month spell, 11 of which came in the Champions League. He signed for Dortmund on July 6 but began to feel unwell during a preseason training camp in Switzerland later that month. Dortmund’s sporting director Sebastian Kehl told Sky Sports: “We were all happy for Sébastien. He’s been working towards this day for a long time, it’s a big weight off his shoulders, we’re all excited and overjoyed.
