Kenyan winger Linton Maina could not do anything to prevent struggling FC Koln from being battered by Borussia Dortmund 4-0 at home in a Bundesliga encounter on Saturday afternoon.
Maina did have a decent outing, as he was rated to have given a 7.0 performance by Sofascore as he registered a 0.04 expected goals ratio as his only attempted shot hit the woodwork and a 0.06 expected assists ratio.
He was successful with all his dribble attempts and also did fairly well with his defensive work, making two tackles and interceptions all game.

STARS ABROAD Erick ‘Marcelo’ Ouma readies for intensive training in Turkey with Rakow Czestochowa
Harambee Stars' Erick 'Marcelo' Ouma is set to join Rakow Czestochowa for a training camp in Turkey as defending Polish champions gear up.
Malen doubled his tally in the second half, adding to Niclas Fullkrug's penalty and a stoppage-time goal from Youssoufa Moukoko.
Manchester United loanee Jadon Sancho had won the penalty before Fulkrug converted it but caused controversy moments before as he attempted to snatch the ball away from the German striker.

Koln are just one point above 18th and their hopes of surviving the league this season are not looking good.
