Scores in win
Beier scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 1-0 win against VfB Stuttgart.
Analysis: Beier scored the game's only goal Saturday, adding three shots and three tackles. He has started the new campaign well, recording one goal and two assists through four appearances and is on pace for a stronger season of goal contributions.
Assists Saturday
Beier assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Saturday's 3-0 win over SC Paderborn.
Analysis: Beier subbed onto the pitch in the 77th minute Saturday and just three minutes later assisted Felix Nmecha's goal which took the 2-0 lead. It was the only chance he created in his short bench appearance and it marked his second assist through three matches this season.
Available for Supercup
Beier is available for Saturday's Supercup match against Bayern Munich, according to coach Niko Kovac. "We got Maxi Beier back this week, someone who wasn't there for the last game against Roma."
Analysis: Beier had recently been dealing with knee problems after taking a knock, which forced him to miss the preseason finale against AS Roma, but he's now fully fit again heading into the competitive opener. His return gives coach Niko Kovac another attacking option to call upon as Dortmund kick off their season against Bayern.
Misses friendly with knee issue
Beier will miss Borussia Dortmund's friendly against AS Roma on Saturday after taking a blow to his knee, the club announced.
Analysis: Beier was ruled out of Borussia Dortmund's friendly against AS Roma on Saturday after receiving a blow to his knee, although the club has not provided a specific diagnosis, severity or recovery timeline. The immediate focus will be on monitoring the knee and determining when he can safely return to training before he is considered for another appearance. His ability to play on the wing or as either of the two attacking players behind the striker gives Borussia Dortmund flexibility once he is available again.
Pair of assists in win
Beier assisted twice to go with one shot (zero on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and three chances created in Friday's 3-2 win versus Eintracht Frankfurt.
Analysis: Beier provided a pair of assists on three chances created during Friday's win. The winger was brilliant throughout the match and his two assists proved to be massive in the 3-2 win. Beier hasn't entirely broken out like Dortmund might have hoped but he's improved his all-around game week-to-week in his time with Dortmund and has plenty of upside as a finisher and creator.
Opens the scoring Sunday
Beier scored a goal while taking two shots (one on goal), crossing twice inaccurately, creating two chances and making three interceptions during Sunday's 4-0 win over Freiburg.
Analysis: Beier found the back of the net after just eight minutes while leading Dortmund in interceptions. The goal was the first since March 7th for the wing-back as he's combined for four shots, two chances created and seven crosses over his last three appearances.
