World Cup participants Felix Nmecha, Waldemar Anton, Maximilian Beier, Daniel Svensson, and Carney Chukwuemeka \u2013 who had joined preseason training late \u2013 were part of the traveling squad but were not included in the game roster due to their delayed arrival. For the hosts, former Borussian player Shinji Kagawa led the team onto the field as captain. \n<\/p>\nThe 25,000 spectators could see right from the start that Cerezo was a step ahead in their preseason preparations. Shortly after kickoff, Filippo Mane slid in to take the ball away from Osaka\u2019s Solomon Sakuragawa. Dortmund\u2019s defense was kept busy in the opening stages, and goalkeeper Alex Meyer and Almugera Kabar initially kept the score at 0-0. But in the eighth minute, their resistance was broken: Sakuragawa headed in a corner kick that was unstoppable to make it 1-0.<\/p>\nAfter conceding the goal, BVB began to control the game more. Justin Lerma had his first dangerous shot on goal: however, the new signing curled the ball just past the right post (15th minute). It was the first good chance, but it came to nothing. Shortly afterward, Serhou Guirassy was unable to capitalize on a nice layoff from Takato Yamamoto. The Japanese player had joined BVB from Gamba Osaka just a few weeks earlier. <\/p>\nInstead, it was Cerezo again: Around the half-hour mark, Kagawa drove the ball forward. However, Filippo Mane and Kabar shut down the lively Sakuragawa. Mane was unable to continue after that play and was replaced by Jan-Luca Riedl. Before halftime, BVB had two more chances: Yamamoto\u2019s shot from the edge of the penalty area was blocked (36th minute). Four minutes later, Guirassy had a very good chance, but his shot rolled just wide to the left. Following a quick attack, Yamamoto had once again set up the striker.<\/p>\n<img data-assetref=\"Guirassy-Osaka-1785325591555\" src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/2026/07/29/spielbericht-osaka/Guirassy-Osaka.jpg\"><\/p>\nBVB started the second half without making any substitutions. And once again, it was Cerezo that looked fresher in the sweltering temperatures of around 30 degrees. Yumeki Yokoyama appeared in front of the goal: Yan Couto deflected his acrobatic shot as he turned. In the 58th minute, it was Yokoyama again, but he posed no problems for Meyer. <\/p>\nAfter an hour, BVB coach Niko Kovac brought eight new players into the game; only Meyer and Joane Gadou from the starting lineup remained on the field. One of the new players: Fabio Silva. The striker crossed into the middle in the 68th minute but found no one to receive it. The Borussians continued to lack precision in possession, and the final pass often failed to connect. <\/p>\nSilva squandered the Black and Yellows\u2019 best chance of the second half when the ball landed at his feet following a miscommunication by Cerezos. However, his shot at the near post was blocked at the last second (84th minute). Osaka remained the more dangerous team and had the opportunity to extend their lead with two free kicks shortly before the end\u2014but failed to capitalize on them. Seconds before the final whistle, Romeo Ritter headed the ball into the net, but the goal was disallowed due to a narrow offside call. In the end, the score remained 0\u20131 from BVB\u2019s perspective.<\/p>\n<h2>Onward to Tokyo<\/h2>\nThe final whistle brought the Osaka chapter to a close \u2013 after three eventful days of training, cultural activities, and soccer.
