Training on Thursday: Battling the heat, fighting for the first competitive win

The BVB players are in the midst of their preparations for their first competitive match, in which they will face Rot-Weiss Essen in the first round of the DFB-Pokal on Monday (18/08, 20:45 CEST). Niko Kovac put his team through a strenuous training session in Dortmund-Brackel on Thursday afternoon: the Black & Yellows worked hard in 33-degree heat to ensure their first competitive win of the 2025/26 season.

In addition to top scorer Ryerson (11 assists), who was suspended after receiving one too many yellow cards, Carney Chukwuemeka (muscle problems), Niklas Süle and Filippo Mane were also missing.<\/p>\nThe match \n<\/b>The Black & Yellows got off to a nervy start and spent the first 10 to 15 minutes on the back foot against dominant visitors who were practically playing in a 2-4-4 formation with extremely high full-backs. Even after the initial flurry, BVB were largely forced to defend. Frustratingly, any hard-won possession was quickly squandered by simple mistakes. \n<\/b><\/p>\nThe shot count was 0-5 after 25 minutes \u2013 then Borussia took the lead with their first shot on goal! And as so often \u2013 in the eighth game in a row \u2013 a set piece helped: Nico Schlotterbeck headed Daniel Svensson's free kick into the net (26). Captain Emre Can had to receive lengthy treatment after a push from Konrad Laimer (40), but was able to continue until shortly before the half-time whistle. Ramy Bensebaini was already ready to come on as a substitute at the interval, but ended up coming on before the break and played on the right of the back three for the first time.<\/p>\n<img src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/2026/02/28/bl-spielbericht/39-Schlotterbeck.jpg\" data-assetref=\"39-Schlotterbeck-1772303170180\"><\/p>\nThe second half was a thrilling affair. Felix Nmecha played in Svensson (50) and Maximilian Beier (53) with some fine passes, but neither of them could capitalise on the opportunities. Instead of Dortmund scoring a second, Harry Kane made it 1-1: Joshua Kimmich intercepted a short clearance, chipped the ball to Serge Gnabry on the left side of the box, who squared it to the Munich striker with his head, who then only had to tap it in (54).<\/p>\nThe visitors from Munich continued to have more possession, but the Black & Yellows kept pushing forward, creating further good chances for Maximilian Beier (56) and Yan Couto (65). The ratio of shots was 4-4 in the second half at that point. Then Michael Olise sent Josip Stanisic into the penalty area on the right, who cut inside Schlotterbeck and took advantage of his outstretched leg to sell the \u2018contact\u2019 and go to ground. Penalty, Kane against Gregor Kobel, who got a hand to it but couldn't prevent the ball from going in (70).<\/p>\n<img src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/2026/02/28/bl-spielbericht/39-Sabitzer.jpg\" data-assetref=\"39-Sabitzer-1772307248416\"><\/p>\nNiko Kovac responded with a triple substitution: Samuele Inacio made his Bundesliga debut, while Brandt and Bellingham came on for Beier, Nmecha and Adeyemi (75). And BVB fought back. Couto pushed forward, Sabitzer crossed, Guirassy couldn't get to the ball in the centre, but Svensson did, scoring a spectacular goal to make it 2-2 (83). Shortly afterwards, Brandt teed up Guirassy, who narrowly missed the target. Instead of 3-2 for Dortmund, however, it was 3-2 for Munich. Bellingham's header from Olise's cross didn't clear far enough, and Kimmich was on hand to volley home (87).<\/p>\nOutlook \n<\/b>Next Saturday, also at 18:30 CET, Borussia Dortmund will face 1.

In addition to top scorer Ryerson (11 assists), who was suspended after receiving one too many yellow cards, Carney Chukwuemeka (muscle problems), Niklas Süle and Filippo Mane were also missing.<\/p>\nThe match \n<\/b>The Black & Yellows got off to a nervy start and spent the first 10 to 15 minutes on the back foot against dominant visitors who were practically playing in a 2-4-4 formation with extremely high full-backs. Even after the initial flurry, BVB were largely forced to defend. Frustratingly, any hard-won possession was quickly squandered by simple mistakes. \n<\/b><\/p>\nThe shot count was 0-5 after 25 minutes \u2013 then Borussia took the lead with their first shot on goal! And as so often \u2013 in the eighth game in a row \u2013 a set piece helped: Nico Schlotterbeck headed Daniel Svensson's free kick into the net (26). Captain Emre Can had to receive lengthy treatment after a push from Konrad Laimer (40), but was able to continue until shortly before the half-time whistle. Ramy Bensebaini was already ready to come on as a substitute at the interval, but ended up coming on before the break and played on the right of the back three for the first time.<\/p>\n<img src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/2026/02/28/bl-spielbericht/39-Schlotterbeck.jpg\" data-assetref=\"39-Schlotterbeck-1772303170180\"><\/p>\nThe second half was a thrilling affair. Felix Nmecha played in Svensson (50) and Maximilian Beier (53) with some fine passes, but neither of them could capitalise on the opportunities. Instead of Dortmund scoring a second, Harry Kane made it 1-1: Joshua Kimmich intercepted a short clearance, chipped the ball to Serge Gnabry on the left side of the box, who squared it to the Munich striker with his head, who then only had to tap it in (54).<\/p>\nThe visitors from Munich continued to have more possession, but the Black & Yellows kept pushing forward, creating further good chances for Maximilian Beier (56) and Yan Couto (65). The ratio of shots was 4-4 in the second half at that point. Then Michael Olise sent Josip Stanisic into the penalty area on the right, who cut inside Schlotterbeck and took advantage of his outstretched leg to sell the \u2018contact\u2019 and go to ground. Penalty, Kane against Gregor Kobel, who got a hand to it but couldn't prevent the ball from going in (70).<\/p>\n<img src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/2026/02/28/bl-spielbericht/39-Sabitzer.jpg\" data-assetref=\"39-Sabitzer-1772307248416\"><\/p>\nNiko Kovac responded with a triple substitution: Samuele Inacio made his Bundesliga debut, while Brandt and Bellingham came on for Beier, Nmecha and Adeyemi (75). And BVB fought back. Couto pushed forward, Sabitzer crossed, Guirassy couldn't get to the ball in the centre, but Svensson did, scoring a spectacular goal to make it 2-2 (83). Shortly afterwards, Brandt teed up Guirassy, who narrowly missed the target. Instead of 3-2 for Dortmund, however, it was 3-2 for Munich. Bellingham's header from Olise's cross didn't clear far enough, and Kimmich was on hand to volley home (87).<\/p>\nOutlook \n<\/b>Next Saturday, also at 18:30 CET, Borussia Dortmund will face 1.

After last week's draw in Leipzig, the Black & Yellows are eight points behind the leaders. BVB have collected a total of 52 points so far, which would have been enough to top the table in half of all seasons since the introduction of the three-point rule. <\/p>\nThe Black & Yellows are the only team yet to suffer a home defeat in this Bundesliga season. In fact, they have lost only one of their last 31 games, which was this season's reverse fixture in Munich.<\/p>\nThe opponent \n <\/b>While BVB regularly collect points at home, FC Bayern Munich are the only Bundesliga team without an away defeat. Bayern have won away nine times this season, with two away games ending in draws. One reason for this is their attack, with Bayern having already scored 85 goals this season, which is a new Bundesliga record after 23 matches. \u201cFC Bayern Munich are a top team that will demand everything from us. We have to play to our very best from the first to the last second, because that's the ultimate in Europe,\u201d said Kovac.<\/p>\nBVB lost the reverse fixture 1-2 but came close to equalising after improving during the match. \u201cWe have to take the second half in Munich as an example.
