All of Dortmund\u2019s World Cup players are still on vacation, and captain Emre Can will be sidelined for months anyway following his cruciate ligament tear.&nbsp;<br>\n<\/p>\n<p>As a result, Jan-Luca Riedl, a 17-year-old defender from BVB\u2019s U19 team, started right away, and the aforementioned midfield gem Justin Lerma\u2014one of the summer signings\u2014also started from the beginning.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In total, seven players in BVB\u2019s starting lineup were 20 years old or younger.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The early stages of the match at Stadion Niederrhein clearly belonged to the home team from Oberhausen. RWO played with spirit, repeatedly pressing high up the field against Dortmund\u2019s back three of Jan-Luca Riedl, Filippo Mane, and Luca Reggiani.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The young Dortmund team gave the ball away quickly several times while building up play, and one of those turnovers proved costly: In the fifth minute, Oberhausen\u2019s Luca Vincent Schlax reacted sharply, playing a ball he\u2019d won in midfield directly to Timur Kesim, who slotted it neatly into the right corner of the net.<\/p>\n<p>It took BVB over a quarter of an hour to get into the game. Before halftime, the visitors\u2019 pressure grew steadily, but first Fabio Silva and Jobe Bellingham failed to capitalize on a double chance\u2014both were denied by RWO goalkeeper Ryan Valentine, just as Luca Reggiani had been moments earlier with a header.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Shortly before halftime, the ball fell to Justin Lerma\u2019s feet in the penalty area. After a blocked shot by Albert, the debutant from Ecuador reacted quickest and finished from a tight angle to tie the game.<\/p>\n<h2><b>BVB Makes Eleven Substitutions at Halftime&nbsp;<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>After this meager halftime score, the Borussians pushed hard for a quick lead in the second half. BVB head coach Niko Kovac replaced the entire team, bringing in additional new signings Takato Yamamoto and Joane Gadou. Additionally, 16-year-old Marwan Mirza made his debut for the BVB First team at right back.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The goal that made it 2-1 in the 55th minute was a top-priority play! After 17-year-old Enzo Duarte (also from the club\u2019s own youth academy) held his ground against several defenders, Serhou Guirassy got on the end of the ball in the penalty area. Dortmund\u2019s top scorer didn\u2019t hesitate, blasting the ball into the near corner from 13 meters out.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Ten minutes later, the Guinean had a chance to score BVB\u2019s third goal, but RWO goalkeeper Valentine once again made a superb save.<\/p>\n<p>While the Regionalliga side\u2019s energy levels noticeably waned in front of 7,359 spectators, Dortmund continued to push the pace. Dortmund\u2019s third goal was scored in the 78th minute by another debutant, Takato Yamamoto.

All of Dortmund\u2019s World Cup players are still on vacation, and captain Emre Can will be sidelined for months anyway following his cruciate ligament tear.&nbsp;<br>\n<\/p>\n<p>As a result, Jan-Luca Riedl, a 17-year-old defender from BVB\u2019s U19 team, started right away, and the aforementioned midfield gem Justin Lerma\u2014one of the summer signings\u2014also started from the beginning.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In total, seven players in BVB\u2019s starting lineup were 20 years old or younger.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The early stages of the match at Stadion Niederrhein clearly belonged to the home team from Oberhausen. RWO played with spirit, repeatedly pressing high up the field against Dortmund\u2019s back three of Jan-Luca Riedl, Filippo Mane, and Luca Reggiani.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The young Dortmund team gave the ball away quickly several times while building up play, and one of those turnovers proved costly: In the fifth minute, Oberhausen\u2019s Luca Vincent Schlax reacted sharply, playing a ball he\u2019d won in midfield directly to Timur Kesim, who slotted it neatly into the right corner of the net.<\/p>\n<p>It took BVB over a quarter of an hour to get into the game. Before halftime, the visitors\u2019 pressure grew steadily, but first Fabio Silva and Jobe Bellingham failed to capitalize on a double chance\u2014both were denied by RWO goalkeeper Ryan Valentine, just as Luca Reggiani had been moments earlier with a header.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Shortly before halftime, the ball fell to Justin Lerma\u2019s feet in the penalty area. After a blocked shot by Albert, the debutant from Ecuador reacted quickest and finished from a tight angle to tie the game.<\/p>\n<h2><b>BVB Makes Eleven Substitutions at Halftime&nbsp;<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>After this meager halftime score, the Borussians pushed hard for a quick lead in the second half. BVB head coach Niko Kovac replaced the entire team, bringing in additional new signings Takato Yamamoto and Joane Gadou. Additionally, 16-year-old Marwan Mirza made his debut for the BVB First team at right back.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The goal that made it 2-1 in the 55th minute was a top-priority play! After 17-year-old Enzo Duarte (also from the club\u2019s own youth academy) held his ground against several defenders, Serhou Guirassy got on the end of the ball in the penalty area. Dortmund\u2019s top scorer didn\u2019t hesitate, blasting the ball into the near corner from 13 meters out.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Ten minutes later, the Guinean had a chance to score BVB\u2019s third goal, but RWO goalkeeper Valentine once again made a superb save.<\/p>\n<p>While the Regionalliga side\u2019s energy levels noticeably waned in front of 7,359 spectators, Dortmund continued to push the pace.
