"Thank-you to every single spectator"

The first European semi-final in 11 years will remain in the memory for every spectator not only because of the 1-0 victory against Paris Saint-Germain: the unbelievable solidarity between the fans and the team at our stadium was once again palpable and served as the basis for the triumph.

Aki Watzke was impressed: "Our fans proved once again this evening why the South Stand and the atmosphere at the stadium are famous across the world and feared by our opponents – it was a demonstration of the absolutely extraordinary culture of the BVB family. We can achieve really great things together! A huge thank-you to every single spectator!"

BVB coach Niko Kovac was without Emre Can, Nico Schlotterbeck, and Mussa Kaba (all in rehab). Gregor Kobel and Julian Ryerson had returned from their World Cup break just a few days earlier and did not make the trip to London, nor did Waldemar Anton (training management) and Diant Ramaj (individual training). New to the squad: Konstantinos Karetsas, who made his debut for BVB just a few days after signing with the club. \n<\/p>\nArsenal dominated the action from the opening whistle and could have scored early. Following a corner, Alex Meyer managed to deflect the ball over the crossbar at the last moment (2nd minute). The first goal, however, came from the other end: A lightning-fast combination involving Fabio Silva and Felix Nmecha sent Samuele Inacio deep, and he slotted the ball into the far corner with a single touch \u2013 1\u20130 from Dortmund\u2019s perspective (7th minute). A fine goal. <\/p>\nFor Arsenal, Viktor Gyökeres was then in the spotlight several times: first with a free kick from 17 meters that he sent over the wall and the goal. Meyer also intercepted a cross from Kai Havertz intended for the Swede. More dangerous was Gyökeres\u2019s swiveling shot in the 26th minute. In between, Maxi Beier (21st minute) and Daniel Svensson (23rd minute) each missed the Arsenal goal with headers.  <\/p>\nBVB was still able to extend their lead after half an hour: Arsenal gave Karetsas too much space, and the new signing punished them ruthlessly. With great finesse, he curled the ball into the corner from the edge of the box with his powerful left foot to make it 2\u20130 \u2013 a dream goal for a perfect debut!<\/p>\nArsenal pushed for a goal before halftime, but Gabriel and Havertz both headed wide (39th, 43rd).

Arsenal responded through Ben White, whose attempt was deflected into the side netting. Ethan Nwaneri did better in the 54th minute: A cross from a central position found the Englishman, who slotted it home to make it 1\u20132. <\/p>\nJust four minutes later, BVB responded: After a corner, Silva flicked the ball on, and Gadou elegantly met it in the air and powered it into the net for a 3\u20131 lead (58th minute).<\/p>\nBut the hosts pressed for another goal, forcing Dortmund goalkeeper Meyer into several saves: He dove just in time to stop Myles Lewis-Skelly (61st), and made a follow-up save against Max Dowman (63rd). He was powerless to stop the penalty kick in the 69th minute. Gyökeres shot into the right corner, while Meyer was diving the other way. The 2\u20133 goal was also the final score. In the closing stages, neither Arsenal nor BVB\u2014partly due to numerous substitutions \u2013 managed to create any compelling chances. <\/p>\n<img data-assetref=\"Nmecha-Arsenal-1786284685603\" src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/2026/08/09/spielbericht-arsenal/Nmecha-Arsenal.jpg\"><\/p>\nAt the request of Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta, both teams took part in a penalty shootout after the final whistle, which the English team won.<\/p>\nThis coming Saturday, Borussia Dortmund\u2019s first team will face AS Roma as part of the season opener and make their first appearance of the season at SIGNAL IDUNA PARK.

The trio will remain with the Bundesliga team\u2019s training squad until further notice. In their place, Arne Wessels made his first appearance of the season after returning from the trip to Japan with the first-team squad. Alongside the attacking player, Elias Benkara and Connor Krempicki also made the starting lineup. The Black and Yellows\u2019 goal was once again guarded by 18-year-old Aaron Held. And the two youngsters, Luke Fahrenhorst and Fadi Zarqelain, earned Rios\u2019s trust again following their strong performance in the 1-1 draw in Bochum.<\/p>\n<h2>Match Summary<\/b><\/h2>\nThe 5,336 spectators at Rote Erde Stadium\u2014including 674 visiting fans\u2014created a special atmosphere for the first home game of the new season. Against this backdrop, Dortmund played more attractively than FC in the opening stages. Luke Fahrenhorst, in particular, proved to be a key asset in central midfield, repeatedly trying to spark the offense as a target man and playmaker.<\/p>\nHowever, it was a Cologne player who created the first dangerous opportunity\u2014albeit unintentionally. While building up play, FC goalkeeper Mikolai Marutzki played the ball straight to Tim Degener\u2019s feet, but his touch was too sloppy (10). In the ensuing play, BVB showed tenacity in one-on-one duels, won the ball back frequently, and repeatedly made an impact on offense. Seven minutes after the first chance, a murmur rippled through the stadium following a nice pass from Bennedikt Wüstenhagen, as Malik Hodroj, who had pushed forward, surprised Cologne\u2019s keeper with a shot from a tight angle. The ball, however, flew out of bounds. Another long-range attempt by Hodroj (31'), which was dangerously deflected, marked the third opportunity for the home team. This phase of the game made it clear that Rios\u2019s team still lacked the necessary decisiveness and cutting edge in the final third.<\/p>\nDefensively, meanwhile, the Black and Yellows allowed hardly any dangerous shots on goal. It wasn\u2019t until just before halftime that Aaron Held had to make his first save, following a free kick by Emin Kujovic from about 18 meters out in a central position (36').<\/p>\nAfter the break, BVB immediately took control again and pressed for the opening goal. First, Arne Wessels tried his luck with a long-range shot (46'), then Marutzki tipped a header from Elias Benkara over the crossbar with his fingertips. But then the moment finally arrived: BVB captain Jesper Verlaat headed a cross from the left flank down to Degener, who blasted the ball into the right corner with his left foot for a well-deserved 1-0 lead (59').<\/p>\nAfter conceding the goal, Cologne suddenly looked much more determined and created their first chances. Malek El Mala, the older brother of Cologne\u2019s rising star Said El Mala, capitalized on one of them to tie the game at 1\u20131 (67'). Shortly afterward, Finn Fuchs could have put BVB back in the lead. The left back found himself alone in front of the FC goal after a neat one-two with Degener, but from a few meters out, he sent the ball just wide of the left post.<\/p>\nCheered on by the BVB fans, who vociferously supported the team throughout the match, BVB mustered all their strength once more in the closing stages but failed to create any clear-cut chances. The score thus remained 1\u20131.<\/p>\n<h2>Post-match comments for players<\/h2>\nDaniel Rios (U23 Head Coach): <\/b>\u201cI think the team gave it their all. Of course, it\u2019s frustrating when you put in so much effort\u2014both with and without the ball\u2014and then only come away with one point. That doesn\u2019t feel great. In the first half, there were periods when we were too erratic in the final third. We did better in that regard at times in the second half. We also won the second balls there, which is something we lacked a bit in the first half. But overall, it comes down to the details. Scoring goals is the hardest thing in soccer. But we\u2019ll work on it, and I\u2019m convinced that in the future, the lads will reward themselves with three points\u2014not just one.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Outlook<\/b><\/h2>\nThis coming Friday (14 August, live on <a href=\"https://www.leagues.football/\">LEAGUES<\/a>), the U23s will face newly promoted Bergisch Gladbach on the road.
