Subsequently, BVB, playing in a 3-4-2-1 formation, were only able to put Frankfurt under pressure and create chances sporadically: Brandt and Bellingham had efforts from near the edge of the box (in the 25th and 26th minute respectively). Guirassy also blasted the ball over the bar in the 28th minute, but he was in an offside position to begin with in any case.

Despite being under pressure, Serhou Guirassy managed to turn Ryerson\u2019s sharp cross into the net from five metres out (42). Shortly afterwards, the impressive Jobe Bellingham played the ball on to Maxi Beier on the edge of the box, whose cross was latched onto by the onrushing Nico Schlotterbeck from near the byline to make it 2-1 (45+2).<\/p>\n<p>Borussia started the second half with intensity, but it wasn\u2019t until the hour mark that they looked truly dangerous again: a shot from Ryerson was well saved by Zetterer. Just as Eintracht began to make their presence felt in attack again following Mario Götze\u2019s introduction, and looked to be on the verge of an equaliser (Kobel saved from Uzun, 62), Samuele Inacio scored the crucial goal to open up a 3-1 lead. It was his first goal in the Bundesliga. The 18-year-old Italian had initially been stopped on the edge of the box, but his teammates kept pressing. Beier then crossed in from the left byline, Inacio timed his run to perfection and slotted the ball home with his right foot (72).<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/2026/05/08/bl-spielbericht/95M-Frankfurt.jpg\" data-assetref=\"95M-Frankfurt-1778268729867\"><\/p>\n<p>But things got exciting again.

Subsequently, BVB, playing in a 3-4-2-1 formation, were only able to put Frankfurt under pressure and create chances sporadically: Brandt and Bellingham had efforts from near the edge of the box (in the 25th and 26th minute respectively). Guirassy also blasted the ball over the bar in the 28th minute, but he was in an offside position to begin with in any case. The team\u2019s play was too static overall.<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/2026/05/08/bl-spielbericht/95-Inacio.jpg\" data-assetref=\"95-Inacio-1778268743761\"><\/p>\n<p>But just before half-time, the Black &amp; Yellows turned the game on its head: Brandt skipped past Theate and then passed to Sabitzer, who played Julian Ryerson in on the right wing. Despite being under pressure, Serhou Guirassy managed to turn Ryerson\u2019s sharp cross into the net from five metres out (42). Shortly afterwards, the impressive Jobe Bellingham played the ball on to Maxi Beier on the edge of the box, whose cross was latched onto by the onrushing Nico Schlotterbeck from near the byline to make it 2-1 (45+2).<\/p>\n<p>Borussia started the second half with intensity, but it wasn\u2019t until the hour mark that they looked truly dangerous again: a shot from Ryerson was well saved by Zetterer. Just as Eintracht began to make their presence felt in attack again following Mario Götze\u2019s introduction, and looked to be on the verge of an equaliser (Kobel saved from Uzun, 62), Samuele Inacio scored the crucial goal to open up a 3-1 lead. It was his first goal in the Bundesliga. The 18-year-old Italian had initially been stopped on the edge of the box, but his teammates kept pressing. Beier then crossed in from the left byline, Inacio timed his run to perfection and slotted the ball home with his right foot (72).<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/2026/05/08/bl-spielbericht/95M-Frankfurt.jpg\" data-assetref=\"95M-Frankfurt-1778268729867\"><\/p>\n<p>But things got exciting again. Knauff broke through on the left. Then the ball fell to Burkardt, who simply had to slot it home to make it 3-2 (87).<\/p>\n<p>The season draws to a close for the Black &amp; Yellows next Saturday (15:30 CEST) at the Weserstadion in Bremen.<\/p>\n<h2><b>BORUSSIA DORTMUND 3-2 (2-1) EINTRACHT FRANKFURT<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><b>Bundesliga, Matchday 33&nbsp;<br>\n <\/b>Friday, 8 May 2026, 20:30 CEST<\/p>\n<p><b>BVB: <\/b>Kobel \u2013 Reggiani, Anton, Schlotterbeck \u2013 Ryerson, Sabitzer (78, Özcan), Bellingham (74, Nmecha), Beier \u2013 Inacio, Brandt (74, Adeyemi) \u2013 Guirassy (78, Silva)<br>\n<b>Substitutes:<\/b> Meyer, Couto, Chukwuemeka, Svensson, Süle<br>\n<b>Unavailable: <\/b>Bensebaini, Can (both injured)<\/p>\n<p><b>SGE:<\/b> Zetterer \u2013 Amenda, Theate, Koch, Brown \u2013 Skhiri, Doan (82, Burkardt), Uzun (77, Amaimouni-Echghouyab), Dahoud (57, Götze), Chaibi (57, Bahoya) \u2013 Kalimuendo (77, Knauff)<br>\n<b>Substitutes:<\/b> Kaua Santos, Chandler, Höjlund, Larsson<\/p>\n<p><b>Goals:<\/b> 0-1 Uzun (2, Dahoud), 1-1 Guirassy (42, Ryerson), 2-1 Schlotterbeck (45+1, Beier), 3-1 Inacio (72, Beier), 3-2 Burkardt (87, Knauf)<br>\n<b>Bookings:<\/b> Reggiani, Inacio, Kobel<br>\n<b>Referee:<\/b> Ittrich (Hamburg)<br>\n<b>Attendance:<\/b> 81,365 (sold-out) at SIGNAL IDUNA PARK<br>\n<i>Boris Rupert<\/i><\/p>\n<p><img src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/2026/05/08/bl-spielbericht/95-Grafik.jpg\" data-assetref=\"95-Grafik-1778268711015\"><\/p>\n","exportedType":"text/html"},"id":"editable-a681d4a835","prio":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"boolean","name":"prio","title":"Prio (Clubplatform)","multiValue":false,"value":true,"exportedType":"boolean"},"headline":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"string","name":"headline","title":"Headline","multiValue":false,"value":"BVB turn the game around to win 3-2 and secure second-place finish","exportedType":"text/plain"},"author":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"string","name":"author","title":"Author","multiValue":false,"exportedType":"text/plain"},"teaserType":"relatedContent","match":{"multiLine":true,"dataType":"content-fragment","name":"match","html":"<p>/content/dam/bvbweb/en/matches/football/profis/2025_2026/22/2569333_33_borussiadortmund-eintrachtfrankfurt<\/p>","title":"Related Match","multiValue":false,"value":"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/matches/football/profis/2025_2026/22/2569333_33_borussiadortmund-eintrachtfrankfurt","exportedType":"text/plain"},"externalId":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"string","name":"externalId","title":"External ID (Clubplatform)","multiValue":false,"value":"256651174","exportedType":"text/plain"},"displayOnHome":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"boolean","name":"displayOnHome","title":"Display in news wall on homepage","multiValue":false,"value":true,"exportedType":"boolean"},"url":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"string","name":"url","title":"Vanity URL (LEAVE EMPTY FOR AUTOMATIC VANITY URL.

One last time, the walk through the tunnel towards the Yellow Wall. For the man who turned 30 a few days ago, this \u201cwalk-out to warm up\u201d is the number one moment before every home game: \u201cThat walk, the tunnel, the expanding view \u2013 and then you see the immense scale of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/2026/05/07/brandt/Brandt-Podcast.jpg\" data-assetref=\"Brandt-Podcast-1778153338247\"><\/p>\n<p>Julian Brandt joined Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2019 at the age of 23 and, in his first interview with members\u2019 magazine BORUSSIA, he formulated sentences that demonstrated reflection and maturity, while also revealing much about the football romantic within him: \u201cI went to Dortmund simply because I wanted to. I don\u2019t just want to sell myself to a club. I always try to remember why we actually play football: because we enjoyed it even as small children.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Brandt's brilliant ball control instilled a unique passion for football. He would sometimes have fans on their feet, leaving them gaping in disbelief, as with his technically superb goal a little over a year ago against TSG Hoffenheim, when his recognition of open space, his sprint into it, the volley from a tight angle, and the ball hitting the back of the net, formed a near-perfect symbiosis.<\/p>\n<h2>\u201cClose to winning every title with BVB\u201d<\/h2>\n<p>The only downside: In Brandt's seven years at BVB, only two titles were won: the Supercup at the very beginning in 2019 and almost two years later, the DFB Pokal in 2021, played in front of empty stands during the COVID pandemic. \u201cI was so close to winning every title with BVB. When I arrived, we won the Supercup. We won the DFB Pokal in my second year. Then there was the possibility of the league title, the Champions League the following year. We could have been standing there with everything we\u2019ve could have wanted. Of course, that brings a touch of melancholy, because I think: What could have been?\u201d Brandt reflects on narrowly missing out on the championship in 2023 and the Champions League final in 2024. \u201cBut I can put that into perspective and say: it doesn\u2019t make my time here any less valuable.

One last time, the walk through the tunnel towards the Yellow Wall. For the man who turned 30 a few days ago, this \u201cwalk-out to warm up\u201d is the number one moment before every home game: \u201cThat walk, the tunnel, the expanding view \u2013 and then you see the immense scale of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/2026/05/07/brandt/Brandt-Podcast.jpg\" data-assetref=\"Brandt-Podcast-1778153338247\"><\/p>\n<p>Julian Brandt joined Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2019 at the age of 23 and, in his first interview with members\u2019 magazine BORUSSIA, he formulated sentences that demonstrated reflection and maturity, while also revealing much about the football romantic within him: \u201cI went to Dortmund simply because I wanted to. I don\u2019t just want to sell myself to a club. I always try to remember why we actually play football: because we enjoyed it even as small children.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Brandt's brilliant ball control instilled a unique passion for football. He would sometimes have fans on their feet, leaving them gaping in disbelief, as with his technically superb goal a little over a year ago against TSG Hoffenheim, when his recognition of open space, his sprint into it, the volley from a tight angle, and the ball hitting the back of the net, formed a near-perfect symbiosis.<\/p>\n<h2>\u201cClose to winning every title with BVB\u201d<\/h2>\n<p>The only downside: In Brandt's seven years at BVB, only two titles were won: the Supercup at the very beginning in 2019 and almost two years later, the DFB Pokal in 2021, played in front of empty stands during the COVID pandemic. \u201cI was so close to winning every title with BVB. When I arrived, we won the Supercup. We won the DFB Pokal in my second year. Then there was the possibility of the league title, the Champions League the following year. We could have been standing there with everything we\u2019ve could have wanted. Of course, that brings a touch of melancholy, because I think: What could have been?\u201d Brandt reflects on narrowly missing out on the championship in 2023 and the Champions League final in 2024. \u201cBut I can put that into perspective and say: it doesn\u2019t make my time here any less valuable. I don't base the value of my time at the club on material things or successes. I know that\u2019s what football is about, and ultimately, that\u2019s why we play football.
