Karsten Gorges' team will bridge the gap until the start of Liga A in February with friendly fixtures. BVB recorded two victories during a tour to Bavaria at the weekend. The depleted squad ran out 5-3 winners away to FC Augsburg (goals: Jemain Kuse (2), Ahmad Naji (2), Desmond Ogoke) and 3-2 away to FC Bayern Munich, who finished the group stages of the U17 Nachwuchsliga without dropping a point. Jemain Kusi twice levelled after the hosts had taken the lead, before Ahmad Najdi scored the winning goal.<br>\n<i>(wiwi)<\/i><\/p>\n","exportedType":"text/html"},"id":"editable-e2c426a534","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":"U19 game in Münster called off","exportedType":"text/plain"},"matchId":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"string","name":"matchId","title":"match id","multiValue":false,"exportedType":"text/plain"},"data-layer":"{\"editable-e2c426a534\":{\"@type\":\"/apps/bvbweb/components/newssliderelements/editable\",\"linkUrl\":\"https://www.bvb.de/de/en/news/news-overview/news.html/2024/12/2/U19-game-in-Muenster-called-off.html\"}}","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/u19/2024_2025/u19-dfb-nachwuchsliga/13---preu-en-m-nster-u19---borussia-dortmund-u19<\/p>","title":"Related Match","multiValue":false,"value":"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/matches/football/u19/2024_2025/u19-dfb-nachwuchsliga/13---preu-en-m-nster-u19---borussia-dortmund-u19","exportedType":"text/plain"},"alt":"Baelle-Jugendstadion.jpg","externalId":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"string","name":"externalId","title":"External ID (Clubplatform)","multiValue":false,"value":"-571339618","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.

U17 players Mathis Albert and Luca Reggiani replaced Cole Campbell and Almugera Kabar, who were in the first-team squad in the evening.
