Borussia Dortmund have won their first home match of the new Champions League season and their fans are celebrating a 4-1 (1-0) against the Athletic Club from Bilbao. In front of 81,365 spectators in the sold-out SIGNAL IDUNA PARK, Svensson, Chukwuemeka, Sabitzer and Brandt got the goals for BVB.
In their 09th competitive game of the season, the Black & Yellows took the lead in the 28th minute through Daniel Svensson and enjoyed a lot of possession against their opponents, but found few gaps in Bibao’s tight defence. That changed with the restart, as Bilbao opened up. Carney Chukwuemeka hit the back of the net in the 50th minute to make it 2-0. However, when Gorka Guruzeta pounced on a defensive error to pull one back for the away side in the 61st minute, Borussia wobbled, but did not fall. In the 82nd minute, Serhou Guirassy deflected Marcel Sabitzer's shot, before Julian Brandt made it 4-1 in injury time.
