Andre Schürrle, Mario Götze and Raphael Guerreiro all made their Borussia Dortmund bows as Thomas Tuchel’s men drew 1-1 with English Premier League outfit Sunderland AFC on Thursday.

Borussia Dortmund 1-1 Sunderland AFC

Goals: 1-0 Sahin (17'), 1-1 Kone (66')

After a strong start, BVB went in front with just 17 minutes on the clock in the encounter in the Austrian city of Altach.

Exciting summer signing Ousmane Dembele provided the spark, sending over a cross that did not reach its intended target - Adrian Ramos - but did drop kindly for Nuri Sahin to steer home from outside the box.

The Turkey international might have had a second before Sunderland centre-back Lamine Kone headed home from a set-piece to level the scores on 66 minutes.

Barely 60 seconds later, Tuchel introduced a host of players, giving Schürrle and Guerreiro their BVB debuts and allowing Götze to make his return in a black-and-yellow shirt, three years after his departure for FC Bayern München.

Julian Weigl and Lukasz Piszczek came off the bench to make their first appearances since featuring for Germany and Poland respectively at UEFA EURO 2016, while USA international Christian Pulisic also joined the fray.

Schürrle almost helped earn the side he joined this summer from VfL Wolfsburg victory with a sublime pass to set Emre Mor racing through on goal, but the youthful Turkey international saw his effort cleared off the line.
