Full time: Dortmund 4-2 Bochum

Dortmund get the win but the scoreline flatters them. They didn’t wake up until they were 2-0 down, and were fortunate not to be 3-0 down at the interval. However, their attacking talent proved too strong for Bochum, with Guirassy getting his first BVB goals at home, and Adeyemi providing two assists in a comeback victory.

Daylight!

Just moments after a Bochum attack breaks down, BVB counter down the right through Adeyemi. The ball comes to Nmecha on the edge of the area and although his shot is straight at Drewes, the ball slips under him and squirms into the net.

Turnaround!

Dortmund have done it! Guirassy nods Can's ball down to Adeyemi, who dribbles forward for a few yards before sliding a return pass in for Guirassy, who slots in his second of the game.

Chance for Groß!

Brandt drives forward on the right and slides a clever pass into the box. Groß is arriving and looks like he'll have a free shot on goal until Passlack comes sliding in to make a brilliant block.

Passlack up for it

The right-back, against his former club, does really well in denying Gittens, who tries to take him on. He shields him out and wins a goal kick. Great defending.

Half-time: Dortmund 1-2 Bochum

BVB have not been at their best and took a while to recover after going 2-0 down thanks to quickfire goals from Bero and De Wit. Bochum should even have gone 3-0 ahead, only to see Boadu fluff his lines with just Kobel to beat. Dortmund increased the pressure as half-time approached and get their reward via Guirassy’s first BVB goal at Signal Iduna Park.

Back in it!

Dortmund pull one back on the stroke of half-time! Brandt floats a cross in from the right and Guirassy outmuscles his marker to get there first, heading in from close range.

How did Brandt miss?!

A stunning through-ball from Guirassy picks out Brandt's run into the box. He only has the goalkeeper to beat but somehow lifts his shot over the bar from six yards out!

Vital clearance

Ryerson whips in an inviting cross from the left. Guirassy looks certain to nod it in from close range - until Medić leaps up to flick the ball out for a corner.

First of the season

De Wit's goal was his first in the Bundesliga. Could they be on for their first league win of 2024/25?
33'

It should be 3-0!

Boadu won't get a better chance than this! Boadu cushions a long ball forward down to Hofmann, who immediately plays a return pass forward. He is clean through on goal all of a sudden, running half the length of the pitch before placing his shot just wide of the post! Will he and Bochum come to rue that miss?
31'

Adeyemi tries to force it

The attacker's pace allows him to get to a long ball forward before Oermann. He jinks to his left and tries to take on Passlack, but the full-back slides in to clear - earning a massive roar of approval from the away end.

Back-to-back

Bero (c.) has now scored two Bundesliga goals this season, having also found the net last week. That means he's already scored one more than he managed in the entire 2023/24 campaign. His rasping shot, incidentally, was clocked at 109 km/h (67.73 mph).

Wow!

Schlotterbeck plays a pass back to Kobel that is tricky to deal with. The goalkeeper gets in a muddle under pressure from Boadu, he nicks the ball off his toe and passes to De Wit to stroke into the empty net! Incredible scenes!

Just wide from Brandt!

Some lovely passing from Schlotterbeck and then Groß to break through the Bochum lines in midfield. It's fed to Brandt, who gets the ball out of his feet on the edge of the box before curling a shot towards the bottom corner. Another fine save from Drewes gives BVB another corner.

Best chance of the game!

Groß floats a lovely cross into the middle from the right. Adeyemi peels off his marker and heads towards goal from six yards out but Drewes makes a fine save, diving to his right, to keep it out.

37 and counting

Dortmund are unbeaten on home turf in fixtures that take place on Fridays in their last 37 outings, winning 28 and drawing nine. Will that sequence continue today?

Two new faces for Bochum

In the wake of Bochum's 2-2 draw against Kiel on Matchday 4, head coach Peter Zeidler has made two changes. Oerman and Losilla replace Mašović and Daschner.

Three changes for BVB

Şahin has made three changes following last week's 5-1 humbling against VfB Stuttgart: Couto, Can and Gittens all come in for Süle, Nmecha and Sabitzer, who misses out today with a knock.

Şahin on Bochum

"Simply because of the formation, the setup and the personnel. We need to win the challenges. We're playing at home and want to focus completely on ourselves, with the necessary respect for the opponent. But it must go in one direction on Friday and that is the three points that we want and need to pick up here." Christina Reinke

Zeidler on Dortmund

"Dortmund are a team that likes to play with the ball. Of course it will be a different game to the one against Kiel, but I liked the way the team played after falling behind."

Boadu to make his mark?

Dortmund team news

Only Felix Nmecha and Gio Reyna are unavailable to Nuri Şahin - although the American is progressing quicker than expected - as his side looks to bounce back from the loss to Stuttgart. As such, Serhou Guirassy should start up front, while it remains to be seen whether Jamie Gittens is including in the first XI after impressing from the bench this term.
camera-photo

Bochum team news

Peter Zeidler will be without Bernardo, while Erhan Mašović misses out again for personal reasons and Ivan Ordets isn't yet ready to make his first appearance of the season after a shoulder injury. However, Koji Miyoshi is now in contention for a start.

Expect goals

This match is unlikely to finish goalless. Only once this millennium have Dortmund conceded more than this term's seven goals after their opening four matches of a campaign, and Bochum are currently in the middle of an active league-high 20 matches without a clean sheet.

History on Bochum's side?

While the visitors are still without a win this term, their historical record at Dortmund could give them something to lean on. They have won away at Die Schwarzgelben on six occasions in the top flight, more than against any other club, and have only amassed more away points (26) at Borussia Mönchengladbach than at Dortmund (25).

Friday fortress

Dortmund are unbeaten in their last 37 Bundesliga home games on a Friday, dating back to a 1-0 loss to Schalke on 30 January 2004.
