Borussia Dortmund secured a 2-2 draw against AS Roma in a pre-season match at their home stadium, Signal Iduna Park (Westfalenstadion), on Saturday. The game saw all four goals scored within the first half-hour period. AS Roma took the lead early on through a goal by Paulo Dybala, followed by an assist from Bryan Cristante in the 9th minute.
On his return from a World Cup injury, Julian Ryerson equalized for AS Roma in the 12th minute, scoring from a cutback by Daniel Svensson. Serhou Guirassy equalized for Dortmund shortly after, capitalizing on a set-piece delivered by Ryerson from the same player. Despite holding the majority of the possession and creating numerous chances, Dortmund failed to find the winning goal.
The hosts fielded several debuts, including Konstantinos Karetsas, Joane Gadou, Justin Lerma, Kauã Prates, and Takato Yamamoto. FC Bayern Munich will face Heidenheim in a midweek fixture, while Dortmund will next take on the league leaders in the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup.
