Over 10,000 Black-and-Yellow fans traveled to Sinsheim for a rollercoaster football match between Borussia Dortmund (BVB) and TSG Hoffenheim.

Hoffenheim took an early lead, going 2-0 up shortly after halftime. However, BVB responded after an hour, leveling the score within five minutes. Goal scorers for the comeback were Serhou Guirassy and Fabio Silva.
In the 86th minute, Ethan Nwaneri's deflected cross led to an own goal, allowing BVB to secure a 3-2 victory. This victory marked the third time in four years that BVB had started a Bundesliga season with two wins.
