Half -time conclusion:
Borussia Dortmund goes into the break with a narrow 1-0 lead against Union Berlin. The guests caught the better start and initially had the game under control, but without radiation. A mistake by Rothe brought the previously harmless borussia on the other side suddenly into play and opened the first great opportunity. Even after that, the Kovač team had a hard time, but won more control step by step and was increasingly stuck in half of the Köpenickers. The lead goal shortly before the break was therefore not completely surprising, even if he hadn’t necessarily clearly emerged. Now Baumgart is challenged: Union threatens to go away empty -handed in the seventh guest appearance in Dortmund without any punch in the attack.

Dortmund was able to increase the pressure more and more anyway. However, the leadership goal seems to have had an additional effect. Union is just in the back and tries not to concede a goal anymore before the break.
45.
18:16
Five minutes come on top of the first round. Especially because of the long break from Jobe Bellingham and Andrej Ilić, this is absolutely okay.

Tooor for Borussia Dortmund, 1-0 by Serhou Guirassy
Guirassy remains the Dortmund’s life insurance! Yan Couto almost circles the ball from the right corner of the penalty area in the middle of the five. There, Guirassy prevails against crossing and hits the demanding drop kick humorously with the right inside under the crossbar. Rønnow is completely powerless from the short distance.
42.
18:12
Suddenly the great chance for Union! With a long ball into the depth there is a running duel between Anselmino and Ilić. The Argentine BVB newcomer initially gains it, but his header back to Kobel doesn’t have much pressure behind it. Therefore, the Swiss is not sure enough to sprint out of his penalty area. Instead, Ilić splashes. The Serb spies the ball from half -left 14 meters but to the right of the gate.
41.
18:11
Ramy Bensebaïni initially indebted a free kick on his left defensive side against Ilyas. However, it is also the 30-year-old who heads the ball from the danger zone in the due trimmer free kick.
38.
18:10
The Dortmunders manage to keep the ball more and more and longer in the FCU half. There, however, the home side lacks creativity and punch. As a result, the Unioners hardly have any problems to defend the BVB attacks.
35.
18:07
Gradually, Dortmund gets better into the game and now has the action largely under control. The long balls of the guests don’t get the BVB defense as much as possible as in the early minutes.
32.
18:04
Anselmino hooks off the left with a BVB corner. Rønnow therefore goes to the case and Schlager immediately decides on offensive foul. It doesn’t matter that Bensebaïni even heads the ball online. A real jubilation does not even germinate because the whistle sounded significantly before.
31.
18:01
Niko Kovač cannot be satisfied with the appearance of his team. In the position game, the black and yellow find it really difficult and hardly find solutions. As a result, they rarely pose problems with the iron.
29.
18:00
At the end of a longer ball possession of the Unioner, the ball lands again at Frederik Rønnow. The Danish goalkeeper tried it with the long blow towards Ilyas. However, the ball flies across everyone and even ends up with Gregor Kobel.
26.
17:57
Bensebaïni sends Guirassy perfectly centrally into the FCU penalty with a long ball from the midfield. However, the first contact of the Neuners is not optimal. That is why the attentive Rønnow is again the end station.
23.
17:56
Guirassy does not accept a gift from Rothe! Actually, the Unioner on the left in the middle of the field initially loosened well from the BVB printing and play around again. Rothe is then started at the back and plays the ball too loosely back towards Rønnow. Guirassy lurks exactly on it, grabs the ball and is immediately free in front of the goal. Rønnow stays calm, first sets himself up and then closes his legs at the right moment to prevent the tunnel. There was significantly more in there for a striker with the class of Guirassy!
20.
17:52
Both actors have carried away a laceration from their air duel in midfield. Ilić and Bellingham now only need a fresh jersey without blood stains and then both are probably back.
18.
17:49
The encounter is currently interrupted because Andrej Ilić and Jobe Bellingham have to be treated.
16.
17:48
After a double pass with Yan Couto, Guirassy suddenly went through on the right. The nine moves into the penalty area, looks again in the middle and is looking for a play station. However, the 29-year-old cannot find it. Therefore, the goalkeeper tries it with a violent shot from an extremely pointed angle to the short corner. But his shot gets a little too high and rushes over the short corner.
15.
17:46
Svensson circulates the due standard with a cut to the gate at the second post. There Rønnow loosens from the line and fits the ball from the danger zone.
14.
17:45
Yan Couto goes into the dribbling on his right side against Robert Skov, is fouled and almost picks out a free kick from the corner of the penalty area. This is a very promising position.
13.
17:44
Christopher Trimmel is a clear asset in the initial phase. The Austrian often acts with half field flanks in his advances and is looking for Andrej Ilić. This time the cross gets a little too long from the right and the ball rolls into the goal.
10.
17:41
The guests are making a goblins at the forefront and thus causing great problems for the Dortmunders. At the moment, the iron have everything under control.
9.
17:39
Ramy Bensebaïni remains on the lawn after an FCU corner from the left side. After a brief interruption, the 30-year-old goes on without treatment.
6.
17:37
Ilić extends a long ball to look out on the right. The striker with the ten on his back then asserts himself strongly against Bensebaïni and takes off again for Trimmel. The veteran simply takes a heart from the second row and sticks to it. However, its streak long shot flies far to the right of the box.
4.
17:35
Christopher Trimmel crosses the ball from the right half field into the penalty area. Andrej Ilić steals away in the back of his opponent and comes to the header quite free -standing. However, the ball is a bit too high and the Serb does not optimally caught the ball with the head when running backwards. Therefore, the attempt will not really be dangerous in the end.

17:34
The BVB fans know how to convince directly at the first home game of their Borussia. After a remarkable choreo, you will loudly cheer on your team from the start. The start in the field is rather quiet.

Let’s go! The home team comes across and plays in yellow jerseys and black pants. Union keeps in red and white.

Start of the game
17:25
The last duel went clearly to Borussia in February. In the 6: 0, Serhou Guirassy shone with a four-pack and the black and yellow further expanded their perfect home record against Union. All six guest performances in Dortmund ended pointless for the Köpenickers. After all, the Berlin four of the six Bundesliga duels were able to win in their own stadium. There has not yet been a tie in the twelve meetings.
17:17
Since the promotion to the Bundesliga 2019/20, Union Berlin has managed to win the first two season games. Two years ago, the Köpenickers celebrated significant 4: 1 successes against Mainz and Darmstadt and even briefly greeted the top of the table. In view of the clearly better goal difference of Bavaria, this scenario should hardly be realistic this time, but the Berliners wouldn’t matter anyway. With the demanding opening program, every point is a win for FCU. In view of the still running series of five unbeaten away games in the league, the capitals seem to be prepared.
17:02
After Borussia Dortmund had secured the qualification for the Champions League in the pre-season with a strong final sprint, the black and yellow had certainly introduced the start of the new season differently. In the trophy there was only a lean 1-0 win against Rot-Weiss Essen and in the league it was only enough for a 3: 3 draw at the Millerntor. So that it does not become restless at the Revierklub at an early stage, there is actually only one victory in front of a home backdrop. Anything else would make the points out of the points clearly behind its own demands before the international break.
16:47
With the 2-1 win against VfB Stuttgart, Union Berlin immediately set an exclamation mark for the league start. Steffen Baumgart therefore almost completely trusts his starting eleven from the first match day. Only Alex Král moves into the team and replaces András Schäfer in the central midfield. Ilyas looked at a dream debut in the Bundesliga with his double pack, of course storms today and this time is supposed to pose problems with the BVB defensive.
16:39
With the obligations of Aaron Anselmino, Carney Chukwuemeka and Fábio Silva, the BVB was rather busy on the transfer market. After the 3: 3 against FC St. Pauli, in which the Dortmund gave a 3-1 lead out of his hand, Niko Kovač even brings a new addition right from the start with Aaron Anselmino. The Argentinian replaces the blocked Filippo Mané in the triple chain. In addition, Julian Brandt and Maximilian Beier for Pascal Groß and Karim Adeyemi move into the initial formation.
16:29
Hello and welcome to the Bundesliga on Sunday. Borussia Dortmund welcomes 1st FC Union Berlin in the first home game of the season. The game is kick -off at 5:30 p.m. in Signal Iduna Park.
