Pivotal“Serhou Guirassy completed Dortmund's comeback by converting from a corner situation to equalise at 2-2, cancelling out Roma's blistering early start and turning a potential humiliation into a creditable draw.”
Pivotal“Paulo Dybala picked up a yellow card for a foul, his second notable disciplinary moment after scoring the opener, curtailing his influence in the second half.”

Outstanding performance
Roma•AttackerRoma looked to have put this pre-season contest to bed inside nine minutes with goals from Paulo Dybala and Bryan Cristante, the second arriving from a corner as Dybala's early opener set the tone. Dortmund, however, refused to fold. Julian Ryerson pulled one back almost immediately at 12 minutes, and Serhou Guirassy levelled matters at 28 to complete a spirited comeback. The statistics tell an interesting story — Dortmund fashioned more shots (15 to 9) and more shots on target (9 to 4) despite ceding possession 46-54, suggesting Roma were content to sit on their lead and counter. Roma's seven saves reflect just how much Dortmund pressed after going behind, though Roma's 38 dangerous attacks show they remained a consistent threat on the break. As a pre-season exercise, Dortmund will take encouragement from the mental resilience shown in clawing back two goals in 16 minutes, while Roma's Dybala demonstrated he remains the creative heartbeat capable of unlocking defences with ease. The second half, flooded with substitutions from the hour mark, lost its shape and produced nothing of note.

Borussia Dortmund welcome Roma to Signal Iduna Park on Saturday in what serves as both clubs' final major pre-season test before competitive action begins. Dortmund arrive in confident mood after beating Arsenal 3-2 last weekend, while Roma will be looking to bounce back from a 3-0 defeat to Brighton. With key absences on both sides, squad depth and tactical shape will be under the spotlight.
