Overview

• Borussia Dortmund beat Athletic Bilbao 4-1 at Signal Iduna Park with goals from Daniel Svensson (28'), Carney Chukwuemeka (50'), Serhou Guirassy (82') and Julian Brandt (90+1'), after Gorka Guruzeta’s 61st-minute reply.
• The victory gives BVB four points from two group matches and their first win of this European campaign.
• Niko Kovac rotated five starters, bringing back Niklas Süle from a calf injury, while Bilbao were without winger Nico Williams.
• Dortmund controlled for an hour before wobbling as a Guruzeta equalizer was ruled offside, then settled it late through Guirassy and Brandt.
• Bayer Leverkusen drew 1-1 with PSV Eindhoven despite a chances edge, as 19-year-old Christian Kofane scored before Ismael Saibari equalized, leaving Bayer still seeking a first group win and under added pressure with Patrik Schick and Robert Andrich sidelined.
