Overview
- All eight goals arrived after a goalless first half, with Karim Adeyemi, Felix Nmecha, Yan Couto and Ramy Bensebaini scoring for Dortmund and Kenan Yildiz, a Dušan Vlahović brace and Lloyd Kelly answering for Juventus.
- Vlahović pulled one back in the 90+3rd minute before Kelly’s header in the 90+6th sealed a dramatic share of the points after Dortmund had led 4:2 late.
- Bensebaini converted an 86th‑minute penalty following an on‑field dispute with Serhou Guirassy, with Kovac clarifying post‑match that Bensebaini is the designated taker.
- Adeyemi was named man of the match but he, goalkeeper Gregor Kobel and Kovac voiced clear frustration, stressing the need for better late‑game control.
- Guirassy, recently managing a shoulder issue, featured without scoring as Dortmund opened the new 36‑team Champions League Ligaphase with one point ahead of hosting Athletic Club on October 1.
