Borussia Dortmund opened pre-season with a 3-1 comeback win over Rot-Weiß Oberhausen, overcoming an early setback in their first summer test. The Bundesliga side recovered well after falling behind and made a positive start to their preparations.
Oberhausen, who play in the Regionalliga West, struck first after pouncing on a Dortmund mistake in the buildup. That gave the fourth-tier team an early advantage and briefly put BVB under pressure in the friendly.
Dortmund responded by taking control and turning the match around, eventually finishing with a comfortable 3-1 result. One of the main talking points was Justin Lerma, who found the net on his debut and added an encouraging moment to the opening outing of the summer.
For Dortmund, the result offered an early boost as pre-season begins, with the team showing enough attacking quality to recover after a shaky start. Lerma's debut goal and the overall response after conceding will stand out as the key positives from the win over Oberhausen.
