Pre-Match Report

"We want to dominate" – Two returnees to face Heidenheim

After the international matches, the Bundesliga will resume with the Matchday 3 action: Borussia Dortmund will welcome league leaders Heidenheim to SIGNAL IDUNA PARK on Friday evening (20:30 CEST).

It was Nuri Sahin's first international break since becoming the head coach of Borussia Dortmund, and the BVB boss only had five first-team players available. "It was indeed strange, I want to finally have the lads back together again," said Sahin, who is nonetheless satisfied with the last couple of weeks. In addition to Niklas Süle, Julian Brandt, Felix Nmecha, Serhou Guirassy and Yan Couto, the 36-year-old also had U23 players at his disposal. "I have to pay the boys a huge compliment, they kept the level extremely high in training."

Sahin is expecting the Black & Yellow internationals back on the pitch for the two sessions on Wednesday. But Gio Reyna, who sustained a muscular injury in a training session with the US national team, will not be among the training group. "That will unfortunately take a few weeks," explained Sahin when asked about Reyna's return. Nico Schlotterbeck, who is suspended following his red card for two bookable offences against Bremen, will also be unavailable for BVB. However, there is good news regarding Serhou Guirassy and Yan Couto. "Serhou is making an outstanding impression in training, I'm happy that he is involved again," said Sahin of Guirassy, who is set to make his debut for BVB against Heidenheim. Couto is also an option again, having been unable to link up with the Brazil national team due to knee problems. "He dealt with that in a very professional manner," explained Sahin, adding: "He had to do rehab here and has trained with us fully again this week."

Sahin will decide who makes the starting line-up on the Friday evening after the international break based on the final training session on Thursday. But one thing is for sure. "We need to be completely fresh to win against Heidenheim." Because while 15 Borussia players were in action for their national teams, Heidenheim coach Frank Schmidt, whose team currently top the standings following a 2-0 victory over promoted outfit St. Pauli and a 4-0 home win against Augsburg, had all his players together. "We didn't have that advantage," remarked Sahin. "But we do have the home advantage."

Sahin is aware that the game against Heidenheim, who are participating in the Europa Conference League following a strong season in 2023/24, will not be a foregone conclusion. "They have an experienced team that are not afraid of defending," said the BVB coach, who especially appreciates Heidenheim for their many facets. "In Paul Wanner, they have also signed a difference-maker who brings even more footballing class to their play." The new signing from FC Bayern Munich has already been involved in four goals in his first four competitive appearances for Heidenheim. "They know where their strengths lie – we know that we're prepared."

The goal for Sahin is clear: Borussia want to pick up their next three points on Friday evening, after the opening win against Frankfurt and the draw in Bremen. "We're playing at home at our place – we want to focus on ourselves, impose our game and dominate."

Marvin Pieringer pulled a goal back in the 39th minute but it barely took 120 seconds to respond, Adeyemi netting his second goal to make it 3-1 at half-time. BVB came close to scoring a fourth goal on several occasions after the break but instead conceded a second goal from the penalty spot and the game became open again with the score at 3-2 with a quarter of an hour left. But Emre Can converted a penalty awarded for handball in stoppage time to complete the 4-2 win.<\/p>\nThe scenario:<\/b>   \n1. FC Heidenheim had won each of their previous five competitive matches across all competitions: two in the league and two in Conference League qualification, plus one in the cup. Their most recent away defeat had come six months earlier. Including last season, BVB had won three consecutive matches on home turf.<\/p>\nPersonnel matters:  \n <\/b>Nico Schlotterbeck was serving a red card suspension, while Giovanni Reyna missed out with a muscle injury. All first-team players were otherwise available, including Serhou Guirassy, who was one of five changes to the starting line-up compared to the 0-0 draw in Bremen. Malen, Adeyemi, Nmecha and Bensebaini also came into the team, replacing Beier, Gittens, Sabitzer, Can (all bench) and Schlotterbeck (suspended). Brandt captained the team.<\/p>\n<img src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/profis/2024/09/13/bl-spielbericht/86_Guirasdsy_BVB_Heidenheim.jpg\" data-assetref=\"86_Guirasdsy_BVB_Heidenheim-1726255907265\"><\/p>\nTactics:  \n <\/b>The only two Bundesliga clubs yet to concede a goal both lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation but with significantly different interpretations. During build-up play, Ryerson moved forward from the right-back position into midfield, with Bensebaini doing the same on the left flank at times. Then Groß dropped back alongside the two central defenders in a centre-left position, thus turning a 4-2-3-1 system into a 3-1-5-1. Without possession, the Black & Yellows defended in a 4-4-2 formation with Brandt alongside Guirassy. Heidenheim withdrew deep into their own half but played an intense pressing game and looked to switch the play after winning possession of the ball back.<\/p>\nThe match & analysis: \n <\/b>BVB impressed with their intelligent use of space and repeatedly found passing options despite the opposition's compactness. The ball was moved fluidly. The first sign of danger came after three and a half minutes when Adeyemi broke through down the left, but FCH keeper Müller gathered the cross. Groß had a go from 18 metres in the sixth minute \u2013 only for the ball to sail narrowly wide of the left upright.<\/p>\n<img src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/profis/2024/09/13/bl-spielbericht/86_Malen23_BVB_Heidenheim.jpg\" data-assetref=\"86_Malen23_BVB_Heidenheim-1726255923287\"><\/p>\nDortmund were considerably superior, keeping the ball and their opponents on the move. Adeyemi, who had been set in motion by Groß, played it from a centre-left position to Malen in the middle, who immediately shot from 16 metres. Keeper Müller's line of sight was obscured and his attempted intervention with his foot deflected the ball onto the underside of the bar. Borussia led 1-0 after exactly 11 minutes and added a second goal only six minutes later. Ryerson intercepted a pass from Wanner in his own half and immediately fed Malen in the centre circle, who carried it forward and picked out Brandt. He played it left to Adeyemi, who slotted into the far corner from around eight metres (17). It was top-class counter-attacking football.<\/p>\nDortmund had everything under control but then had their first moment of carelessness following a crossed free-kick by the visitors, though the unmarked Pieringer's header lacked placement and did not trouble Kobel (36). Three minutes later right-back Traoré found himself under no opposition pressure and delivered a long cross to Pieringer, who headed home totally unimpeded to pull it back to 2-1. But BVB hit back straightaway. Ryerson was again the starting point. This time he carried the ball to level with the penalty area and played it sharply into the middle. Guirassy intelligently let the ball run through, taking an opponent out of the game, and Adeyemi swept home from 11 metres.<\/p>\n<img src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/profis/2024/09/13/bl-spielbericht/86_Malen_BVB_Heidenheim.jpg\" data-assetref=\"86_Malen_BVB_Heidenheim-1726255943748\"><\/p>\nThe fluid play continued. BVB used the spaces between the Heidenheim defence and midfield. Having been played in by Guirassy, Adeyemi had the opportunity to score his third goal in the 59th minute but squared the ball in the box to Guirassy, who was stopped by two opposing players. The new No. 9 was sought out remarkably often and linked up the play remarkably well.<\/p>\nScienza had a double opportunity to pull another goal back in the 64th minute, but both shots from around 18 metres out were blocked \u2013 the second of them by Sabitzer, who had just come off the bench and scored himself two minutes later, but the ball was deemed to have hit Groß not only on the chest but also on the upper arm during the build-up to the goal. Shortly afterwards, Guirassy's scissor kick was kept out by Müller and a Heidenheim player cleared Bensebaini's header just in front of the line following the ensuing corner.<\/p>\nRather than 4-1, it was 3-2. Süle's penalty-box challenge on Kaufmann, whom he caught on the foot, led to a spot-kick that Breunig slotted home (74). Beier's shot in the 90th minute was turned behind for a corner., which led to a Süle shot that went narrowly wide. But Traoré's hands were also used. The next spot-kick was awarded, which Can confidently converted (90+3).<\/p>\nOutlook:  \n <\/b>The first "English week" is coming up: Borussia Dortmund will kick off the league phase of the UEFA Champions League away to Belgian champions FC Brugge on Wednesday (kick-off 21:00 CEST), before taking on vice champions VfB Stuttgart in the top match next Sunday (kick-off 17:30 CEST).<\/p>\n<h2>Teams & goals<\/h2>\n<img src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/profis/2024/09/13/bl-spielbericht/86_Grafik_BVB_Heidenheim.jpg\" data-assetref=\"86_Grafik_BVB_Heidenheim-1726256044695\"><\/p>\nBundesliga Matchday 3 \n BORUSSIA DORTMUND 4-2 (3-1) 1.

"Dortmund have a highly talented team with a lot of quality and enormous pace," said Sandhausen coach Sreto Ristic of Jan Zimmermann's team, who occupied a mid-table position with five points from four matches following a run of two draws, prior to the match. Sandhausen went into the clash between the teams with two more points on the board.<\/p>\nPersonnel matters: <\/b>Baran Mogultay returned to the fold for Jan Zimmermann after serving his suspension. The left-back was drafted into the starting line-up and made his first start for the Black & Yellows, as did Babis Drakas. The BVB coach made a total of three changes to the team compared to the 1-1 draw against Osnabrück. In addition to Mogultay and Drakas, Rodney Elongo Yombo, who has recently served as a substituted, was given the nod by Zimmermann.<\/p>\nThe match & analysis:<\/b> The Borussia Dortmund U23s' first match after the international break started with a shock. With 2,858 spectators watching on at the GP Stadion am Hardtwald, the Black & Yellows fell behind after a matter of seconds. In the aftermath of a free-kick for a needless foul by Mogultay, the ball ended up falling to the unmarked SVS defender Jakob Lewald, who fired the ball into the net from the right corner of the six-yard box to make it 1-0.<\/p>\nBVB had to properly dust themselves down after the setback but then quickly settled into the match. The lively Babis Drakas in particular built up a decent head of steam down the right flank. The first chance for the Black & Yellows also fell to the winger, but Drakas could only strike the side-netting from a tight angle (12).<\/p>\nIt developed into a fast-paced match in which both teams had hardly any time to gather their breath. Because the hosts also had a good foothold in the game. Sebastian Stolze first forced BVB goalkeeper Ostrzinski into a save (16), then Marco Schikora headed narrowly wide following a corner-kick (17). Zimmermann's charges appeared vulnerable from set-pieces. The SVS fans were already about to start celebrating a goal in the 30th minute, but at the last second Niklas Jessen touched a headed flick-on out of play as a Sandhausen player was preparing to shoot.<\/p>\nOnly at the end of the first period was there a calmer spell, in which Dortmund were more focused on counter-attacks. One of those quick switch-play moments almost led to the equaliser. But after a cross from Eberwein from the left flank, Elongo-Yombo did not connect with the ball properly.<\/p>\n"We're having some problems defending set-pieces and we're lacking decisiveness up top," U23 sporting director Ingo Preuß told MagentaTV at the break. "I hope that will be better in the second period."<\/p>\nIn fact, the U23s came out of the changing rooms with plenty of energy and at times had the hosts pinned back with the pressure they applied. Attack after attack rained down on the Sandhausen goal. But neither Elongo-Yombo (51) nor Ayman Azhil (53) and Julian Hetwer (54) could get the better of SVS custodian Timo Königsmann, who reacted particularly outstandingly to keep out Elongo-Yombo's header.<\/p>\nThe goal ultimately came at the other end. During the best spell of play for the Black & Yellows, the hosts struck in ice-cold fashion: a counter following a loss of possession by Hettwer was converted by Dominic Baumann to make it 2-0 in the 58th minute.<\/p>\nZimmermann reacted to the setback by making a triple substitution. Felix Paschke, Jordi Paulina and Patrick Göbel came on in place of Beni Hüning, Elongo-Yombo and Jessen. But then SVS really took the wind out of BVB's sails by scoring their second goal. There were no longer any signs of the good start that they had made to the second period.<\/p>\nDortmund might not have given up and tried everything in the closing stages, but they were not able to seriously trouble the Sandhausen defence. The home team, meanwhile, were given space which they used. Baumann wrapped up the result with his second goal (84). Franz Roggow's first goal of the season was little more than a consolation.<\/p>\nJan Zimmermann: <\/b>"I think that you could see today that we're young and inexperienced.

The margin of defeat was too high in the end, but if you don't take your chances and don't defend consistently, then Dominic Baumann probably makes the difference today. We're just young. We now need to learn to win the challenges as quickly as possible. We need a positive challenge win rate."<\/p>\nOutlook:<\/b> The U23s' next opponents are Alemannia Aachen.

"Dortmund have a highly talented team with a lot of quality and enormous pace," said Sandhausen coach Sreto Ristic of Jan Zimmermann's team, who occupied a mid-table position with five points from four matches following a run of two draws, prior to the match. Sandhausen went into the clash between the teams with two more points on the board.<\/p>\nPersonnel matters: <\/b>Baran Mogultay returned to the fold for Jan Zimmermann after serving his suspension. The left-back was drafted into the starting line-up and made his first start for the Black & Yellows, as did Babis Drakas. The BVB coach made a total of three changes to the team compared to the 1-1 draw against Osnabrück. In addition to Mogultay and Drakas, Rodney Elongo Yombo, who has recently served as a substituted, was given the nod by Zimmermann.<\/p>\nThe match & analysis:<\/b> The Borussia Dortmund U23s' first match after the international break started with a shock. With 2,858 spectators watching on at the GP Stadion am Hardtwald, the Black & Yellows fell behind after a matter of seconds. In the aftermath of a free-kick for a needless foul by Mogultay, the ball ended up falling to the unmarked SVS defender Jakob Lewald, who fired the ball into the net from the right corner of the six-yard box to make it 1-0.<\/p>\nBVB had to properly dust themselves down after the setback but then quickly settled into the match. The lively Babis Drakas in particular built up a decent head of steam down the right flank. The first chance for the Black & Yellows also fell to the winger, but Drakas could only strike the side-netting from a tight angle (12).<\/p>\nIt developed into a fast-paced match in which both teams had hardly any time to gather their breath. Because the hosts also had a good foothold in the game. Sebastian Stolze first forced BVB goalkeeper Ostrzinski into a save (16), then Marco Schikora headed narrowly wide following a corner-kick (17). Zimmermann's charges appeared vulnerable from set-pieces. The SVS fans were already about to start celebrating a goal in the 30th minute, but at the last second Niklas Jessen touched a headed flick-on out of play as a Sandhausen player was preparing to shoot.<\/p>\nOnly at the end of the first period was there a calmer spell, in which Dortmund were more focused on counter-attacks. One of those quick switch-play moments almost led to the equaliser. But after a cross from Eberwein from the left flank, Elongo-Yombo did not connect with the ball properly.<\/p>\n"We're having some problems defending set-pieces and we're lacking decisiveness up top," U23 sporting director Ingo Preuß told MagentaTV at the break. "I hope that will be better in the second period."<\/p>\nIn fact, the U23s came out of the changing rooms with plenty of energy and at times had the hosts pinned back with the pressure they applied. Attack after attack rained down on the Sandhausen goal. But neither Elongo-Yombo (51) nor Ayman Azhil (53) and Julian Hetwer (54) could get the better of SVS custodian Timo Königsmann, who reacted particularly outstandingly to keep out Elongo-Yombo's header.<\/p>\nThe goal ultimately came at the other end.
