On Friday, Borussia Dortmund staged a remarkable comeback against local rival Bochum in the Bundesliga, overcoming a two-goal deficit to secure a 4-2 victory. The match took place in Dortmund, Germany, where Bochum initially took control with two early goals from Matus Bero and Dani de Wit. The pressure was on Dortmund's new coach, Nuri Sahin, following a heavy defeat to Stuttgart the previous week. However, the team responded with determination. Serhou Guirassy played a pivotal role, scoring twice and winning a penalty that was converted by Emre Can. His first goal came just before halftime, giving Dortmund a glimmer of hope. The equalizer followed shortly after, and the momentum shifted in favor of the home team. Dortmund's attacking prowess was evident as they capitalized on Bochum's defensive lapses. Guirassy's second goal showcased a well-executed counterattack, while a mistake from Bochum's goalkeeper, Patrick Drewes, allowed Felix Nmecha to score the fourth goal. This victory propelled Dortmund to second place in the Bundesliga standings, just behind Bayern Munich, with 10 points from five matches. As Dortmund prepares to face Celtic in the Champions League next week, this win not only boosts their confidence but also alleviates some pressure on coach Sahin. In contrast, Bochum remains in a precarious position, sitting second-to-last in the league with only one point under new coach Peter Zeidler.
