Bologna secured a thrilling 2-1 comeback win over Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League, their first victory in the tournament, putting additional strain on the struggling German side. Dortmund initially took the lead with a penalty from Serhou Guirassy in the 15th minute; however, they have since faced a barren run, losing all their matches in 2025.
Despite an early advantage, Dortmund's hold on the game weakened after halftime, allowing Bologna to exploit their lapses. The Italian team responded with a fast counter-attack that led to an equalizer from substitute Thijs Dallinga in the 71st minute.
Just a minute later, Bologna struck again when Samuel Iling-Junior found the net following a deep cross, capitalizing on defensive mistakes by Dortmund. With the game slipping away, Bologna had numerous opportunities to extend their lead, showcasing their resurgence in form.
