Asserting their strength, Dortmund scored 4 consecutive goals in the Champions League

(Dortmund vs Athletic Bilbao result) - Borussia Dortmund secured a remarkable 4-1 win against Athletic Bilbao during the Champions League group matches.

Borussia Dortmund delivered a stunning 4-1 triumph over Athletic Bilbao in the second group stage match of the Champions League, dispelling fears of repeating the scenario of losing a lead as they did against Juventus.

Entering the home game, Dortmund showed strong determination after their unbelievable slip in the opening match, where they let Juventus equalize 4-4 despite leading by four goals. Coach Niko Kovac’s team started confidently and quickly took control of the game. The yellow-black side’s defense, which had kept clean sheets in their last four Bundesliga matches, remained solid, minimizing chances for Gregor Kobel’s goal to be threatened.

Dortmund’s constant pressure paid off early. In the 28th minute, Karim Adeyemi sprinted past Bilbao’s defense before passing back to Daniel Svensson, who finished accurately to open the scoring at 1-0. In the second half, the home team extended their advantage when Carney Chukwuemeka scored with a tight angled shot in the 50th minute, doubling the lead.

Athletic Bilbao, missing their key striker Nico Williams, struggled to organize attacks but surprisingly managed to score. In the 61st minute, Gorka Guruzeta exploited a gap in the penalty area to reduce the deficit to 1-2, reigniting hope for the Spanish side. Afterwards, Bilbao created several dangerous chances, with Robert Navarro even scoring a goal that was disallowed for offside.

Pressure from the visitors caused several heart-stopping moments at Signal Iduna Park. However, the return of striker Serhou Guirassy relieved Dortmund’s tension. In the 82nd minute, the Guinean player struck a shot that deflected off a defender, increasing the score to 3-1. This goal boosted Dortmund’s morale and extinguished Bilbao’s hopes of a comeback.

Not stopping there, Julian Brandt capped off Dortmund’s brilliant day with a goal in stoppage time, confirming the 4-1 victory. This marked Dortmund’s first win in this season’s Champions League and extended their unbeaten streak across all competitions.

With a full three points, Dortmund temporarily strengthened their competitive position in the group and demonstrated clear progress after the initial setback. If they maintain this form, the Bundesliga representatives have the potential to advance far in this season’s Champions League.
