Waldhof Mannheim came to Dortmund on July 31^st and went home with one point. Marco Pašalić scored the first goal in the 16^th minute off an assist from Immanuel Pherai. The ex-Dortmund II captain Joseph Boyamba scored the equalizer in the 61^st minute. Dortmund was lucky to escape with one point though, as Mannheim nearly had a penalty kick in the waning minutes of the second half.

Enrico Maaßen made two changes from last week’s starting lineup: Albin Thaqi for the suspended Niklas Dams and Ansgar Knauff for Marco Hober. Moritz Broschinski remains injured.

Substitutions were: Cebrails Makreckis for Ansgar Knauff (60’), Ole Pohlmann for Marco Pašalić (73’), and Ted Tattermusch for Berkan Taz (82’).

Marco Pašalić (65’) and Ted Tattermusch (90’) received yellow cards.

Looking Ahead

Borussia Dortmund U17

The U17s face SV Lippstadt 08 on August 8^th and Rot-Weiss Essen on August 14^th in the NRW-Ligapokal B-Junioren.

Borussia Dortmund U19

The U19s face SC Preußen Münster in the NRW-Ligapokal A-Junioren on August 7^th and TSV Alemannia Aachen on August 15^th.

Borussia Dortmund II

The U23s don’t play until August 13^th again, where they are away at SC Freiburg II. Really the week break is due to the first round of the DFB Pokal, but I’m telling myself it’s so I can move across the country without missing a game.

Anyway, early season standings check: Freiburg is a fellow newly promoted side and sits in 10^th place (2 points, 0-2-0). Both of their games have been 0-0 draws. Fun.

Dortmund is fourth with 4 points (1-1-0) and +1 goal differential (3:2).

Borussia Dortmund Frauen

The ladies will play a friendly against TSV 1860 München on August 8^th and Eintracht Solingen on August 15^th.
