| Sebastien Haller of Borussia Dortmund is challenged by Arne Engels of FC Augsburg during the Bundesliga match between Borussia Dortmund and FC Augsburg at Signal Iduna Park on January 22, 2023 in Dortmund, Germany. |
Borussia Dortmund clinched a 4-3 thriller at home against Augsburg on Sunday as Sebastien Haller returned to the team after battling testicular cancer.
Dortmund took the lead three times, only for Augsburg to equalise, exploiting the home side´s disorganised defence.
Dortmund manager Edin Terzic brought on Jamie Bynoe-Gittens and Gio Reyna in the 70th minute, with both wingers scoring goals to help carry their team to victory.
The home side had the better of the early proceedings before Jude Bellingham broke through in the 29th minute.
The 19-year-old Englishman collected the ball on the edge of the box and sent the Augsburg defenders the wrong way, before drilling a low shot into the bottom right corner of the net.
Despite Dortmund´s dominance of possession, Augsburg hit back in the 40th minute, when Dion Beljo dispossessed a sloppy Nico Schlotterbeck before passing to Arne Maier, who hammered home.
Schlotterbeck redeemed himself immediately, however, heading in a Julian Brandt free-kick to put Dortmund up 2-1.
