Borussia Dortmund returned to winning ways in the UEFA Champions League with a hard-fought 2-1 win over Sabah at the Baku Olympic Stadium. Serhou Guirassy scored twice to end Dortmund’s three-match winless streak across all competitions.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The German giants faced a determined Sabah side, but Guirassy’s clinical finishing ultimately made the difference in an entertaining European encounter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dortmund Strike Early Through Guirassy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Following a frustrating goalless Bundesliga draw against Union Berlin, Borussia Dortmund entered the contest determined to rediscover their attacking rhythm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fabio Silva immediately threatened Sabah’s defense, forcing goalkeeper Stas Pokatilov into two important saves. Guirassy also missed an early opportunity before making amends in the 10th minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The striker reacted quickest after Pokatilov spilled Felix Nmecha’s powerful effort, calmly converting the rebound to give Dortmund a 1-0 advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dortmund continued pressing, with Pokatilov producing an impressive double save to deny Joey Veerman’s free-kick and Carney Chukwuemeka’s follow-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sabah Fight Back to Level Before Half-Time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Despite Dortmund’s dominance, Sabah refused to surrender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joy-Lance Mickels briefly celebrated what looked like a spectacular equalizer after curling the ball into the top corner. However, the goal was ruled out for a narrow offside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sabah’s persistence eventually paid off when Aden McCarthy headed home Tymoteusz Puchacz’s free-kick<\/strong>, scoring his first goal for the club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The equalizer energized the hosts, and Kaheem Parris soon tested Dortmund goalkeeper Gregor Kobel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both teams entered half-time level at 1-1, setting up an intriguing second half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guirassy Scores Again to Seal Dortmund’s Victory<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dortmund emerged from the break with renewed attacking intent, and Guirassy soon restored their advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Veerman delivered an excellent cross towards the back post, where the striker connected with a composed side-foot volley to make it 2-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goal marked Guirassy’s fourth Champions League strike of the 2026\/27 campaign<\/strong>, matching his entire tally from the previous season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sabah continued searching for another equalizer, with Mickels testing Kobel from distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both sides squandered late opportunities. Silva fired wide when through on goal, while Sabah substitute Orphe Mbina also failed to convert a promising chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dortmund ultimately protected their narrow lead until the final whistle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
