Borussia Dortmund opened their Champions League campaign with a victory against Villarreal at Westfalenstadion. Serhou Guirassy marked his 100th appearance for the club by scoring a late brace to secure the win. The visitors initially stayed competitive through a Santiago Mourino header, but Guirassy restored the home side's lead with a close-range finish before converting a penalty he drew himself. An injury-time own goal from Guirassy cut the lead, but the hosts maintained their advantage to finish the match. Dortmund now turns their attention to a league fixture against Paderborn. The match also saw Konstantinos Karetsas substituted early for Borussia Dortmund due to a circulation issue.
