After a 0-0 draw in the first match against Fluminense, the Bundesliga club beat South African serial champions Mamelodi Sundowns 4-3.
In the midday heat of Cincinnati, Dortmund fell behind to a goal from Lucas Ribeiro (11). But Felix Nmecha (16), Serhou Guirassy (34) and starting debutant Jobe Bellingham (45), the brother of Real star Jude Bellingham, turned the game in BVB's favor before the break. In the second half, coach Niko Kovac's team took a 4:1 lead thanks to an own goal from Khuliso Mudau (59'). However, it was still exciting as Iqraam Rayners (62') and Lebo Mothiba (90') brought Sundowns back to 3:4. Kobel had to let three of the four shots on his goal pass.
Dortmund will play HD Ulsan from South Korea again in Cincinnati on Wednesday in the final preliminary round match.
