Juventus 4-4 Borussia Dortmund: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Bwin’s post-match review of Juventus 4-4 Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League on Tuesday, 16 September 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

The thrilling 4-4 draw between Juventus and Borussia Dortmund showcased a rollercoaster of emotions and tactical shifts. Juventus, playing at home, managed to salvage a point in the dying moments with two injury-time goals, overturning what seemed like a certain defeat. This result was unexpected given Juventus's recent form, as they had not secured a win in their last outing. Borussia Dortmund, on the other hand, displayed resilience but will rue the late collapse that denied them a victory away from home.

Key moments defined the match, with Juventus's Kenan Yıldız and Dušan Vlahović stepping up when it mattered most. Yıldız's goal in the 63rd minute sparked a comeback, while Vlahović's brace, including a crucial equaliser in the 90+4th minute, highlighted his impact off the bench. For Dortmund, Karim Adeyemi and Felix Nmecha's goals in the second half appeared to have sealed the win, but Juventus's late surge ended Dortmund's hopes of extending their winning run.

The statistics from the match reflect the intensity and competitiveness of the encounter. Juventus edged possession with 52% compared to Dortmund's 48%, yet the game remained closely contested throughout. Notably, Juventus's efficiency in the final moments was evident with two injury-time goals, contrasting with Dortmund's single penalty. The higher number of corners for Juventus (4 vs. Dortmund's 2) suggests they had more set-piece opportunities, while the equal number of assists (4 for Juventus, 3 for Dortmund) underscores the attacking intent from both sides.

Juventus's late surge was catalysed by key substitutions and timely goals. João Mário Neto Lopes and Dušan Vlahović were introduced in the 59th and 60th minutes, respectively, and their impact was immediate. Yıldız's goal in the 63rd minute ignited the comeback, followed by Vlahović's equaliser in the 67th. The drama peaked in stoppage time with Vlahović's second and Lloyd Kelly's goal in the 90+6th minute, securing a dramatic draw.

Borussia Dortmund's key moments were marked by a mix of offensive prowess and defensive lapses. Karim Adeyemi's goal in the 52nd minute gave Dortmund the lead, followed by Felix Nmecha's strike in the 65th. Yan Bueno Couto's goal in the 74th minute seemed to seal the victory, but a late penalty by Ramy Bensebaini in the 86th minute couldn't prevent the collapse in the final minutes.

Juventus deployed a 3-4-2-1 formation, with Michele Di Gregorio in goal and a back three of Pierre Kalulu, Bremer, and Lloyd Kelly. The midfield was anchored by Weston McKennie and T. Koopmeiners, with Khéphren Thuram and Andrea Cambiaso providing width. Up front, Jonathan David, Kenan Yıldız, and Loïs Openda led the attack. The impact of substitutions was crucial, with Dušan Vlahović's introduction in the 60th minute proving decisive as he scored twice, including the equaliser in stoppage time.

Borussia Dortmund lined up in a 3-4-2-1 formation, with Gregor Kobel between the posts and a defensive trio of Julian Ryerson, Waldemar Anton, and Ramy Bensebaini. The midfield was controlled by Yan Couto, Marcel Sabitzer, Felix Nmecha, and Daniel Svensson, while Karim Adeyemi and Maximilian Beier supported striker Serhou Guirassy. Substitutions played a role, with Julian Brandt and Jobe Bellingham coming on in the 71st minute, but it was the late defensive lapses that cost Dortmund the win.

Kenan Yıldız earns the title of Bwin’s Man of the Match for his pivotal role in Juventus's comeback. Scoring a crucial goal and providing an assist, Yıldız also created one big chance and delivered three key passes, showcasing his influence on the game. His performance was instrumental in turning the tide for Juventus, making him a standout player in this thrilling encounter.
