Borussia Dortmund defeats AS Roma in season opener

Borussia Dortmund secured a surprising 1-0 victory against AS Roma in their season opener. The match marked a significant personal milestone for Alex Popp, who captained the team at the Rote Erde stadium in Dortmund before a crowd of 8,583 spectators.

Despite the win, the match was marred by an injury to defender Yasu Wöhrn. The 22-year-old suffered a knee injury during a defensive action in her own penalty area and was unable to continue, requiring assistance from teammates to leave the pitch. Frederike Kempe entered the game as a substitute in her place.
