Dortmund and Roma play to a 2-2 draw in friendly match

Borussia Dortmund and AS Roma played to a 2-2 draw in a friendly match held at Signal Iduna Park on August 15, 2026. Roma took an early lead with Paulo Dybala scoring in the 4th minute and setting up Bryan Cristante for a second goal in the 9th minute. Dortmund responded quickly, with Konstantinos Karetsas facilitating a goal for Julian Ryerson in the 11th or 12th minute, followed by Serhou Guirassy equalizing in the 28th minute after an assist from Ryerson.

The match featured two Greek players, Konstantinos Karetsas for Dortmund and Konstantinos Koulierakis for Roma, though they did not play simultaneously. Karetsas started the match and was substituted in the 60th minute, immediately after hitting the crossbar with a shot from outside the box. Koulierakis entered the game as a substitute at that same mark to replace him. Sources provided slightly conflicting timestamps for the first Dortmund goal, citing either the 11th or 12th minute, and for the timing of the Karetsas post-shot, citing either the 48th or 59th minute.
