Juventus Spoil Hummels’ Farewell with Hard-Fought Victory Over Dortmund
In a captivating friendly match at the Signal Iduna Park, Juventus defeated Borussia Dortmund 2-1, a result that unfortunately overshadowed the emotional farewell of Dortmund legend Mats Hummels. The match served as a crucial final test for both sides as they prepare for the new season.
The atmosphere was charged with emotion as the home crowd paid tribute to Hummels, who was playing his last game for the club. However, it was Juventus who took control of the game, finding their rhythm and creating the better chances. The breakthrough came in the 16th minute when **Andrea Cambiaso** capitalized on a defensive lapse by Dortmund to score the opening goal, putting the *Bianconeri* ahead 1-0.
Despite Dortmund having more of the ball, they struggled to create clear-cut opportunities against a well-organized Juventus defense. The hosts suffered a further blow just before halftime when defender Niklas Süle had to be substituted due to an injury.
Juventus started the second half just as they had finished the first. In the 53rd minute, **Cambiaso** struck again, this time with a clinical finish to double Juventus’s lead. His brace showcased his attacking threat and proved to be the difference-maker on the day.
Dortmund, however, refused to give up. They pushed for a comeback, and their efforts were rewarded in the 89th minute when substitute **Maximilian Beier** found the back of the net, pulling one goal back for the home side.
The late goal set up a tense finale, but Juventus held on to their lead, securing a 2-1 victory. While a disappointing result for Dortmund on such a special occasion, the game was a productive outing for both teams, offering valuable insights before the competitive season begins.
