Bologna Secures First Champions League Win, Defeats Dortmund 2-1

Borussia Dortmund's struggles deepened with a 2-1 defeat against Bologna in the Champions League, marking their fourth consecutive loss across all competitions. Dortmund initially took the lead with a penalty from Serhou Guirassy, but Bologna responded with two quick goals from substitutes Thijs Dallinga and Samuel Iling-Junior, securing their first win in the modern Champions League. The defeat left Dortmund sitting in 13th place, jeopardizing their chances for direct qualification to the knockout stage. Coach Nuri Sahin's position has come under scrutiny, though he expressed a belief in his players' support. Dortmund's sporting director, Lars Ricken, refrained from committing to Sahin's future, emphasizing the need for a thorough discussion about the club's direction. Bologna, despite their low league standing, celebrated the historic win, highlighting the contrast in fortunes between the two teams.
