On 30th July 2025, football fans gathered at the Leimbachstadion in Siegen, Germany, to witness an exciting preseason friendly between local club Sportfreunde Siegen and German giants Borussia Dortmund.

Date: 30 July 2025
Venue: Leimbachstadion, Siegen
Final Score: Borussia Dortmund 6 – 0 Sportfreunde Siegen
Dortmund dominated the match from start to finish, securing a comfortable 6-0 victory. However, for Siegen, this game was less about the result and more about the experience of playing against one of Europe’s best.

Goals came from Moukoko, Julian Brandt, and Sebastien Haller, who made a heartwarming return from injury, thrilling fans with his energy and goal-scoring form.
