In eleven of the last twelve Bundesliga seasons, BVB started with a win; the last opening defeat came in 2014, still under Jürgen Klopp, who recorded a total of five opening wins during his seven years at Strobelallee.
And just like the year before, the scorer of BVB’s first goal of the season was: Serhou Guirassy. In 2025, he made it 1-0 against FC St. Pauli at the Millerntor (the match ended 3-3). In the 2025/26 season, no other player in the Bundesliga put his team 1-0 ahead as often as Serhou Guirassy, and he has now done it again right away. With a shot speed of 101.4 km/h, he found the net in the 9th minute from a distance of 16.9 meters.
Already last season, only one team scored more often in the opening 15 minutes than BVB (9 times), and the new season has started with another fast start. And at the back, they once again kept a clean sheet, helped by three saves from goalkeeper Gregor Kobel. (br)
