#### Post-Match Analysis:

Dortmund manager Joachim Low praised his team’s performance, noting that they showed resilience and determination despite being behind initially. He highlighted the importance of Werner’s contributions, saying he is “a force to be reckoned with.”

Bayern manager Pep Guardiola, on the other hand, felt disappointed with the outcome, especially given the quality of the match. He emphasized the need for his players to maintain focus and improve their attacking play.

The win sets up a challenging start for both teams in the Bundesliga. Dortmund will face a tough challenge against another strong side, Schalke 04, next week. Meanwhile, Bayern will have to bounce back quickly after this setback and prepare for their home match against RB Leipzig in the following weekend.

This early victory for Dortmund marks a positive start to the season and could potentially lead to a brighter future for the club, which has been in a rebuilding phase since the departure of Thomas Tuchel earlier this year.
