The friendly match between San Diego Loyal and Borussia Dortmund will take place at Torero Stadium on Friday at 8:00 am IST.
On Friday, German powerhouse Borussia Dortmund will be the guests of American second-tier team San Diego Loyal in a friendly match at Snapdragon Stadium. Borussia Dortmund aims to maintain their flawless pre-season record by securing a victory in their fourth consecutive match, while San Diego Loyal is gearing up for their first game in nearly two weeks.
Borussia Dortmund again settled for the runners-up position for the fourth time in five seasons. Despite holding the lead at the top of the table, they heartbreakingly lost it to Bayern Munich on the final day of the 2022-23 season. However, Dortmund has shown resilience in the face of disappointment, starting their pre-season brightly with three wins in Germany against lower-league opponents. Dortmund will begin their tour of the USA with a promising match against San Diego Loyal on Friday. Subsequently, they will face Manchester United, Chelsea, and Ajax.
San Diego Loyal is currently two-thirds of the way through their USL Championship campaign, but they have had a 12-day preparation period leading up to Friday’s match. Their most recent game took place on July 15, where they achieved an impressive 5-0 victory against Colorado Springs. The team from California is gearing up for six consecutive home matches in various competitions, including their first-ever encounter against a European club, Borussia Dortmund. The German giants will be welcomed to the Torero Stadium on Friday.
San Diego Loyal probable starting lineup: Koke, Riley, Stoneman, E. Martin, Perez, Corona, C. Martin, Adams, Bodily, Moshobane, Conway
Borussia Dortmund probable starting lineup: Kobel, Meunier, Hummels, Schlotterbeck, Bensebaini, Ozcan, Nmecha, Adeyemi, Reus, Hazard, Haller
