The Bundesliga is set to resume this weekend after a break for the end-of-year holidays. During this hiatus, clubs engaged in friendly matches to keep their players in top form. Bayern Munich, for instance, faced a setback with a 3-0 defeat against Red Bull Salzburg in their last friendly match.
Borussia Dortmund, currently sitting in a disappointing fourth place in the Bundesliga after the first half of the season, sought to maintain momentum by securing a convincing 6-1 victory over Duisburg in a recent friendly. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, the fourth top scorer in the German championship with 9 goals, made a notable contribution by opening the scoring in the 7th minute with a well-executed right-footed shot.
As the second half of the season kicks off, Dortmund, under the guidance of coach Jurgen Klopp, aims to improve their standing and fulfill their promise of finishing in second place. The team will rely on an efficient Aubameyang, who showcased his goal-scoring prowess in the friendly. Borussia Dortmund’s next challenge is against Augsburg on Saturday.
