The opening goal sparked a frenetic pace, with both teams pushing for more goals. However, few anticipated the deluge of goals that followed. Kenan Yildiz's stunning curling shot from distance found the top corner, setting the stage for an action-packed sequence that saw three more goals in the next 12 minutes.

Felix Nmecha restored Dortmund's lead with a beautifully struck shot from the edge of the area. However, Dusan Vlahovic quickly equalized for Juventus, racing onto Kenan Yildiz's pass to slot the ball home. Dortmund regained the lead when Ramy Bensebaini converted a penalty after Lloyd Kelly's handball. But Juventus staged a sensational late comeback in added time.

Dusan Vlahovic capitalized on Pierre Kalulu's cross, scoring at the near post to make it 4-3. However, Lloyd Kelly redeemed himself for an earlier penalty blunder by heading home Vlahovic's cross in the 96th minute, salvaging a 4-4 draw.

Despite the chaotic finish, both Dortmund and Juventus remained unbeaten in all competitions this term. However, Dortmund's manager, Edin Terzic's counterpart Niko Kovac wasn't at the helm, will likely be left puzzled by his team's inability to hold onto their lead.
