Borussia Dortmund snatched a topsy-turvy 4-3 victory over Augsburg on Sunday with striker Sebastien Haller making a second half substitute appearance following his cancer treatment.
Augsburg managed to equalise three times before Gio Reyna's 78th minute looping shot gave the hosts victory in their season restart following a two-month break.
"Obviously I got goosebumps with the welcome I got," said Haller, who was signed only weeks before his pre-season cancer diagnosis. "It was unbelievable and unforgettable. I was just happy to be here and take the first steps on the pitch."Dortmund struck after 29 minutes with Jude Bellingham weaving a shot through three defenders after creating just the bit of space he needed with a superb move.
The Dortmund defender, however, made amends only two minutes later, heading in from a free kick to put them back in front. Dortmund coach Edin Terzic brought on Haller and Jamie Bynoe-Gittens after the hour mark to add more punch to his attack and it paid off with the latter thundering in their third goal from outside the box in the 75th.
