Borussia Dortmund 1-0 Ulsan HD, FIFA Club World Cup: Svensson Helps BVB Enter Knockout Round

Daniel Svensson scored in the 36th minute to lead Borussia Dortmund over Ulsan 1-0 on Thursday (June 26, 2025) and into the second round of the FIFA Club World Cup. After a giveaway by Ulsan on a poor pass near their own goal, Jobe Bellingham centred to Svensson, who took a touch and beat goalkeeper Jo Hyeon-woo from about 10 yards. Dortmund won Group F with seven points, two more than Fluminense, who finished second following a 0-0 draw with Mamelodi Sundowns. Ulsan were last, losing all three games. The match on a 93-degree Fahrenheit (33 Celsius) day with a heat advisory drew 8,239 at 26,000-capacity TQL Stadium, where the crowd included USA vice-president JD Vance. Dortmund outshot Ulsan 28-3.
