Borussia Dortmund warmed up for next weekend's Franz Beckenbauer Super Cup against Bayern Munich with a 2-2 home friendly draw with Roma on Saturday.
After the new Dortmund squad was presented to fans before kick-off, those in the almost sold-out stadium were treated to an open match with plenty of chances at both ends.
The game began with two early blows for Dortmund. Argentinian Paulo Dybala gave the Italians an early lead with a left-footed shot from close range. A short time later, Bryan Cristante made it 2-0 with a header from a corner.
Julian Ryerson's goal in the 12th minute and Serhou Guirassy's strike in the 28th then made it 2-2 for the home side.
Dortmund's first competitive test of the new season awaits next Saturday. The Black and Yellows, Bundesliga runners-up last term, host double winners Bayern in the Super Cup.
