Borussia Dortmund returned to action for the first time since the summer break with a 3-1 win over fourth-tier German side RW Oberhausen on Saturday.
Timur Kesim fired the hosts in front after just five minutes to stun their mighty visitors, who although responded in style eventually.
Justin Lerma equalized for the BVB just before half-time on his first appearance since joining from Independiente, while substitutes Serhou Guirassy and Takato Yamamoto came off the bench to score apiece after the break.
A bright start to the pre-season campaign from Dortmund, who had plenty of positive takeaways from the game. Now let's rate how each of the players fared at the Niederrheinstadion:
