Shortly after the transfer, Haller was diagnosed with testicular cancer and subsequently required seven months of treatment only recently making his return to action.

It’s his first goal since May 2022 and the Yellow Wall erupted when it found the net.

Fittingly, today also happens to be World Cancer Day – which Dortmund acknowledged ahead of kickoff.

Before the match and during the half-time break, a bulge that symbolizes a testicular tumor will be added to the center circle to raise awareness for testicular cancer. It's never too early to get a cancer screening and please do it regularly! 🙏 #WorldCancerDay
