While there was a major gulf in talent between the two sides, Dortmundā€™s early lead through a Julien Duranville strike from close-range flattered the Bundesliga outfit.

San Diego showed no fear in hitting Dortmund on the counterattack, and probably should have had a few goals of their own in the opening 15 minutes.

They were punished for their wastefulness however, as Youssoufa Moukoko capitalized on a calamitous back-pass to slide home and double Dortmundā€™s lead before the half-hour mark.

Dortmund captain Marco Reus made his mark on the match, scoring on the hour mark to put the Schwarzgelben three ahead and opening the floodgates.

Only a minute later, Thomas Meunier made the most of his cameo off the bench by continuing to pile on Dortmundā€™s USL opponents, scoring from inside the penalty area, which was quickly followed up by a SĆ©bastien Haller strike from the spot.

Youngster Paul-Philipp Besong scored late on to cap off the blowout victory for the Bundesliga giants.

Next up for Edin Terzićā€™s men is a trip to Las Vegas, where they will square off with Manchester United.
