MATCHDAY: New Dortmund coach faces Union Berlin test

A look at what’s happening around European soccer on Friday:

GERMANY

Can new Borussia Dortmund coach Edin Terzic pass a test that Bayern Munich failed? That's question as Dortmund visits Union Berlin, which ground out a 1-1 draw with Bayern last week, allowing Bayer Leverkusen to overtake Bayern for top spot in Bundesliga. Terzic's first game in interim charge after firing of Lucien Favre was a 2-1 win over Werder Bremen on Tuesday. It was Dortmund's first league win since v. 21, but hardly a convincing victory. Terzic has same problems that Favre faced — keeping Dortmund's sometimes-shaky defense on track and scoring eugh goals while star striker Erling Haaland is injured.

SPAIN

Athletic Bilbao hosts Huesca needing a win with coach Gaizka Garita under pressure after four rounds without a victory. Bilbao put in a good performance on Tuesday when it came close to snatching a draw at Real Mrid despite playing with 10 men most of match after Raúl García was sent off early. game, however, ended with a 3-1 victory for defending champions. Garita has received public backing of Bilbao’s club president. Bilbao will be missing García and defender Yeray Álvarez who are both suspended. Huesca won its first match of season last round. Bilbao is in 13th place. Huesca is in 19th.
