Your code with the matrix is not correct because your nodes are on same row, they are separated by & and there is only one \ in your matrix.
If you want to use a matrix, I propose following code which loads matrix library and uses a matrix of nodes to simplify syntax.
But I think second solution is better, just use above=0pt of ... and you'll get two nodes one above the other.
documentclass[tikz, margin=1pt]standalone
usetikzlibrarypositioning, matrix
tikzsetball/.style=draw, circle, minimum size=.1cm
begindocument
begintikzpicture
matrix[matrix of nodes, nodes=draw, ball, row sep=0pt]
b2\
b1\
;
endtikzpicture
begintikzpicture
node[ball] (b1) b1;
node[ball, above=0pt of b1] (b2) b2;
endtikzpicture
enddocument

I want to finally make a grid of balls that is why I used matrix in the first place. I just reduced it to the essential part for the MWE.
