Dortmund concede late Hoffenheim equaliser in the Bundesliga | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund missed the opportunity to get back to winning ways in the Bundesliga by conceding a last-gasp equaliser to record a 1-1 draw against Hoffenheim at Signal Iduna Park today.

The hosts went into the match under pressure after successive draws, but their sluggish start to this encounter nearly proved costly as Max Moerstedt fired narrowly over the bar early on.

Dortmund replied with Nico Schlotterbeck heading Pascal Groß’s free-kick wide.

The drama started soon after the half-hour mark when Serhou Guirassy was awarded a penalty after being brought down by Arthur Chaves.

However, a VAR review overturned the decision as it was ruled that he had gone to ground too easily, frustrating the home fans.

Dortmund took the lead moments after half-time. Giovanni Reyna capitalised on a loose ball in the box, smashing it into the roof of the net to give the hosts the lead.

Hoffenheim nearly levelled when Adam Hlozek headed over from Alexander Prass’ dangerous cross.

The visitors’ persistence finally paid off in injury time, as Jacob Bruun Larsen turned in a late equaliser at the far post, silencing the famous Yellow Wall.

Dortmund extended their unbeaten home league run to 11 matches but let slip crucial points that could have moved them level with fourth-placed RB Leipzig.

Hoffenheim celebrated a hard-earned point that keeps them four points above the relegation zone and offers a glimmer of hope in their battle to turn their season around.
