Held in check by PSV Eindhoven in their Champions League round of 16 in the middle of the week, Borussia Dortmund returned to the Bundesliga with the reception of Hoffenheim as part of the 23rd day, this Sunday. Picked cold from the start by the opener of the score of Bebou (2nd), the Marsupiaux were able to react quickly through Malen (21st) before Schlotterbeck gave his team the advantage four minutes later ( 25th).

Leading by the score at the break, the BvB was surprised by an enterprising Hoffenheim team determined to break with its current negative spiral. In quick succession, Beier extinguished Signal Iduna Park by equalizing on the hour mark (61st) before scoring a double (65th). The Ruhr club pressed their opponent to try to make them give in, in vain since it was Hoffenheim who left with the three points. Thus, Dortmund fell at home (2-3) and missed the opportunity to overtake Leipzig, beaten by Bayern Munich the day before. In search of a victory since December 8, 2023, Hoffenheim finally finds a smile again and gives itself some air in the standings.
