For Dortmund, this draw snatched at 90+5 against Leipzig (2-2) looks more like a success than a bad result. Trailing 2-0 after a double from Baumgartner in the first period (20th, 39th), Niko Kovac’s men finally avoided the worst, namely leaving empty-handed.

They reduced the gap thanks to an own goal from Romulo Cardoso (50th, 2-1) while Fabio Silva, who came on during the match, snatched the point from the draw in stoppage time (2-2). A very important goal for the Portuguese international, who arrived this summer and has never yet scored after 16 Bundesliga matches. Dortmund remains 2nd in the championship. Leipzig is 5th.
