Breathless drama at the Signal Iduna Park

Breathless drama unfolds at the Signal Iduna Park as Dortmund face Werder Bremen.

Dominating completely with 72% possession, completing 753 passes and registering 21 shots (with a superior xG of 2.42 compared to 1.13), Dortmund suffocated Bremen before a late flurry of goals. In the 80th minute, Daniel Svensson opened the scoring on his 50th Bundesliga appearance, before Nico Schlotterbeck doubled the lead to 2-0 in the 85th minute in what seemed to be the killer blow.

Defensive capitulation and a former player's revenge

Dortmund's defensive collapse allows former striker Niclas Füllkrug to secure a dramatic equaliser.

Late complacency cost Dortmund's defence dearly as Ludovit Reis pulled one back to make it 1-2 in the 88th minute, before former striker Niclas Füllkrug snatched a 2-2 equaliser in the 92nd minute, scoring for the fourth consecutive Bundesliga match. Earlier, despite losing Amos Pieper to injury in the 19th minute, Bremen stood firm thanks to goalkeeper Karl Hein, who earned an 8.6 Sofascore rating with seven outstanding saves.
