Dortmund stun Hoffenheim with late rally to seal dramatic 3–2 win

Borussia Dortmund produced a remarkable turnaround to defeat Hoffenheim 3–2, overturning a two‑goal deficit and extending the hosts’ poor run in this fixture. Hoffenheim dominated the first half, repeatedly testing Gregor Kobel through Adam Hlozek, Tim Lemperle and Adam Daghim, before finally breaking through when Leon Avdullahu curled home a superb strike from distance. Lemperle then doubled the lead early in the second half, dispossessing Joane Gadou and scoring via a heavy deflection.

The match seemed decided, but Dortmund exploded into life on the hour mark. Waldemar Anton sparked the comeback by winning the ball high and setting up Serhou Guirassy for a composed dinked finish. Moments later, Guirassy assisted substitute Fabio Silva, who fired in a precise angled shot to level the score. The decisive moment arrived three minutes from time, when Ethan Nwaneri’s driving run forced Albian Hajdari into an own goal. Dortmund now sit joint top with two wins from two.
