After a goalless opening period, Daniel Svensson broke the deadlock for Niko Kovač's side in the 80th minute before Nico Schlotterbeck doubled the advantage five minutes later. However, Werder Bremen staged a dramatic comeback as Ludovit Reis scored from distance and former Dortmund striker Niclas Füllkrug headed home an equalizer in the 92nd minute.

The author also notes that Dortmund had a potential 62nd-minute goal by Ethan Nwaneri disallowed for a contentious foul by Waldemar Anton on Füllkrug.
