Post-Match Reactions: BVB squander two goal lead, tie Werder Bremen 2-2

Borussia Dortmund squandered a late two-goal lead to draw 2-2 against Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga, ending their four-game winning streak. 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.

Writer Adam-Warner argues that Dortmund looked like a shell of themselves over the final 10 minutes and criticizes the team's ongoing pattern of slow first-half starts. 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.
