Borussia Dortmund erased a two-goal deficit to defeat TSG Hoffenheim 3-2 in a Bundesliga match on Friday. Leon Avdullahu opened the scoring for the hosts with a long-range strike, and Tim Lemperle doubled the lead early in the second half after a deflection off Waldemar Anton. Borussia Dortmund responded shortly after the hour mark when Serhou Guirassy converted a chip following an interception by Anton. Fábio Silva equalized for the visitors shortly after entering the match, setting up a frantic finish. The winning goal arrived in the 87th minute when an Albian Hajdari own-goal secured the victory for Borussia Dortmund.
