Sept 5 : An own goal four minutes from the end by Hoffenheim’s Albian Hajdari allowed Borussia Dortmund to rally from two goals down and secure a 3-2 away win in a thrilling Bundesliga clash on Saturday.
Dortmund made it two wins from two at the start of the season but had to do it the hard way as goals from Tim Lemperle and Leon Avdullahu put Hoffenheim 2-0 up 10 minutes into the second half.
Serhou Guirassy pulled one back and Fabio Silva equalised after 66 minutes, and when Hajdari tried to clear a low ball in the box, he succeeded only in steering the ball into his own net.
Promoted Elversberg netted late to earn a 4-3 win at Borussia Moenchengladbach despite playing half the match with 10 men as they made it two wins from two this season in a dream start to their maiden top-flight campaign.
