Jacob Bruun Larsen's late goal ensured Borussia Dortmund were held to a 1-1 draw by Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga. The former Dortmund player scored in stoppage time, cancelling out Giovanni Reyna's earlier goal. This result at Signal Iduna Park denied Dortmund all three points. Hoffenheim, without a win in five matches, started strong but Dortmund soon took control.

Despite their struggles, Hoffenheim showed resilience. They had not scored in six away games across all competitions, with a goalless streak of 405 minutes in the Bundesliga. However, Bruun Larsen ended this drought with his crucial equaliser. Meanwhile, Reyna's goal marked his first Bundesliga strike since May 2023.

Dortmund had hoped to climb to fifth place in the league standings with a victory. Their plans seemed on track when Reyna capitalised on a defensive error just 31 seconds into the second half. He seized a poor clearance and drilled the ball home, giving Dortmund an early lead after the break.

The match took a dramatic turn in the 91st minute when Bruun Larsen scored from Haris Tabakovic's low cross. His goal secured a point for Hoffenheim and extended their run of draws to three consecutive matches. This late twist left Dortmund frustrated as they failed to secure back-to-back home wins.

This result marked the second consecutive home game where Dortmund was unable to maintain their lead. Despite taking control after Hoffenheim's strong start, they couldn't hold onto their advantage until the final whistle. The draw highlighted both teams' challenges as they continue their Bundesliga campaigns.
