VfL Bochum needed just five minutes to get off to the perfect start against a Borussia Dortmund side starting the day top of the Bundesliga, with Anthony Losilla’s shot from range breaking the deadlock.

But the visitors needed no less than two minutes to respond, with Karim Adeyemi equalising in the seventh minute from inside the box in a breathless start to the game on Friday night.

Dortmund forced a number of opportunities in the first half after their equaliser, with Adeyemi spurning two good chances, but it was the hosts that started the second half the better.

The visitors slowly asserted their dominance on the match, and began to push in earnest as the game entered the dying phases.

Mats Hummels had the ball in the back of the net in the 90th minute, but it was rightly ruled out for offside, before Edin Terzic earned himself a yellow card for complaints before the final whistle left his side having dropped two valuable points.

FULL REPORT TO COME.
