Borussia Dortmund conceded a draw (1-1) to an unusually indifferent Bochum side on Saturday in the second Bundesliga fixture, a week after a minimum win against Cologne.

Already far from their best level against Cologne, Dortmund’s players once again showed their flaws in how they organized the match against Bochum’s defensive block.

Back from the dressing room, BVB looked cooler and more determined as Dutchman Donyell Malen (56), who had already scored last week, scored from outside the box to seal the win. .

But the locals were trying to regain the upper hand with Steger (68 points).

Despite Julian Brandt’s (90+5) last-minute chance, Dortmund conceded the tie and are now on four points after two games, giving Bayern Munich a chance at home to Augsburg on Sunday.

A win would see Bayern join Union Berlin, Freiburg and Wolfsburg in winning their respective games this Saturday, topping the three teams with six out of six points.
