A dramatic encounter saw Hamburger SV snatch a 1-1 draw against Borussia Dortmund thanks to Ransford Königsdörffer’s injury-time header, denying BVB a much-needed Bundesliga victory.
Hamburger SV secured a dramatic 1-1 draw against Borussia Dortmund at the Volksparkstadion, with a late injury-time goal ensuring the spoils were shared in the two teams’ first meeting in eight years.
According to Bulinews reporting, the first half was a physical and “scrappy” contest, with neither side able to impose themselves and both goalkeepers untroubled for long stretches.
The best chance of the half fell to HSV, whose headed effort struck the crossbar just before the whistle.
Dortmund finally broke the deadlock in the 64th minute. Following a corner routine, Nico Schlotterbeck flicked the ball into the path of Carney Chukwuemeka, who volleyed home to put BVB 1-0 up.
The hosts refused to give up and fought back during the “whooping seven minutes of added time.” HSV substitute Ransford Königsdörffer proved to be the hero for Hamburg, rising highest to meet a Miro Muheim cross and pick out the corner with a superb header.
The last-gasp equalizer meant the match ended 1-1, denying Dortmund a much-needed Bundesliga victory. The result leaves BVB on 20 points after the dramatic afternoon.
