Dortmund snaps losing run but throws away lead
Borussia Dortmund squandered a two-goal advantage to draw 2-2 at home to Werder Bremen under interim coach Mike Tullberg, but did at least snap a four-game losing run across all competitions.
Dortmund parted ways with coach Nuri Sahin last week, one day after a 2-1 UEFA Champions League loss to Bologna, appointing youth coach Tullberg for the game against Werder.
In an eventful debut for the Dane, the hosts suffered an early setback when Felix Nmecha went off injured and things got worse when defender Nico Schlotterbeck was sent off with a red card in the 20th.
But Dortmund striker Serhou Guirassy headed in from close range in the 28th minute to put the hosts in the driving seat.
The Guinea international also had a hand in their second goal when Werder's Marco Friedl turned his cutback into his own goal in the 51st.
The visitors, however, were given far too much space and pulled a goal back through Leonardo Bittencourt in the 65th.
Marvin Duksch completed the comeback with a good finish and Werder still had enough chances for a winner, with Dortmund desperately hanging on for the point.
Dortmund is in 10th place on 26 points, while Bremen is one point better off in eighth.
Dortmund remains winless in four matches in the Bundesliga, its joint-longest winless streak since December 2023.
It has now dropped 11 points from winning positions in the Bundesliga this term. Only Wolfsburg and Bayer Leverkusen (both 13) have dropped more.
On the flipside, the nine points Bremen has salvaged from a losing position is the highest return in the Bundesliga this campaign.
