Full-time: Dortmund 1-1 Leipzig

Both teams had chances after the interval, but there's no separating Dortmund and Leipzig at full time. On the balance of play, a draw is probably a fair result.

Excellent save!

Seiwald nicks the ball off Silva and behind for a Dortmund corner. Ryerson's cross is cleared, but Bensebaini picks up the loose ball and sends a low shot towards goal which Gulácsi does brilliantly to parry away.

Brandt heads over!

Svensson lifts a cross into the Leipzig area, where Brandt - left completely unmarked - loops a header narrowly over the bar. A golden opportunity for Dortmund.

Fine all-round display

Not only has Rômelu been a constant threat in the final third, he has also covered an awful lot of ground this afternoon. Can he cap off a fine performance with a late goal?

Bellingham tries his luck

Dortmund counter and Pascal Groß, who has only just come on, cuts the ball back for Bellingham, whose shot is deflected behind for a corner. Ryerson gets another bite of the cherry after his initial cross is cleared, but his second attempt at a delivery is plucked out of the air by Gulácsi.
79'

Kobel to the rescue

Diomande, who has been very lively since coming on, sends a teasing ball across the face of Kobel's goal. Schlotterbeck clears the danger, but Leipzig quickly win back possession and Baumgartner forces Kobel into a magnificent stop with a looping shot from the edge of the area. Leipzig are applying heavy pressure as we enter the final ten minutes.
78'

Ambitious

Rômelu is on his own on the edge of the Dortmund box and decides to try to lob Kobel, but he doesn't strike the ball cleanly and it's an easy save for the Borussia custodian.
76'

Just wide!

Leipzig work the ball well on the edge of the Dortmund area and Raum eventually picks out Baumgartner, who curls a sweetly struck shot just wide of the far post. Kobel could only watch on helplessly.
74'

Sabitzer goes down

Raum brings down the Dortmund midfielder near the halfway line, allowing his team to re-orginise their defensive shape.
71'

Kovač shuffles his pack

Not a bad duo to bring on. Can they make the difference here?
69'

Leipzig win a corner

Raum whips the ball into the Dortmund box, but the home side clear their lines.

Werner makes double change

Diomande and Banzuzi enter the fray.

Bakayoko runs into traffic

The Belgian is next to have a go at taking on the Dortmund defence but ultimately runs into traffic and loses the ball.
camera-photo

Twenty-five to go

Both teams look capable of adding to Baumgartner and Couto's first-half efforts. Leipzig are seeing plenty of the ball at the moment, albeit without really testing Kobel in the Dortmund goal.
63'

Wide from Guirassy

The Dortmund striker almost gets on the end of a low cross from the left flank but can't make proper contact with the ball, which rolls behind for a Leipzig goal-kick.
61'

Bakayoko goes close

The Leipzig forward channels his inner Arjen Robben, cutting inside from the right before letting fly with his left foot - but the ball trickles wide of Kobel's left-hand post.
61'

Fresh legs

First change of the afternoon as Ryerson replaces the Dortmund goalscorer.
59'

Adeyemi races clear...

...but the Dortmund man's cross fails to find Guirassy and Seiwald is able to clear the danger.
58'

Leipzig recover

Baumgartner loses possession in a dangerous area inside the Leipzig half but Svensson fails to take advantage, gifting possession back to the visitors.

We've had plenty of goalmouth action early in the second half, but it remains 1-1.

Dortmund's turn to threaten

Here come BVB as Couto finds Guirassy inside the Leipzig area, but the Dortmund striker's low shot is straight at Gulácsi. Frantic start to the second half at Signal Iduna Park.

Ouédraogo fires wide

More Leipzig pressure as Kobel is forced to parry Nusa's cross-shot into the path of Ouédraogo, who drags his effort wide. Moments later, Rômelu beats the BVB offside trap but takes a heavy touch, allowing Schlotterbeck to clear the ball behind for a corner, which comes to nothing.

Early second-half opportunity for Leipzig as Rômelu gets on the end of Baku's inswinging cross, but the forward's header sails narrowly over Kobel's goal.

Half-time: Dortmund 1-1 Leipzig

Leipzig may be slightly frustrated not to be ahead as the referee blows the half-time whistle. The visitors got their noses in front and have since had two goals disallowed, but Dortmund improved as the game went on and were pushing for a second goal towards the end of the first 45 minutes.

Anton blazes over

Schlotterbeck's free-kick is cleared only as far as Couto on the edge of the box. The wing-back's effort is also cleared, with Anton beating his marker to the loose ball but firing his shot high over the crossbar.
40'

Too much on it

Adeyemi chases after a long ball over the top of the Leipzig rearguard but it rolls behind for a goal-kick before the Dortmund forward can reach it.
37'

Break in play

Ouédraogo and Bensebaini need a spot of treatment after colliding with each other. Both players are back on their feet.
34'

Neck and neck

Little to choose between the two sides as we head into the latter stages of the first half. Leipzig have caused more problems in the final third, with Raum particularly lively, but Dortmund are defending well.

Goal disallowed

Raum is heavily involved yet again, feeding Rômulo with a perfectly weighted pass from deep. The summer signing beats Kobel with a calm finish, but the linesman's flag is up! Offside.

BVB level!

There's the response the BVB fans were hoping for. Beier's cross finds Guirassy, who holds the ball up well inside the area before teeing up Couto, who steers a low, let-footed shot into the corner to restore parity.

Couto penalised

Leipzig strike first!

Raum plays the free-kick short to Seiwald, who swings the ball deep into the Dortmund area. Ouédraogo manages to head it back across goal for Baumgartner, who finishes with aplomb from close range.

Another Dortmund win

BVB continued their impressive start to the season by beating Athletic Club 4-1 in the UEFA Champions League in midweek. Serhou Guirassy marked his return to the side with a goal and assist as the Black-Yellows extended their unbeaten run to eight competitive matches (W6, D2).

Ole Werner on facing Borussia Dortmund

"The fact that Dortmund are playing so effectively is a testament to the quality of the side. We want to try and prevent our opponents from getting towards our box too often. When we do find ourselves in that situation, we have to defend with that same level of quality in order to stop them from getting a shot away. We’re looking forward to the challenge. We have no intention of leaving Dortmund empty-handed."

Niko Kovač on facing Leipzig

“Leipzig have done a lot of things well in their last four games and won those matches. They are rightly in third place and you can see that the team is making progress. One advantage is certainly that they only play once a week.”

Past meetings

Dortmund have lost just three of nine previous home games against Leipzig, but two of those have come in their last four meetings at Signal Iduna Park. Overall, the Red Bulls have gotten the better of BVB in four of their last five battles, something the Black-Yellows will be desperate to change. Their most recent duel saw Leipzig win 2-0 at the Red Bull Arena in the 2024/25 campaign.

Full steam ahead

Both teams are unbeaten in their last four Bundesliga games, all of which have been wins. Dortmund have kept clean sheets in all of those four triumphs, while Leipzig managed a shut-out in three of them. BVB have also been the more prolific side so far, scoring 11 goals compared to Leipzig's seven.
