"Borussia Dortmund missed the chance to climb back into the top eight of the Champions League table as they were held to a 2-2 draw by Bodo/Glimt at Signal Iduna Park. BVB had dropped out of the automatic last-16 places with results on Tuesday but could have climbed as high as third with a victory of their own. They were frustrated by Bodo, however, as the visitors refused to be beaten despite twice trailing to Julian Brandt goals."
"Brandt opened the scoring after 18 minutes with a clinical finish following a Dortmund breakaway, but Bodo were level before half-time when Haitam Aleesami nodded in. It took Brandt only six minutes of the second half to restore Dortmund's lead from close range after Maximilian Beier's header was saved but not cleared. Yet Bodo did not fold and earned a hard-fought point when the ball fell kindly for Jens Petter Hauge to sweep in a second equaliser 15 minutes from time."
Borussia Dortmund were held to a 2-2 draw by Bodo/Glimt at Signal Iduna Park and missed the opportunity to move back into the Champions League top eight. Julian Brandt scored twice, opening after 18 minutes and restoring the lead six minutes into the second half following a saved Maximilian Beier header. Bodo/Glimt equalised before half-time through Haitam Aleesami and secured a late equaliser when Jens Petter Hauge swept in 15 minutes from time. Bodo remain without a win in nine European matches, the worst run in their history, but secured a valuable away point despite Dortmund's 2.89 xG underperformance.
