"Gregor Kobel hailed Borussia Dortmund's fighting spirit after they came from behind to earn a last-gasp draw with RB Leipzig. Christoph Baumgartner scored twice in the first half to put Leipzig in control, but a Romulo own goal cut their lead early in the second half. Dortmund then salvaged a point, with Fabio Silva striking in the 95th minute to complete the comeback, though they have lost ground on Bayern Munich, who now hold an eight-point lead at the top of the Bundesliga."
"Dortmund finished the match with 11 shots worth 1.6 expected goals (xG), while having 25 touches in the opposition box, all fewer than Leipzig. Their hosts, who have now dropped 18 points from winning positions this season, fired 13 attempts worth 1.9 xG on Kobel's goal, though only managed to get three on target, with none of those coming in the second half."
