"Leipzig took the lead in the 20th minute when Yan Diomande turned Julian Ryerson inside out, and delivered a low cross for an unmarked Baumgartner to flick home with the outside of his boot. Baumgartner added a second in similar fashion before half-time, again guiding a low cross from the left - this time from David Raum - past Gregor Kobel."
"Niko Kovac sent Julian Brandt, Silva and Karim Adeyemi on as he tried to get his side back in the game, and the trio combined to the desired effect in stoppage time, with Adeyemi setting up Silva for a dramatic leveller. Dortmund should have won it in the 98th minute when Brandt sprung the offside trap and fired straight at Maarten Vandevoordt, rather than squaring to Adeyemi."
"Baumgartner put Leipzig in a commanding position, but they were unable to see out what would have been a second straight Bundesliga win for the first time since a run of three across October and November. They have now lost 18 points from winning positions this season - only Wolfsburg (23) have let more slip through their fingers. Dortmund, meanwhile, held onto an unbeaten streak that now stands at 16 games, which is their best run since 2023."
Christoph Baumgartner's first-half double put RB Leipzig ahead with two low cross finishes from the left. Borussia Dortmund trailed by two at halftime but reduced the deficit early in the second half when Ramy Bensebaini's flick-on deflected off Romulo for an own-goal. Substitute Fabio Silva nodded a stoppage-time equaliser after Julian Brandt, Silva and Karim Adeyemi combined, with Adeyemi providing the late assist. Dortmund maintained a 16-game unbeaten run and remained eight points behind Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich. Leipzig have now dropped 18 points from winning positions this season, one of the highest totals in the league.
