It was end-to-end stuff for much of matchday 25's Saturday night game in the Bundesliga between RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund, but there was nothing to separate the sides after 90 minutes, as 42,558 fans in the sold-out Red Bull Arena witnessed a deserved 1-1 draw.
The match began at lightning pace under the floodlights in Leipzig, and there could have been several goals in the opening half hour if not for the two goalkeepers and - notably in BVB's case - the offside flag. There was just the one goal in the end though, as Jean-Kévin Augustin managed to beat Dortmund's offside trap from Naby Keïta's through ball and curl the ball past Roman Bürki to open the scoring on 29 minutes. That goal spurred the visitors on to net a legitimate one of their own, however, and Marco Reus levelled for Borussia just nine minutes later.
The second half had a similar look about it, with both sides exchanging quick passes and looking to get forward, but the defences were on top after the break, resulting in a lack of clear chances. RBL seemed to have more energy about them than BVB as we entered the closing stages of the match, and substitute Bruma almost found the top corner late on, but the 1-1 was ultimately a fair result and sees Ralph Hasenhüttl's side end their run of defeats. The point means Leipzig remain sixth in the Bundesliga table.
