Hoffenheim 1-1 Dortmund: Visitors held as Aubameyang strikes again

Hoffenheim 1-1 Dortmund: Visitors held as Aubameyang strikes again
Thomas Tuchel's men lose pace with champions Bayern at the summit of the Bundesliga after being held to a draw away from home against the strugglers on Wednesday

Hoffenheim recorded just their second point of the season against Dortmund, who were forced to come from behind after an under-par performance at the Rhein-Neckar Arena.
The hosts took the lead just three minutes before the break after Eduardo Vargas delivered  a perfectly weighted pass to the feet of Sebastian Rudy, who outmuscled Marcel Schmelzer before finding the bottom corner.

10 minutes into the second period and the visitors were level as Mats Hummels’ cross was superbly chested down by Gonzalo Castro to the feet of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to stab home his seventh goal of the season.

Wednesday's result means Tuchel's men remain second in the table with 16 points from six games, trailing leaders Bayern Munich by two points, while Hoffenheim remain winless.
