Bayer LeverkusenWaldemar Anton emerged as Borussia Dortmund’s hero, delivering a stoppage-time winner to clinch a 3-2 victory over TSG Hoffenheim. This result marks Dortmund’s fifth consecutive away triumph against Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga — and crucially, it keeps their top-four ambitions burning brightly.
Early Drama: Guirassy Strikes First
In red-hot form with four goals from his previous two outings, Serhou Guirassy wasted no time making an impact. Although his initial effort was chalked off for offside, VAR intervention confirmed both Guirassy and Daniel Svensson were onside, allowing Dortmund’s travelling fans to celebrate the early breakthrough.
Missed Opportunities and Resilient Goalkeeping
Guirassy’s evening wasn’t without frustration. After a clumsy challenge from Leo Ostigard gifted Dortmund a penalty, Oliver Baumann showcased his penalty-saving prowess once again — diving low to deny Guirassy and recording his 16th career Bundesliga penalty stop. That save seemed to galvanize Hoffenheim, who thought they had equalized before halftime through Anton Stach — only for the assistant’s flag to spoil their celebrations.
