Borussia Dortmund did what Borussia Dortmund does best: made their fans age five years in 90 minutes. The club overcame a 2-0 deficit to claim a 3-2 victory in the Bundesliga, with an own goal playing a role in one of the more dramatic reversals of the season.
The comeback unfolds
The match looked all but over when Dortmund found themselves staring at a two-goal deficit. But Dortmund shifted gears, finding three unanswered goals to flip the result entirely. An own goal from the opposition proved to be a critical turning point, injecting life into what had been a flat performance from the hosts.
A pattern, not an anomaly
Earlier in the current campaign, Dortmund secured a 2-2 draw against RB Leipzig thanks to an opponent’s own goal. A 3-2 comeback win against Eintracht Frankfurt earlier this year followed a similar script.
