FC Ingolstadt 04 3 - 3 Borussia Dortmund: Borussia Dortmund come from two goals down to snatch point at Ingolstadt
Posted Sunday, October 23, 2016 by PA
Borussia Dortmund recovered from 2-0 and 3-1 down to snatch a 3-3 draw at Ingolstadt and deny their hosts a first win of the season.
Almog Cohen and Dario Lezcano gave the hosts what seemed to be a comfortable lead, but Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang gave the visitors hope.
Lezcano's second restored the hosts' two-goal advantage before goals from Adrian Ramos and Christian Pulisic earned the visitors a point.
The hosts made an ideal start to the game with Cohen putting them in front after just five minutes, turning in Markus Suttner's cross from close range.
An overhead kick from Lukas Hinterseer tested Roman Weidenfeller - one of five changes in the Dortmund team compared to their midweek Champions League win in Lisbon - who responded well.
The hosts deservedly doubled their head midway through the first half with Suttner again the provider, this time with a free-kick from the right which was met by Lezcano's head from 10 yards out.
A reaction from Dortmund was to be expected and it came with some intense attacking football from Thomas Tuchel's troops.
It led to Aubameyang bringing them back into the game on the hour mark with a header from Ousmane Dembele's cross.
Ingolstadt restored their two-goal lead immediately, however, with Lezcano turning in Florent Hadergjonaj's cross.
Adrian Ramos brought Dortmund back to within a goal with 20 minutes remaining, setting up a grandstand finish.
Mario Gotze wasted a one-on-one chance as it seemed like Dortmund's efforts were not going to pay off, but they did in the first minute of stoppage time when Christian Pulisic brought them level and earned them a point.
