Overview
- Julian Brandt scored in his 500th professional game (18', 51') to put Dortmund ahead twice, Haitam Aleesami (42') and Jens Petter Hauge (75') leveled for Bodø/Glimt, and Gregor Kobel made a late save to preserve a point.
- The draw leaves Dortmund on 11 points and outside the top-eight cutoff for direct last‑16 entry, placing added weight on January fixtures at Tottenham on January 20 and at home against Inter on January 28.
- Coach Niko Kovac rotated for load management, bringing in Ramy Bensebaini and Jobe Bellingham while leading scorer Serhou Guirassy started on the bench.
- Defender Waldemar Anton departed in the 33rd minute with a suspected thigh injury, and Aaron Anselmino later left hurt as well, creating fresh fitness concerns.
- Brandt’s second goal marked Dortmund’s 300th in the Champions League, and before kickoff the club named returning favorite Marco Reus as an official ambassador.
