Overview
- Borussia Dortmund drew 1-1 at Hamburger SV after leading through Carney Chukwuemeka in the 64th minute and conceding to Ransford Königsdörffer in the 97th minute.
- Goalkeeper Gregor Kobel and right-back Julian Ryerson clashed in the tunnel over the late goal before coach Niko Kovac intervened to calm the situation.
- Sporting director Sebastian Kehl voiced rare public anger, saying he was "really angry" about the dropped points.
- Media and internal voices questioned Kovac's late-game approach, noting he turned to Felix Nmecha, Marcel Sabitzer and Aaron Anselmino rather than adding Julian Brandt or Fábio Silva after taking the lead.
- The setback continues a pattern of late concessions and subdued displays, with recent heavy defeats to Bayern and Manchester City and form dips for key players such as Karim Adeyemi, Sabitzer and Serhou Guirassy.
