Dortmund drops points in draw with Leipzig
Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig missed the chance to replace or join Bayern Munich at the Bundesliga summit after playing out a 1-1 draw at the Westfalenstadion.
Bayern later beat Eintracht Frankfurt to move four points clear of Dortmund after its second draw of the campaign.
Niko Kovac's team had to come from behind to seal a share of the spoils after Christoph Baumgartner put Leipzig into a seventh-minute lead from close range.
A long punt into the box was met by the head of Assan Ouedraogo, with the ball falling to Baumgartner, who swept beyond Gregor Kobel and into the bottom-left corner.
However, Dortmund restored parity in the 23rd minute through Yan Couto's first-time finish after the Brazilian was found in space by Serhou Guirassy inside the penalty area.
From there, chances were at a premium for both sides, with Guirassy's tame effort easily stopped by visiting goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi six minutes into the second-half action.
Julian Brandt had a glorious chance to snatch all three points two minutes from time, but he was unable to guide his header on target as the encounter finished all square.
