Borussia Dortmund 3 - 3 Paderborn
The Bundesliga returned this Friday after the obligatory international break in November, and in this case, Borussia Dortmund returned to competition before facing FC Barcelona at Camp Nou on Wednesday. The team from Rhineland welcomed Paderborn, an unbeatable opportunity to recover from the defeat against Bayern Munich and regain victory before their decisive match against the Catalan team in Europe.
However, football is full of surprises and the returns from FIFA breaks are quite prone to them. Because the modest Paderborn surprised the hosts with two goals in the 5th and 37th minute, both scored by the surprising Streli Mamba. Two goals that left Lucien Favre's team knocked out and silenced the Signal Iduna Park. Especially when in the 43rd minute Gerritt Holtmann scored the third goal, although Jadon Sancho reduced the distance in the 47th minute.
In the second half, the Rhineland team threw themselves into the search for the second goal, which came in the 84th minute through Axel Witsel, to bring excitement to the final minutes. And finally, the equalizer arrived with Marco Reus' goal in the 94th minute, at least rescuing a point for a Borussia Dortmund that will arrive at Camp Nou with doubts, but have shown to be a dangerous opponent.
