The draw ended Dortmund's perfect start to the campaign; it was the first game this season in which Niko Kovac's side failed to take all three points after winning their previous four matches.

For long periods the hosts struggled to break down Bremen's defensive block despite creating promising chances, but the match exploded into life in the final ten minutes as momentum swung decisively in favour of the visitors.

The result leaves Dortmund with a blemish on an otherwise strong start, while Bremen will take heart from a dramatic comeback that rescued an unlikely point at one of Germany's most difficult venues.
