DORTMUND, Germany – Borussia Dortmund missed a penalty but scored three goals in 11 minutes late in the second half to race back from 2-0 down and snatch a 3-2 victory over visitors Hamburg SV on March 21.
The hosts, in second place on 61 points, stayed nine behind Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich with seven matches remaining.
Dortmund found themselves 2-0 down in the first half, with Hamburg taking a 19th-minute lead through Philip Otele’s tap-in and Albert Sambi Lokongo doubling it in the 38th.
The hosts missed a chance to cut the deficit before the break when Felix Nmecha sent a stoppage-time penalty wide but they got a second chance with a 73rd-minute penalty. Ramy Bensebaini did it better to pull a goal back before substitute Serhou Guirassy stabbed in from close range to level six minutes later.
The hosts were then awarded a third penalty and Bensebaini scored from the spot once more in the 84th minute to complete their late comeback. REUTERS
