Second-placed Borussia Dortmund twice surrendered a lead and looked like losing to a stoppage-time winner but it came back to score in the last minute and draw at Eintracht Frankfurt 3-3 in a thrilling Bundesliga clash.
The first league match of 2026 was a riveting advert for German football but both sides will rue their ability to hold a lead.
The draw left Dortmund in second place, eight points behind leader Bayern Munich and four above Bayer Leverkusen and Leipzig. All three have a game in hand.
Frankfurt missed a chance to move into fifth and remained in seventh spot, equal on points with Stuttgart.
The game started encouragingly for the visitor with Maximilian Beier side-footing home Julian Ryerson’s inviting cross from the right flank after 10 minutes.
But on a chilly night at Deutsche Bank Park, the home fans were warmed by their team’s reaction. Can Uzun equalized from the penalty spot after Serhou Guirassy was adjudged to have fouled Robin Koch.
