Brandt's Double Not Enough as Dortmund Stumbles at Signal Iduna Park
Brandt scores twice but Dortmund still draw at home

Match snapshot

Dortmund stumble at home as Bodø/Glimt earn a 2-2 draw at Signal Iduna Park in the UEFA Champions League group stage.

The German side squandered a likely victory, as the two teams shared the spoils in the sixth round of the group.

Brandt struck twice for Dortmund in the 18th and 51st minutes, while Bodø/Glimt answered through Haitham Alsami in the 42nd and Haauge in the 75th.

The result marked Dortmund's second draw of the campaign, leaving them on 11 points in 10th place, while Bodø/Glimt have three points from three draws and sit near the bottom.

Dortmund started brightly when Brandt finished a precise Fabio Silva pass in the 18th minute, but the visitors levelled just before halftime through Alsami.

Early in the second half Brandt restored Dortmund's lead in the 51st minute after a pass from Maximilian Baier, yet Haauge equalized again in the 75th.

Punchline 1: If Dortmund's defense keeps leaking like that, they’ll need a mortgage to fix it.

Punchline 2: Bodø/Glimt must be wondering if they accidentally walked into the group stage of a rousing draw-a-thon.
