Hertha BSC 1-1 Borussia Dortmund: Second-Half Comeback Spares BVB Blushes in Berlin

Borussia Dortmund staged an impressive comeback to rescue a point against Hertha BSC, with Shinji Kagawa's header cancelling out Davie Selke's early second-half goal.

However, Die Schwarzgelben remain winless this season without Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the squad, piling further misery onto Peter Stöger's side after they were booed off in their match against VfL Wolfsburg last week.

Both sides had a first half to forget. Kagawa saw Dortmund's only real effort fly harmlessly over the bar, with Hertha coming closest through Marvin Plattenhardt and Valentino Lazaro.

Jadon Sancho, who was one of Dortmund's brightest players throughout the game, wasted a golden chance to take a shot at goal late in the first half and Ömer Toprak's blocked effort rounded off the action for the opening 45 minutes.
