Dortmund draw and Leipzig lose as Leverkusen thrash Heidenheim

Dortmund were held to a 1-1 draw at Hamburg on Saturday, with the hosts scoring an equaliser through Ransford-Yeboah Konigsdorffer in the seventh minute of added time.

Outclassed 4-1 by Manchester City in the Champions League midweek, Dortmund were solid but unspectacular in a game with few chances, with English midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka scoring in the second half.

Konigsdorffer denied Dortmund victory at the death as he headed in a cross to prevent Niko Kovac's side from climbing to second and closing the gap on leaders Bayern.

RB Leipzig also stumbled, dropping points for just the third time this season in a 3-1 loss at Hoffenheim.

Teenage forward Yan Diomande put Leipzig in front nine minutes in, scoring for the third straight game.

Hoffenheim hit back on 20 minutes with Albian Hajdari tapping in. The hosts took the lead just before half-time when Tim Lemperle headed in their second.

Leipzig's hopes of a late equaliser were quashed when Grischa Proemel scored with 11 minutes remaining.

Bayer Leverkusen romped to their biggest win of the season with a 6-0 thrashing of Heidenheim at home to climb to fourth.

Patrik Schick and Ibrahim Maza scored twice while Jonas Hofmann and Ernest Poko also grabbed goals.
