Newly-promoted SV Darmstadt 98 scored a stoppage-time equaliser to earn a point at Borussia Dortmund in their Bundesliga clash this afternoon.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan was first to threaten in the seventh minute, but his long-range effort went narrowly wide of the left post before Marco Reus shot over the bar four minutes later.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang twice had chances to equalise but he could not hit the target from close range, and headed over the bar a minute later.
Julian Weigl then forced Christian Mathenia into a save when his shot from the edge of the area was heading towards the bottom-left corner as Darmstadt held out until the break.

Mkhitaryan then had a shot blocked but it was Aubameyang who notched his second shortly after to give Dortmund the lead.
This time, the Gabon international directed the ball into the top-right corner from Adnan Januzaj's assist.
Aubameyang nearly grabbed his hat-trick with six minutes remaining, but headed wide from Mkhitaryan's cross.
With the points looking to be going to Dortmund, Darmstadt grabbed a surprise equaliser in stoppage time. Aytac Sulu was first to a free kick into the area and volleyed into the bottom-left corner.
