Huge three points!
And breathe! A thrilling encounter ends in dramatic fashion as Dortmund complete the comeback to triumph. Just like versus Augsburg, Reyna is the hero, and Terzic's side are now just five points behind Bundesliga leaders Bayern. The late goal is a bitter blow for Mainz, but Svensson will be happy with how his side battled throughout the 90 minutes.

Dortmund strike at the death!!
Incredible!!!! Dortmund surely have the winner with less than 90 seconds on the clock. A corner is flicked on by Haller, and Giovanni Reyna is waiting at the back post to poke home!

Last-chance saloon!
None of Dortmund's eight previous away games in the Bundesliga this season have ended in a draw - will either side extend that run in stoppage time?

What a chance!
Almost a winner for Mainz! The hosts break on the counter and Ajorque plays Anton Stach in. However, he can only drag his shot wide.

Mainz hungry for more
'Die Nullfünfer' aren't happy with a point here, and are making sure Dortmund need to stay concentrated.

A couple of opportunities for Adeyemi in quick succession! First, he drags a shot wide, before volleying over the bar.

Good effort
A half-chance for Karim Onisiwo, but the forward can't quite steer his first-time shot on target from an admittedly difficult position.

All square at the break
The match burst into life, as Lee opened the scoring and Ryerson equalised in the first five minutes! It has settled down since then, with 'Die Schwarzgelben' enjoying plenty of possession and Mainz looking to provide danger on the counterattack. All the play for!

Moukoko on the periphery
Besides his early opportunity, Moukoko has been quiet. Dortmund will be looking to get him involved as quickly as possible.

Mainz shot
The ball breaks to Leandro Barreiro outside the Dortmund area, but the Luxembourg international doesn't quite catch it right and his shot flashes wide of the post

Mainz improving
The hosts have managed to get a bit more of a foothold in the game in the last few minutes and have been able to mount a couple of attacks. No clear-cut chances as of yet, though.

Moukoko and Süle go close!
Youssoufa Moukoko is played in, but Dahmen saves his shot well. Then, the Mainz goalkeeper is equal to Süle's effort from outside the area.

Dortmund respond immediately!
Wow, what a start!! Almost straight away, and Dortmund are back on level terms through Julian Ryerson. The right-back cuts onto his left foot and his shot, via a Fernandes deflection, leaves Finn Dahmen with no chance - that was the Norwegian's first strike for the club!
