Watch: Can: "After three defeats, this win feels amazing"

Full-time: Dortmund 2-1 Leipzig

The home side inflict Leipzig's first defeat of the season with a superb display in front of their fans. In spite of their injury list, Dortmund reacted to a disappointing loss last weekend with a confident performance and a win. Leipzig offered little throughout the game and can't have many complaints over the result, but Dortmund still had to capitalise on this.

So close to a third!

A brilliant cross from Bensebaini finds Brandt a matter of yards out from goal; he hits his volley first-time, hitting Gulácsi from point blank range rather than the back of the net. Huge chance.

Goal probability

Goal probability determines the likelihood that the ball will land in the goal from every position on the pitch. The value is based on large amounts of data from previous years; factors such as shot angle, distance to goal and opponent pressure - as well as mathematical models.

14 %

Distance to Goal

The distance to goal is measured at the time of the shot - from the position of the ball to the center of the goal.

Chance on the break

Meyer finds Guirassy after a Leipzig attack breaks down. With two defenders on him, he gets a shot away, but it doesn't test the 'keeper.

Schlotterbeck goes close

The centre-back has his effort from close range saved after the ball fell to him from a Groß corner.

Gittens causing problems

Gittens' direct running has caused Leipzig problems all game. He is beating his man consistently whilst also always looking to run in behind.

All square

It's still even on the scoreboard and on the tackle count too, with both sides trying to assert their dominance in this second half.

Too soft

Guirassy appeals for a penalty after being dispossessed just a few yards from goal, but the referee rightly waves away his appeal.

Free-kick

Guirassy wins a free-kick on the edge of the area. Brandt aims for the top corner, but hits the wall.

Half-time

Half-time: Dortmund 1-1 Leipzig

The home side have looked assured in the first half, controlling possession and creating good scoring opportunities. They reacted well to going behind with an instant equaliser, and maintained their rhythm after that goal. Leipzig haven't got going at all, even after their goal. They'll need a big improvement in the second half.

Important challenge

With Openda racing away down the left, Schlotterbeck comes across and gets a strong tackle in, averting the danger in the process.

Wild from the captain

A Dortmund corner is cleared into the path of Can, who misses the ball the first time around before shooting toward the corner flag with his second attempt.

Goal! Leipzig take the lead!

In a rare foray into the Dortmund final third, Šeško finishes emphatically to give his side the lead against the run of play. A clever backheel from Openda by the byline found the Slovenian striker in space by the near post, where he smashed the ball into Meyer's net.

Leipzig yet to get going

A free-kick from Henrichs floats over everyone and out for a throw-in, epitomising his side's lacklustre start to the game.

Another opportunity!

Brandt finds himself charging toward goal with acres of space ahead of him, before squaring to Gittens who fires his effort straight at Gulácsi.

Slow start

Aside from Beier's chance, it's been a quiet start from both sides. Dortmund have had the majority of the ball and Leipzig have been happy to let them have it.

Great chance!

Gittens cuts in onto his right foot and floats a cross towards Beier, whose header goes wide from a great position inside the box.

Stop the rot

Dortmund lost all three of their meetings with Leipzig last season, so today provides the opportunity to simultaneously put an end to that run and get back to winning ways.

Home advantage

Despite their injury issues, Dortmund will be happy to be back at home after a defeat on the road to Augsburg.

Back on the road

After a home win last time out against Freiburg, Leipzig now visit Dortmund looking for another three points.

Widening gap

Seven points and six places separate the two sides at this point in the season, with Dortmund's underwhelming start to the season giving them plenty of work to do if they're to catch up to Leipzig.

Going strong

Leipzig arrive hoping to keep their unbeaten record intact.

Home turf

The home side arrive ahead of a huge clash.

Injuries piling up

Dortmund's changes are mainly a result of injuries, with it looking like Emre Can will play at centre-back with Pacal Groß filling in at right-back, a position he covered while at Brighton on occasion. First-choice goalkeeper Gregor Kobel is also out, while Maximilian Beier starts for the third time in the league.

More on those teams

Leipzig make two changes from their win on the previous Matchday against Freiburg, with Vermeeren and Klostermann coming in for Kampl and Lukeba. Dortmund make four changes with Meyer, Can, Groß and Beier coming in for Kobel, Anton, Ryerson and Malen.

Şahin on THAT injury-list

“Ten injuries is quite a number, I've never seen that before. But we'll get out of it, things will turn around. We'll stick to our guns and not try to hide behind excuses. That would be too easy."

Nuri Şahin on "difficult situation"

“It's a difficult situation, we don't have to beat around the bush. With the defeats, the cup exit and the injury list, it's extremely bitter. We'll still have a good team on the pitch. We need the stadium tomorrow more than ever. I'm sure the stadium will have a feel for our situation, we want to continue our home streak."

Rose on other injuries

There was good news emerging from Rose's press conference in the form of Péter Gulácsi, Assan Ouédraogo and Nicolas Seiwald all returning to first team training. All three are now available in varying capacities.

Marco Rose hopeful on Openda

Loïs Openda was missing in action against St. Pauli in the DFB Cup this week after picking up a medial ligament injury, but coach Marco Rose isn't ruling the striker out of the trip to Dortmund just yet. "With Loïs, we have to see how he reacts in training today," Rose told media on Friday morning. "We're still hopeful. If he gets on the plane, he'll be in the squad. Then he might even play from the start."
