Leverkusen's Late Leveler Prolongs Unbeaten Streak at Dortmund

In a pulsating Bundesliga encounter on Sunday, newly-crowned champions Bayer Leverkusen demonstrated their championship mettle by salvaging a dramatic 1-1 draw against Borussia Dortmund in the dying moments at Signal Iduna Park. Dortmund appeared set to inflict Leverkusen’s first defeat of the season when Niclas Fullkrug volleyed them ahead in the 81st minute. The German striker met Marcel Sabitzer’s deft pass with a crisp left-footed strike that flew past the despairing dive of Lukas Hradecky.
