Match Report
Dortmund parted ways with coach Nuri Sahin on Wednesday, one day after their 2-1 Champions League loss to Bologna, appointing youth coach Tullberg for the game against Werder on Saturday.
In an eventful debut for the Dane, the hosts suffered an early setback when Felix Nmecha went off injured and things got worse when defender Nico Schlotterbeck was sent off with a red card in the 20th.
But Dortmund striker Serhou Guirassy headed in from close range in the 28th minute to put them in the driving seat.
The Guinea international also had a hand in their second goal when Werder's Marco Friedl turned his cutback into his own goal in the 51st.
The visitors, however, were given far too much space and pulled a goal back through Leonardo Bittencourt in the 65th.
Marvin Duksch completed the comeback with a good finish and Werder still had enough chances for a winner, with Dortmund desperately hanging on for the point.
Dortmund are in 10th place on 26 points, while Bremen are one point better off in eighth.
Data Debrief: Dortmund throw away two points
Dortmund may have snapped a four-game losing streak in all competitions, which proved the end for Sahin, but they are now winless in four in the Bundesliga – their joint-longest streak since December 2023.
BVB have now dropped 11 points from winning positions in the Bundesliga this term – only Wolfsburg and Bayer Leverkusen (both 13) have dropped more.
On the flipside, the nine points Bremen have salvaged from a losing position is the highest return in the Bundesliga this campaign.
