Match Reports
Dortmund had hoped to close the gap with league leaders RB Leipzig, but were sloppy throughout the clash and are now three points off the top spot.
Axel Witsel was on hand to bury a chance from close range following sloppy defending from the hosts to open the scoring on 11 minutes.
But Frankfurt had hit back just moments before the half-time interval. Following a pinpoint delivery from Djibril Sow, AC Milan loanee Andre Silva dispatched a powerful strike into the top right-hand corner beyond the rooted Roman Burki.
Sancho then restored Dortmund's lead. Raphael Guerreiro's free-kick was parried back out by Frankfurt stopper Kevin Trapp into the penalty area, and Witsel demonstrated quick thinking to tee up the waiting Sancho at the far post.
The hosts would salvage a point late on, however. Substitute Daichi Kamada looked to drill an inviting ball in across the face of goal, only for Delaney to inadvertently finish beyond his own goalkeeper.
