Match Reports
Dortmund thought they were ahead when Stefan Posch's clearance went in off Sancho, only for the referee to rule it out after consulting VAR.
Sancho did give Dortmund the lead in the 32nd minute, the teenager collecting a pass into the box from Lukasz Piszczek before finishing with a low, angled shot beyond goalkeeper Oliver Baumann.
Gotze doubled the hosts' advantage two minutes before half-time, pouncing on the rebound from a Sancho shot and guiding the ball into the unguarded net with Baumann stranded.
The third goal was the pick of the bunch, Gotze breaking down the right and exchanging passes with Sancho, whose sublime backheel paved the way for Guerreiro to sweep the ball home.
But Hoffenheim never allowed their heads to drop and Roman Burki made a brilliant fingertip save to deny Kaderabek's header, before Abdou Diallo failed to clear his lines and Belfodil bundled home after 75 minutes.
Kaderabek rose at the far post to loop a superb header over Burki and into the net eight minutes later, and the comeback was soon completed.
Belfodil beat a crowd of defenders to connect with Dennis Geiger's cross and head in an 87th-minute goal that saw Dortmund fail to capitalise on Borussia Monchengladbach's 3-0 loss at home to Hertha Berlin.
