Borussia Dortmund escaped defeat at home to Hoffenheim, and drew with difficulty 2-2, after a match full of warnings on Saturday in the 21st round of the German Football League.
And at Signal Iduna Park, Jadon Sancho led to Dortmund in the 24th minute, but Hoffenheim responded with two goals through Moisse Dabour and Ilas Bebo in the 31st and 51st minutes.

Nine minutes before the end, the Norwegian sniper Erling Haaland scored the equalizer for Dortmund, when Hoffenheim defender Stefan Bosch went towards him and clashed with him with hands, so Haaland's teammates intervened to defend their teammate in a non-sports scene.
Fighting instead of celebrating after scoring the equaliser.
Bring me Haaland, @ChelseaFC.

This reflected the nervousness that dominated the players, prompting the referee to take out the yellow card 9 times, including 7 warnings for Hoffenheim players, whose performance was violent with Dortmund players who received only two warnings.
Moral da histĂłria: tenha amigos que te defendam como, eles defendem o Haaland.

The funny thing is that the referee did not put out any card despite the heated quarrel, and the exchange of payment without a ball between the Dortmund players and the attacking Hoffenheim defender first.
By winning one game in the last 6 confrontations, Dortmund remained in sixth place with 33 points, 3 points behind Bayer Leverkusen (fourth), who drew 2-2 at home to Mainz.
In contrast, Hoffenheim increased to 23 points in 12th place.
