Borussia Dortmund 3-2 HamburgGoals: 0-1 Otele 19' (assist: Mikelbrencis), 0-2 Sambi Lokonga 38' (assist: Vieira), 1-2 Bensebaini (pen.) 73', 2-2 Guirassy 78', 3-2 Bensebaini (pen.) 84'

Dortmund entered the match in imperious form, having lost just twice all season - both defeats coming against Bayern Munich - and already surpassing their points total from the previous campaign. The hosts were unbeaten against any team other than Bayern for over a year, making them strong favourites against a Hamburg side battling for Bundesliga survival.

Julian Ryerson had been in scintillating form with 12 assists for the season, while teenage defender Luca Reggiani was making his mark after scoring recently against Augsburg. Niko Kovač opted to field an unchanged lineup from Dortmund's 2-0 victory over Augsburg - the first time this season BVB had named the same starting eleven in consecutive matches.
