Borussia Dortmund squandered their chance to go third in the Bundesliga when Mats Hummels scored an 89th-minute own goal to hand Hoffenheim a 1-1 draw yesterday.

Paraguayan Nelson Valdez headed Dortmund ahead in the 57th minute and the hosts looked to be cruising to victory until Hummels tried to intercept a Carlos Eduardo cross for striker Vedad Ibisevic but ended up putting the ball into his own net.

Dortmund are fifth on 53 points.

Bayern Munich maintained their two-point lead with a 7-0 demolition of Hanover 96 on Saturday while second-placed Schalke 04 stayed hot on their heels with a 3-1 win over B. M'gladbach.
