Dortmund took advantage on their superior numbers and extended the lead to 3-1 as Goetze unleashed a well-placed right-footed shot in the dying minutes of the game.

However, the visitors pulled one back in the injury time when Dawid Kownacki overcame Marwin Hitz from inside the box. Dusseldorf pressed frenetically for the equalizer but Dortmund were able to protect their narrow lead to the end.

With the result, second placed Dortmund reduced the arrears to front-runners Bayern to two points. Dusseldorf slipped to the 11th place of the standings.

Leaders Bayern Munich were held to a goalless draw by Leipzig hence the title race decision has been postponed to the last round in Bundesliga on Saturday.

Leipzig, who already booked their berth for the Champions League, started highly motivated into the clash but still they failed to produce clear-cut opportunities against the German record champions.

As the match progressed, Bayern Munich assumed control and should have opened the scoring but Leipzig goalkeeper Peter Gualcsi denied German international Serge Gnabry twice from promising position.

The Bavarians almost scored the opener in the 51st minute but Leon Goretzka's goal was ruled offside.

Bayern posed more threat in the second half but yet Niko Kovac's men were unable to score the winner, which would have sealed the Bundesliga title ahead of schedule.

With the draw, leaders Bayern need only a draw in the last round to lift the title. Leipzig stay on the third position.
