BERLIN, Feb. 26 -- Kevin Danso's late 1-1 equalizer helped Augsburg to snatch one point against Borussia Dortmund at the closer of the 24th round in Bundesliga on Monday.
Marco Reus' opener wasn't enough to secure all three points on home soil as Augsburg levelled the scores late in the second half to end their two-game losing streak.
After two straight defeats, Augsburg started highly motivated and aggressive into the encounter giving hosts no time to gain a foothold into the game.
However, Dortmund kept their calm and implemented their style of play to break the deadlock against the run of the game as Marco Reus finished off a counter attack via Mario Goetze and Andre Schuerrle from close rang with 16 minutes played.
Peter Stoeger's men controlled possession but lacked in ideas to extend their advantage meanwhile Augsburg barely posed threat to Dortmund's defence within the first half.
After the restart things changed as Augsburg came out with chances through Jonathan Schmid, who came close twice at the hour mark.
As the match progressed, Augsburg increased the pressure and rewarded their efforts in the closing period as Kevin Danso tapped home his own rebound from close range to restore parity in the 72nd minute.
The "BVB" threw everything up front but Augsburg were able to stand firm and to hijack one point from Dortmund.
"We defended very well except for one situation. We have previously pointed out their counter strength. I am very satisfied with the team's performance and the draw," Augsburg's head coach Manuel Baum said.
