Sebastian Haller should have equalized but missed a penalty four minutes later as Karim Onisiwo made it 2-0 almost quarter of an hour played. 

The second half was better for Dortmund Raphael Guerreiro pulled one back for the home side with nearly 20 minutes left to play. 

The comeback was complete as Niklas Sule scored in the sixth minute of injury time but it was too little too late for the Canneries as they were level on points with Bayern who won the league on a head-to-head rule.
