On Saturday, December 16, Borussia Dortmund traveled to face Augsburg for the 15th round of the German Bundesliga. The teams couldn't determine a winner and ended in a 1:1 draw.

Both teams had an evenly contested first half, resulting in a predictable draw at the end of 45 minutes. In the middle of the half, Demirovic easily shook off Dortmund's defender Schlotterbeck and placed a precise shot into Kobel's bottom corner, putting the home team ahead. The yellow and black side equalized after 12 minutes: Malen restored parity after a splendid assist from Füllkrug.

During the second half, Borussia had the upper hand and came closer to snatching a victory. However, Malen, Bamba, and Füllkrug couldn't convert their chances. It's worth highlighting the outstanding performance of the home team's goalkeeper, Dahmen. The game ended in a 1:1 draw, marking the third consecutive round without a win for Terzic's team.

Borussia accrued 26 points and remains in fifth place. The yellow-blacks trail the Champions League Zone by three points. This deficit might expand if Leipzig secures points in today's match against Hoffenheim. Augsburg sits in tenth position. In the next round, the Augsburg side will host Mainz, while Augsburg will visit Stuttgart.
