• Union Berlin win 4-1 at Darmstadt; Dortmund held 1-1 at Bochum
• Hoffenheim win 3-2 at Heidenheim after being 2-0 down

Borussia Dortmund stumbled to a 1-1 draw at Bochum in their mini-Ruhr valley derby, with the forward Donyell Malen’s second-half equaliser rescuing a point for last season’s Bundesliga runners-up.

Dortmund, who needed an 88th minute goal by the Dutch striker Malen to beat Cologne 1-0 in their league opener last week, were sluggish and toothless in attack for long stretches of the match.
