05/30 Paderborn vs Borussia Dortmund

Dortmund will end the May fixtures with a rematch against Paderborn who they will surely want to produce a better performance against. The first game against Paderborn Dortmund had one of their worst 45 minutes and then one of their best 45 minutes in the same game.

Falling behind to a 3-0 lead at half time in a dismal dismay, they were able to turn it around in the second half clawing back to a 3-3 draw with a 93rd minute equalizer from Marco Reus.
