Borussia Dortmund were beaten 2-1 by Fortuna Dusseldorf in their second pre-season game of the summer on Saturday as the hosts overturned an early goal from Mathis Albert.
Having beaten RW Oberhausen in their opening clash, the Black and Yellow were seemingly on their way towards another win as Albert fired them in front after 17 minutes.
Fabian Schleusener equalized for the hosts in the 49th minute while substitute Anas Slimani made it 2-1 for the Fortunen with only 11 minutes of normal time remaining.
The Black and Yellow huffed and puffed in search of an equalizer but it never came as their rehearsal for the Japan tour ended in a shock loss.
