Borussia Dortmund remain bottom of the Bundesliga after a 0-0 draw away at Bayer Leverkusen this evening.
In a game of few chances, the visitors will perhaps be the happier side as they held their rivals in a stalemate to earn just their fifth away point of the season.
Roberto Hilbert sent an effort towards goal inside the opening two minutes for the hosts, but Roman Weidenfeller held on comfortably.
Marcel Schmelzer then tried his luck from range, but the left-back's shot was straight at Leverkusen stopper Bernd Leno.
The best chance of the half fell to Gonzalo Castro six minutes before the break, but the midfielder's effort was blocked at close range.
In the second half, Dortmund showed more ambition as they pressed higher up the pitch and started to create chances.
Their best chance fell to Ciro Immobile, who latched onto the end of a closed down Leverkusen clearance in the penalty box, but he decided to shoot instead of pass from a tight angle and the keeper beat the ball away.
Castro remained Leverkusen's most dangerous player and he wasted a glorious opportunity when he lofted the ball over the bar with just the keeper to beat.
Nuri Sahin almost scored an eye-catching late winner for the struggling visitors when he connected well with a long-range volley that flashed just past the post.
