Borussia Dortmund are held to a 1-1 draw by Nuremberg and lose their 100% start to the Bundesliga season.

Borussia Dortmund have dropped their first points of the Bundesliga season with a 1-1 draw away to Nuremberg.

It was a bright start from the visitors, who were passing well, and they nearly went ahead after just six minutes. Marco Reus rounded Raphael Schafer but Emanuel Pogatetz was there to hack off the line.

The hosts regrouped and came even closer to opening the scoring when Mike Frantz saw his looping header beat Roman Weidenfeller but come back off the bar.

It was the visitors who took the lead with just over five minutes left in the half, and it came from quite an unlikely source.

Marcel Schmelzer, who had not scored for almost two years, curled a delightful free kick into the top corner to send his side 1-0 up at the break.

Nuremberg refused to lie down and right at the start of the second period were level. Per Nilsson reacted quicker than the Dortmund defence to a Hiroshi Kiyotake free kick and nodded home the equaliser.

Young striker Marvin Ducksch had a glorious chance to score on his first Bundesliga start, but Schafer came out on top in the one-on-one and the defence managed to clear.

Robert Lewandowski came on to try to change things, but Nuremberg held on for a point.
