Seven minutes after Anton restored the lead, Julian Brandt added another in the 74th minute to stretch Borussia Dortmund's advantage to two goals at 1-3. With time running down, the visitors appeared to be closing in on an opening-day win. That two-goal cushion, however, would not hold.
86' Danel Sinani (FC St. Pauli) 2-3
Two goals down at 1-3, FC St. Pauli pulled one back in the 86th minute through Danel Sinani. The goal cut the deficit to 2-3 and set up a tense finish, with the equaliser arriving just three minutes later.

Just three minutes after Sinani's goal, Eric Smith struck in the 89th minute to make it 3-3. FC St. Pauli, once two goals behind, used two late goals in quick succession to rescue a draw on the opening matchday at home. For Borussia Dortmund, it meant letting a 1-3 lead slip away.
