Deniz Undav scored a hat-trick, including a last-gasp equalizer, as VfB Stuttgart drew 3-3 with Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga on Saturday.
Undav scored from just inside the penalty area for the second-half equalizer after Dortmund’s players thought they had won when substitute Karim Adeyemi put them ahead in the 89th.
Dortmund, who host Villarreal in the Champions League on Tuesday, created a two-goal cushion in the first half after struggling at times against the visitors.
Emre Can converted a 34th-minute penalty before Maximilian Beier beat Stuttgart keeper Alexander Nuebel from close range seven minutes later to double the lead.

But Stuttgart quickly worked their way back into the match, with German striker Undav reducing the deficit two minutes after the restart.
Dortmund had Serhou Guirassy’s effort ruled offside moments later and then hit the crossbar before Undav fired in from close range after a corner to level the score.
There was late drama for both sides as Dortmund took the lead again with substitute Adeyemi’s goal a minute from time before Undav spoiled the celebrations for the home fans with his third goal of the afternoon.
Dortmund are in third place with 22 points, one behind Bayer Leverkusen, who are in second place. Bayern Munich top at 31.
