Borussia Dortmund stayed top of the Bundesliga table with a 0-0 draw against Hannover on Friday night, but missed a crucial chance to keep up the pressure on Bayern Munich in the title race by dropping two points in just their second game of the season.
The first half saw both sides trying to assert themselves in possession, but both defences did well to prevent the opposition attacks from creating too many chances. Max Philipp was isolated as the lone man up front for Dortmund, whereas Takuma Asano and Niclas Fullkrug for Hannover struggled to find space against a deep-lying Dortmund defence.
