'It hurts': Dortmund collapse late in draw with St. Pauli

Borussia Dortmund gave away a two-goal lead with five minutes remaining to collapse to a 3-3 draw at St. Pauli, losing debutant centre-back Filippo Mane to a red card.

In the box seat for an opening-day win at 3-1 after goals from Serhou Guirassy, Waldemar Anton and Julian Brandt, Mane gave away a penalty and was sent off in the 85th minute for holding Abdoulie Ceesay in the box.

After Daniel Sinani converted from the spot, St Pauli went immediately on the attack and levelled things up just three minutes later, Eric Smith drilling a long-range effort into the top corner.

With 10 minutes of stoppage time awarded, the hosts looked the most likely to score, but Dortmund just held on, for a point.

"Last year we dropped a lot of points at the end due to red cards. It seems we've carried that into the new season," Brandt told Sky.

"It hurts. At some point, you have to stop explaining it to people afterwards and learn how to play with a man down in the important moments."

A first-half penalty miss from Guirassy with Dortmund a goal up also proved costly as Dortmund dropped points in a season opener for the first time in a decade.

Mane will miss Dortmund's next match and his absence is likely to hurt a side that has only one fit centre-back remaining in their squad.
