Hannover, Germany – Borussia Dortmund fell nine points back of leaders Bayern Munich on Sunday as a late goal from Hannover's Mame Biram Diouf forced the club to settle for a 1-1 draw.
Dortmund grabbed the lead midway through the first half when Lukasz Piszczek crossed the ball into the area for Robert Lewandowski, who slotted it home from four yards out.
Hannover pressed for the equalizer and Mats Hummels needed to clear a ball off the goal line from Jan Schlaudraff's shot to keep Dortmund in front, while Diouf spurned a great chance 12 minutes from time when he shot straight at goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller with the net at his mercy.
But the former Manchester United man atoned for the miss four minutes from time as a bicycle kick attempt from Didier Ya Konan fell to Diouf, who scored from six yards.
