Hoffenheim v Dortmund
Dortmund rest Haaland but edge out Hoffenheim
Borussia Dortmund needed a second-half goal by substitute Marco Reus to beat Hoffenheim 1-0.
Reus and top scorer Erling Haaland started on the bench ahead of the trip to Lazio in the Champions League next week, and Dortmund were nowhere near their best and had to wait until late in the first half for their first opportunities.

They combined perfectly for Reus to tap in the winner 14 minutes from time.
