Half-Time Report: Dortmund's perfect start under threat as Hoffenheim score late in first half

Sebastian Rudy scored late in the first half for Hoffenheim as Borussia Dortmund are in danger of losing their 100% Bundesliga record this season.

Hoffenheim began the game in attacking fashion as Kevin Volland tested Roman Burki from 25 yards.

Marco Reus had a chance to open the scoring immediately afterwards for Dortmund but failed to control a ball sent over the top of the Hoffenheim defence.

Midway through the half Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang went close for Thomas Tuchel's side as he almost diverted a Marcel Schmelzer cross into the net.

Aubameyang again threatened to break the deadlock 10 minutes later, sending a looping header just over the crossbar with Hoffenheim keeper Oliver Baumann stranded.

However, it was Rudy who opened the scoring, latching on to a through-ball from Eduardo Vargas before outpacing Schmelzer and firing past Burki from the right-hand side of the penalty area.
