VIDEO: Borussia Dortmund 2-0 down in must-win Mainz clash

As things stand, Bayern Munich will lift their 11th consecutive Bundesliga title this weekend after Borussia Dortmund fumbled in agonising fashion.

Coming into Saturday's final game of the 2022/23 season, league leaders Dortmund were in the driving seat ahead of their home clash against Mainz.

Edin Terzic's side managed to forge a two-point gap over Bayern and many were confident they could secure all three points against their opponents, who are currently ninth in the Bundesliga standings.

But the away side would surprise everyone when they took the lead after just 15 minutes.

As you can see from the footage above, Norwegian defender Andreas Hanche-Olsen converted past goalkeeper Gregor Kobel with a sweeping header to make it 1-0.

Dortmund soon had the chance to equalise, when Raphaƫl Guerreiro was fouled in the area but Sebastien Haller, who has scored five goals in his last three games, failed to convert from 12 yards.

Then, in dramatic fashion, the Westfalenstadion fell silent when Dortmund conceded a second.

Kobel, who could have arguably saved Olsen's opener, failed to palm away a relatively tame header from Austria international Karim Onisiwo in the 24th minute.
