BORUSSIA DORTMUND SECURED top-spot in their UEFA Champions League group in mid-week, but their domestic woes continued against Hertha Berlin.
Suffered a 1-0 defeat was bad enough but the winning goal was scored by their former player Julian Schieber.
Schieber, who spent two years at Signal Iduna Park before joining Hertha in the close-season, came back to haunt his former club as he danced around the Dortmund defence before slotting a powerful finish high into the net.
Although an estimated 15,000 travelling supporters urged Jurgen Klopp’s side on during the second period, they struggled in their attempts to salvage a point.
