BERLIN: Excelling in the Champions League, disappointing in the Bundesliga.
Borussia Dortmund suffered another domestic setback when they were held at Augsburg to 1-1 on Saturday just days after topping a Champions League group with Paris Saint-Germain, AC Milan and Newcastle.
When asked how the team cannot maintain their good Champions League form in the Bundesliga, Dortmund defender Nico Schlotterbeck answered, 鈥淚 don鈥檛 know.鈥�
Ermedin Demirovi膰 held off Schlotterbeck鈥檚 challenge 鈥� arguably with a shove 鈥� to fire Augsburg into a 23rd-minute lead.
Donyell Malen played a one-two with Niclas F眉llkrug to equalize in the 35th.
Augsburg missed three good chances early in the second half before Dortmund coach Edin Terzi膰 sent on Gio Reyna for Marco Reus in the 58th, then the 19-year-old Samuel Bamba for his Bundesliga debut in the 71st, but Dortmund were unable to grab a winner.
It鈥檚 Dortmund鈥檚 third straight Bundesliga game without a win, and their fifth across all competitions including a 1-1 draw with PSG on Wednesday.
Terzi膰鈥檚 team have won only one of their last seven Bundesliga games.
Dortmund, which came agonizingly close to ending Bayern Munich鈥檚 domestic dominance last season, can fall nine points behind the defending champion, and 13 behind league leader Bayer Leverkusen if Leverkusen beat Eintracht Frankfurt at home on Sunday.
Dortmund also risk falling further behind fourth-placed Leipzig in the race for Champions League qualification. Leipzig hosted Hoffenheim late Saturday.

TASTY TAKUMA
Fueled by chocolate from supporters鈥� protests, Takuma Asano scored to set up Bochum鈥檚 3-0 win over visiting Union Berlin in their duel at the lower end of the table.
The Japan forward grabbed a chocolate coin that was among many thrown onto the field by fans protesting the league鈥檚 plans to bring in an outside investor, unwrapped the gold foil, and ate the chocolate inside.
Then Asano broke the deadlock in first-half injury time by firing Bochum ahead.
Gon莽alo Paci锚ncia and Kevin St枚ger 鈥� from a penalty 鈥� scored in the second half to deal Union their first league defeat under new coach Nenad Bjelica.
Also, Lovro Majer鈥檚 second-half goal was enough for 10-man Wolfsburg to beat Darmstadt 1-0, and Marvin Pieringer scored to give Heidenheim a 1-0 win in Mainz.
