Fortuna Dusseldorf stunned RB Leipzig with two late goals to draw 2-2 in the Bundesliga on Wednesday and boost their hopes of avoiding relegation. Two goals in three minutes from Kevin Kampl and Timo Werner had Leipzig on course to consolidate third place and all but secure a place in the Champions League.
But Steven Skrzybski netted in the 87th minute and Andre Hoffmann equalised in injury time.
