Klopp is raging on the sideline, after two awful long-range passes from Subotic. Their attack peters out as a result and that could be the last chance for Dortmund.
90' +2
Rudiger clears off the line! The home fans are urging their side towards a third goal, with plenty of yellow shirts streaming forward. Schmelzer picks out Piszczek at the back post, before the Polish right-back beats Ulreich with a low drive! Fortunately for Stuttgart, they have a man present behind their goalkeeper to keep things level!
90'
There are four minutes of stoppage time for either side to find a late winner!
89'
F. Kostić enters the game and replaces C. Gentner.
Ulreich denies Piszczek, with Stuttgart now the side who are holding on! Sokratis makes an excellent tackle in an advanced area, but is wrongly penalised for a foul by the referee. Veh makes another change, introducing Kostic in place of Gentner.
88'
Three points are now in sight for the home side, despite their struggles to net the opening goal! Veh is nervously pacing around his technical area, with all of the late pressure coming from a resurgent Dortmund side in front of their buoyant fans.
86'
C. Immobile has scored a goal for Borussia Dortmund! Assist by M. Schmelzer.
GOOOOOOOOAL! IMMOBILE CONVERTS TO LEVEL THINGS UP! The Italian bundles home at the back post after Ulreich fails to deal with a Schmelzer free-kick! Rudiger is unsighted by his goalkeeper, allowing for the former Torino striker to net his first Bundesliga goal!
85'
C. Gentner gets yellow.
84'
Weidenfeller makes an important save! Dortmund are caught at the back again, this time thanks to Hummels, with Gentner anticipating the mistake. He forces a top stop from the Germany international, before Ibisevic fires the rebound over the crossbar!
83'
Veh's changes have been fairly negative, with Stuttgart trying to ride out the remaining eight minutes of normal time. Schmelzer feeds Kagawa, but the Japan international is unable to take a good touch to set himself on the edge of the box. Ramos then drives at the heart of the visiting defence, but Ulreich claims.
81'
N. Subotić gets yellow.
Schmelzer overlaps beyond Ramos down the left, before his early cross is dealt with by Rudiger. Subotic is booked for a late challenge on Ibisevic, with the Bosnia international helping his side to come upfield for a rare foray forward.
Minute
Description
79'
G. Niedermeier enters the game and replaces D. Didavi.
A few chances in quick succession for Dortmund, with corners aplenty for Klopp's men. Veh looks to stem the tide with a couple of substitutions, to try and fracture the positive spell the hosts are enjoying. Didavi is withdrawn for the returning Niedermeier.
78'
V. Ibišević enters the game and replaces T. Werner.
77'
Jojic feeds Schmelzer down the channel, before the left-back delivers a back post cross to Immobile. The striker rises well but can only cushion a tame header straight at Ulreich.
76'
Dortmund are certainly in the ascendancy now, with yellow and black shirts pouring forward at every opportunity. Stuttgart have looked fairly solid throughout, but might just be asked a few more personal questions in the later stages of this fast-paced game.
74'
M. Hummels enters the game and replaces K. Großkreutz.
J. Gyau enters the game and replaces P. Aubameyang.
Two changes for Dortmund, with Aubameyang's goal his last contribution. Gyau and Hummels come into the fray, with the former making his league debut for the club. A quarter of an hour remains for the hosts to find their second goal to restore parity.
73'
P. Aubameyang has scored a goal for Borussia Dortmund! Assist by Ł. Piszczek.
GOOOOOOOOAL! AUBAMEYANG MAKES IT 2-1! Dortmund are back in the game. The former Saint Etienne striker uses his power to break beyond Schwaab after a great pass from Piszczek, dribbles past the sprawling Ulreich and slots home a neat finish.
72'
Leitner breaks in behind the Dortmund lines for Stuttgart, with Schmelzer losing the youngster once again. The visitors aren't looking particularly dangerous on the break, Die Schwarzgelben have just been simply terrible defensively.
70'
Dortmund have merely 20 minutes left to turn around a shock 2-0 deficit at Signal Iduna Park. Stuttgart are looking resilient and Ulreich hasn't been too troubled by anything Klopp's men have thrown at them thus far. Kagawa sends a glancing header towards goal, but it whistles inches wide at the back post.
68'
D. Didavi has scored a goal for Stuttgart! Assist by T. Werner.
GOOOOOAL! DIDAVI NETS AGAIN! Stuttgart makes it 2-0, with sloppy defending from Dortmund once again! Schmelzer fails to clear a long pass, with Werner collecting the loose ball and passing inside to Didavi. The goalscorer converts his second calmly!
66'
A. Ramos enters the game and replaces S. Bender.
Bender is withdrawn for the home side, with Ramos adding some extra pace and quality to Dortmund's forward line. The Colombian heads up front immediately, with Klopp's intentions rather clear, Die Schwarzgelben need to get back into this contest and fast.
65'
Dortmund are beginning to flight far more crosses into the penalty area, but Stuttgart are holding out effectively for now. The quality of their final ball is lacking, with Veh's side able to hack away plenty of clearances. Adrian Ramos is warming up on the sidelines.
64'
Oriol Romeu gets yellow.
63'
Aubameyang finds Immobile in behind, with the former Torino man finding Piszczek overlapping on the right-hand side. The full-back delivers, but Schwaab is able to make a vital interception to deny Grosskreutz a chance at the back post. Immobile then fails to find a yellow shirt at the far post from the left byline.
61'
S. Papastathopoulos gets yellow.
Half an hour remains for Die Schwarzgelben to turn this one around, but it isn't looking too likely on current evidence. Jojic tries to break in behind Sakai, but the Japanese full-back makes a timely interception to deny Dortmund. Sokratis is then booked for a clumsy challenge on Werner.
59'
Stuttgart are dropping deeper, making it difficult for Dortmund to break and get in behind the visitors. Immobile is visibly becoming very frustrated, with some substitutions perhaps needed to turn this contest in the hosts' favour.
57'
Dortmund continue to patiently probe around the edge of the penalty area, but can't find a way through the Stuttgart lines. Veh's eleven are remaining organised and resilient, things aren't looking promising for the hosts.
55'
Good work from Kagawa again! The Japan international clips a clever cross in towards the back post, but Grosskreutz is only able to turn a header into the awaiting arms of Ulreich. Klopp is furious with the fourth official, after an incorrect throw-in decision is made straight in front of him.
54'
Dortmund try to slide Immobile in behind, but Rudiger is alive to the danger and hoofs clear ahead of his goalkeeper. The hosts turn the ball into the box from the resulting throw-in, but Ulreich claims.
52'
Didavi breaks down the right but is held up by Sokratis, before the goalscorer loses his balance and allows for the Greek defender to come away with the ball. Stuttgart are searching for their second, which would really sound the alarm bells for Dortmund. Leitner shoots from 30 yards, but sees his effort deflected behind for another corner.
50'
Dortmund break upfield in an attempt to respond quickly, but Immobile is denied by the offside flag. It hasn't quite happened for the Italian tonight, but he only needs half a chance to change that. Die Schwarzgelben have given away yet another cheap goal.
48'
D. Didavi has scored a goal for Stuttgart! Assist by C. Gentner.
GOOOOOOAL! Dortmund fail to deal with an early Stuttgart corner, which eventually falls to the feet of Didavi due to a ball from Gentner. The visiting number ten slots beyond Weidenfeller to give the away side the lead.
46'
We are back underway in the second half! No goals as of yet, but we have seen plenty of offensive promise from both sides.
45'
Kagawa manages to clip an intelligent ball to the back post for Aubameyang, but it's slightly too high for the Gabon international! He gets a head to it, but can only deflect wide of the near post. Ulreich may not have got there had it been on target.
44'
Leitner curls in a free-kick effort from a tight angle on the left-hand side, but Weidenfeller gets a strong hand up to punch away the devilish delivery. It was something of a cross-cum-shot, but the goalkeeper had to get contact on it, otherwise it was heading in.
43'
Stuttgart continue to threaten on the break, with Weidenfeller not looking particularly convincing with his kicking. Dortmund are possibly here for the taking tonight, only Kagawa is shining going forward.
41'
Ulreich makes a smart save! Grosskreutz breaks inside, before the left-sided midfielder tries a right-footed shot, with the Stuttgart goalkeeper having to athletically get a strong left hand up to parry the danger away.
40'
Five minutes until the break and Stuttgart are looking rather good value for the current scoreline. Weidenfeller has been forced into more important saves, though Kagawa was only denied by the woodwork. No goals, but plenty of encouraging attacking play from both outfits.
38'
Leitner plays a one-two with Werner, before whipping in a cross from the left. It's half-cleared, before a long-range effort is deflected behind for a Stuttgart corner. The former Dortmund man takes once again, but Weidenfeller punches clear.
37'
Stuttgart are staying in shape well and forcing Dortmund's pacey forward runners into turning back towards their own goal. Jojic takes aim from 30 yards, but dips a left-footed effort narrowly over the bar! The goalkeeper was worried and at full-stretch, but the Serbian failed to find the target.
35'
Werner bursts down the right-hand side excellently, before Subotic slides in to steal possession from the youngster and concedes a corner in the process. Leitner whips in the set piece, but Rudiger can't turn his header goalward.
33'
Kagawa strikes the crossbar! Piszczek clips a ball into the Japan international, who controls with his chest and tries to lift a second-touch finish over the advancing goalkeeper! It loops onto the top of the frame of the goal and behind for a goal-kick! Incredibly close for Dortmund.
32'
Schmelzer now tries to deliver from the left-hand side, but Ulreich is easily able to claim the cross. As has been the case throughout the early action, Dortmund's final ball is certainly letting them down. Stuttgart are continuing to look solid.
30'
A quarter of an hour remains until the break, with Stuttgart taking some heart from their performance thus far. Immobile cuts inside from the left-hand side, before curling a powerful effort high and wide of the top right corner.
29'
Grosskreutz tries to play a first-time through ball around the corner for Immobile to chase, but it's far too heavy for the Italy international. Klopp is animated on the edge of his technical area, with the hosts needing to improve the quality of the their final ball if they are to bring a good save out of Ulreich before the interval.
27'
Piszczek manages to hook a dangerous cross over his shoulder and towards the back post, but Klein does his defensive duty to head clear. This game is extremely open, half chances are appearing regularly for both respective sides. No opening goal yet, though!
25'
Werner is causing problems for Dortmund when countering, but the 18-year-old has been caught offside a couple of times in the opening half an hour. Klopp's men certainly aren't dominating this contest, with Veh's side looking very dangerous at the moment.
23'
Weidenfeller denies Werner! The young forward breaks down the right, before forcing the Germany international into a smart stop! Moments later, Gruezo unleashes an ambitious strike from 30 yards, but the ball zips wide of the far upright.
21'
Aubameyang's pace is causing some problems on the break for Stuttgart, but otherwise Stuttgart are looking fairly solid and comfortable. Immobile gets to the byline and delivers a cut-back to Kagawa, but the Japanese midfielder is unable to get the travelling ball under his spell in order to shoot.
19'
Schmelzer is felled by Gruezo, earning Dortmund a free-kick 20 yards from goal. Aubameyang shoots, but strikes the wall. The hosts maintain their pressure, finding Kagawa deep in the penalty area, but the former Manchester United midfielder can only dance around two defenders before being forced back towards his own half.
17'
Leitner slides an aimless through ball forward, which is claimed by Weidenfeller. Dortmund break through Aubameyang, before setting a pass back to Schmelzer. The left-back delivers, but Rudiger is able to make a timely interception at the near post.
15'
Werner is found in behind Dortmund's lines by Romeu, but the youngster is found offside as he bears down on goal. The visitors are giving as good as they're getting in the opening stages and in their lone striker they have some quality to put Die Schwarzgelben to the sword.
14'
Dortmund continue to enjoy more possession, with Stuttgart happy to surrender some territory. The hosts haven't been able to create clear cut chances, however, with Immobile in particular seeing very little of the ball. Veh clearly has a strict game-plan.
12'
Stuttgart are keeping plenty of men behind the ball, but certainly pose a threat on the break! Werner and Gentner have found space beyond enemy lines and a well-angled direct pass could lead to the visitors taking a slightly undeserved lead.
10'
Gentner goes close! The midfielder is found in between Schmelzer and Sokratis by a diagonal ball, but he can only loop an effort wide of the far post with his first touch! He attempts to lift a clever finish over the advancing Weidenfeller, but his execution isn't quite to perfection!
9'
Jojic tests Ulreich! Space opens up for the Serbian midfielder at the edge of the penalty area and he needs no invitation to shoot! The ball rockets towards the midriff of the goalkeeper, who claims fairly easily. The visitors definitely have the busier shot-stopper thus far!
8'
Sakai plays another ball down the line for Werner to chase, but the youngster is muscled off the ball by Subotic and possession is returned to Weidenfeller. The Stuttgart striker is already cutting a rather isolated figure at the head of Veh's eleven.
6'
Aubameyang breaks down the left, before angling a cross along the 18-yard line. Kagawa is able to pick up the scraps, but the Japan international curls a tame effort easily within the reach of Ulreich.
5'
Leitner is fed down the left-hand side, but the German midfielder is unable to beat Sokratis to an ambitious forward ball. Klopp's men are moving the ball with more confidence, but Stuttgart's back four has marshalled Immobile well.
3'
The hosts start the brighter of the two sides, seeing the majority of possession, but the only half chance has arrived due to a hopeful lofted through ball to Immobile. Ulreich was alert to race off his line to claim.
1'
We are underway in the first half at Signal Iduna Park! Dortmund are in their customary black and yellow, while Stuttgart are also in their home strip - of red and white.
Hello and welcome to live coverage of Borussia Dortmund versus Stuttgart, as Jurgen Klopp's side attempt to right their form on home soil at Signal Iduna Park. The visitors are rooted to the bottom of the Bundesliga with merely one point from their opening four games, but will take some heart from the fact that Die Schwarzgelben suffered defeat at the hands of Mainz last time out.
I'm Simon Harrison and I will be leading you through all of the action this evening, as the home side try to extend Stuttgart's poor run in the German top flight. A strong side has been assembled by Klopp, while Armin Veh is forced to field a similar starting eleven to the one which has struggled so far this campaign. The form book doesn't lie, with the away side avoiding defeat merely once in their last five matches.
TEAM NEWS: Vedad Ibisevic is included only on the bench for Stuttgart, with young Timo Werner asked to do the running in attack. Carlos Gruezo sits in defensive midfield with Chelsea loanee Oriol Romeu, with former Dortmund man Moritz Leitner featuring just ahead of the two. The back four remains the same for Veh's side, with much expected of full-backs Florian Klein and Gotoku Sakai.
TEAM NEWS: Mats Hummels takes a seat on the substitutes bench for Dortmund, with Neven Subotic and Sokratis named ahead of the recovering Germany international. Marcel Schmelzer is preferred to Erik Durm at left-back, with Sven Bender continuing in midfield alongside Milos Jojic. Kevin Grosskreutz is asked to work down the left-hand side, with Pierre-Emerick Aubemeyang on the opposite flank, while Ciro Immobile leads the line alone. Shinji Kagawa sits in as the hosts' number ten.
HALF TIME! It's goalless at the break at Signal Iduna Park, with both goals peppered in the opening 45 minutes. Kagawa and Grosskreutz have got closest for Dortmund, while Stuttgart have threatened on the break, courtesy of Werner.
The away side look solid, but not particularly expansive, as Veh attempts to lead his team to their first victory at this ground in seven years. The three points are still certainly up for grabs, with a bit of quality in the final third all that is required. Be sure to re-join us in ten minutes time for the second half action!
FULL TIME! Dortmund come from two goals down to draw at home against Stuttgart, with Rudiger making a vital goal-line clearance to deny Piszczek late on! Goals from Aubameyang and Immobile cancelled out a brace from Didavi, with Die Schwarzgelben fortunate to scrape a point.
That's all that we have time for from Signal Iduna Park, with Stuttgart narrowly denied their first victory in the Bundesliga. Defensive woes were characteristic of Dortmund once again, with the visitors nearly taking a league scalp. I've been Simon Harrison and I hope to see you again next time.
