BERLIN — Borussia Dortmund squandered a three-goal lead and drew with Hoffenheim 3-3 at home then watched Bayern Munich cut its lead in the Bundesliga to five points on Saturday. Bayern took advantage of Dortmund’s second successive league slip-up by beating Schalke 3-1 in the late game, lifting the six-time defending champion back to second place. “A very bitter outcome,” Dortmund midfielder Mario Goetze said. Belfodil equalized with his second goal in the 87th. Dortmund, which squandered a four-goal lead in a dramatic 4-4 draw with Schalke last season, next visits Tottenham in the Champions League on Wednesday.
