DORTMUND, Germany (Reuters) - Bundesliga pacesetters Borussia Dortmund suffered a shock 2-1 loss at promoted Fortuna Duesseldorf on Tuesday that snapped their unbeaten league start and cut their lead to six points. As expected, Dortmund, who had only lost in the Champions League this term, had most possession, with some 75 percent in the first half, but Duesseldorf created the chances. The home side's Belgian winger Lukebakio, who got a hat-trick against Bayern Munich last month, notched his seventh league goal this season after a quick break in the 22nd minute. But despite a one-sided finale, Dortmund could not find an equaliser and suffered their first loss of the league campaign. "They caught us on the break really well and we were a bit surprised by the first goal," said Dortmund coach Lucien Favre after his first league loss on the club's bench.
