Borussia Dortmund 's mini renaissance which had seen them win four Bundesliga games in succession came to a halt , as they were held to a frustrating goalless draw at Hamburg . The tight contest saw the visitors dominate possession , with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Marco Reus typically at the heart of Dortmund 's attacks , but try as they might , they could not circumvent a well-drilled Hamburg defence . Despite an early injury to captain Johan Djourou , the hosts were able to weather the storm from Jurgen Klopp 's men .
