BERLIN (AP) -- Borussia Dortmund came from behind with three goals in five minutes to rout Freiburg 5-1 and consolidate second place in the Bundesliga on Saturday.

Jonathan Schmid put the visitors ahead in the 28th, but Dortmund seized control when Robert Lewandowski equalized in the 41st, Nuri Sahin added another in the 44th and Lewandowski grabbed his second in first half injury time.

Sahin grabbed his second in the 73rd, five minutes before Lewandowski played the ball across goal for Leonardo Bittencourt to wrap up the scoring.

Schalke lost 3-0 at Nuremberg to drop to fifth, relegation-threatened Augsburg claimed a valuable 1-0 win at Hamburger SV, Werder Bremen drew 2-2 with bottom side Greuther Fuerth, and Hoffenheim drew 0-0 with Mainz.

Bayer Leverkusen was hosting Bundesliga leader Bayern Munich later.
