BERLIN, May 8 (Reuters) - ⁠Borussia Dortmund came from a goal ⁠down to battle past visitors Eintracht ‌Frankfurt 3-2 on Friday, to secure second place in the Bundesliga with one game left, and their ​eighth runners-up spot in the ⁠last 14 years.

Goals ⁠from Serhou Guirassy and Nico Schlotterbeck just before ⁠halftime ‌gave the hosts a 2-1 lead after Eintracht had taken ⁠a second minute lead through Can Uzun.

Teenager ​Samuele Inacio ‌added a third goal in the ⁠72nd before ​Jonathan Burkardt cut the deficit in the 86th.

Dortmund, who last won the league title ⁠in 2012, earned only their ​second win in the last five league matches.

With a game left to play, Dortmund, on ⁠70 points, will finish in second placebehind champions Bayern Munich. RB Leipzig, with a game in hand, are third on 62.

Eintracht, ​in eighth place, are ⁠now set to miss out on European ​football next season after having ‌failed to win any ​of their last four games.
