The Portuguese star latched onto the ball inside the box before unleashing a powerful strike into the upper-right corner of the net.
The goal forced Schalke to go all-in with their attacks in the final 20 minutes. The hosts made four changes, bringing in the likes of Tobias Mohr and Simon Terodde.
Schalke finally got what they were looking for when Kenan Karaman made it 2-2 in the 79th minute.
The late equalizer saw Dortmund increase their pressure toward the end of the game. But it was already too late for them to change the result.
