The Bundesliga side finished up the first 45 minutes with a two goal advantage as they headed for the dressing room.
On return to the pitch for the second half, Frank Lampard's men turned on the heat as they mount pressure on their opponent.
And in the 59th minute, their efforts paid off as Tammy Abraham reduced their deficit from the spot to put the game at 2-1 with about 30 minutes left to play.
The goal gave them more confident as they continued to pressure the German side with so much attacking play.
Meanwhile, Ross Barkley also got a chance to put his name on the scores sheet as he restores parity for the Premier League outfit in the 86th minute.
Two second half goals from Tammy Abraham and Ross Barkley were all Chelsea needed to avoid their second preseason defeat under new boss Franck Lampard.
The Stamford Bridge side were held to a 2-2 draw at the Borussia park in their last friendly game before the start of a new season.
Alassane Plea opened scoring for the German side in the 13th minute after benefiting from a poor clearance from the Blues and fires into the bottom left corner to give the German side the lead.
Jonas Hofmann doubled his side's lead with just six minutes left to play in the first half after launching a counter-attacking move from the opponent's initial attack.
Our final pre-season game ends in a draw. Another good test for the Blues, with just over a week to go until our Premier League campaign begins... #BMGCHE
