BVB 0-0 LOSC (0')
Strong start from Dortmund. The hosts dominated the opening five minutes, with Lille barely getting a kick in. Guirassy almost put his side ahead in the second minute, but a good stop from Chevalier kept the score level. The number nine is looking dangerous today.
BVB 0-0 LOSC (5')
Borussia Dortmund's dominance - almost three-fourth of ball posession - comes to fruition as Pascal Gross gets his name on the scoresheet. It came from a corner by Ryerson, and was a bit of a scrappy affair at the end. Gross got his head on the cross but it was saved by Chevalier. He had another chance from the rebound, and made no mistake this time.
BVB 1-0 LOSC (13')
Dortmund contiunue to pile on the pressure, and it's Pascal Gross again. The midfielder receives the ball and curls in a left-footer from the edge of the box, and the Lille goalkeeper makes a fingertip save to keep it out. The resulting corner leads to nothing, but BVB have the posession.
BVB 1-0 LOSC (20')
Another great save from Chevalier - he is clearly the best player for Lille at the moment. Guirassy got the ball in the box and took out two defenders with a faked shot, but he gave the goalkeeper just enough time to rush out and palm the ball away from his feet.
BVB 1-0 LOSC (23')
Dortmund are getting closer and closer to finding the second goal. Marcel Sabitzer tries to bend one in from outside the box, and it agonisingly hits the top right post and crashes out. Nothing Chevalier could have done about that.
BVB 1-0 LOSC (25')
A turn from Sabitzer leads to a clash of shins between the Austrian and Ethan Mbappe. Both players go down in pain, but the Frenchman stays down and receives some extended treatment from the physios. The last thing LOSC will want is an injury.
BVB 1-0 LOSC (35')
A clumsy challenge from Andre on Beier inside the box leads to the German winger going down in a heap, and the referee points to the spot. Diakite earns himself a booking for arguing with the ref.
Guirassy steps up to take the spot kick. It’s a simple run-up, and the shot is fairly central, but Chavalier had dived the wrong way.
BVB 2-0 LOSC (41')
After four minutes of added time, the referee blows his whistle. Dortmund have a two-goal advantage going into the break, but Lille were slowly growing into the match during the last ten minutes or so. A big second half awaits.
BVB 2-0 LOSC (HT)
The players have returned to the pitch, and Lille get the second half underway! Stay tuned.
BVB 2-0 LOSC (45')
A much more controlled start from LOSC Lille. The Ligue 1 side have more of the ball, and are dictating play at the moment. Howevr, they are yet to have a shot off at Kobel's goal.
BVB 2-0 LOSC (53')
Two golden chances for Lille to get one goal back. Meyer tried to kick the ball away but it was intercepted by Haraldsson. Fortunately, the ball bounced of him out, and the follow up from Diaoune is wide.
BVB 2-0 LOSC (64')
Diaoune and Haraldsson combine perfectly this time, with a terrific through ball finding the Icelander. Haraldsson continues his run and then finishes past Meyer, and Lille are back in the game.
BVB 2-1 LOSC (67')
A great first-time ball from Boyamba finds the onrushing Adeyemi. The German winger runs with the ball, slows down, and then picks up his spot, dinking it past the goalkeeper to find the far corner.
BVB 3-1 LOSC (68')
The match is perfectly set up at the moment, and it's end to end action. Andre Gomes almost scored a terrific free-kick moments after coming on, but a good save from Meyer kept BVB's two-goal lead intact. Dortmund immediately pounce on the ball and push on the attack, and Cossier gets his name taken for kicking the ball away.
BVB 3-1 LOSC (75')
Thomas Meunier comes back to haunt his old club just two minutes after coming on as a substitute, finishing first time with a toe poke past Meyer to bring the deficit down to one again.
BVB 3-2 LOSC (82')
Lille have had a number of chances to equalise, with Haraldsson coming close with his finish before Bentaleb had a wild shot from outside the box go wide. The Ligue 1 side are pushing hard.
BVB 3-2 LOSC (89')
A free-kick right outside the box is taken by Couto, and the shot brings out a regulation save from the goalkeeper. With that, the referee blows the full-time whistle. A five-goal thriller, and Dortmund come out on top - just about.
