Dortmund went into the game as Europe's form team, but had to survive a number of first-half scares at the Signal Iduna Park. Nico Schlotterbeck prevented Christopher Nkunku going through on goal, before Dominik Szoboszlai tested the reflexes of Alexander Meyer - parachuted in after Gregor Kobel sustained an injury in the warm-up - with a stinging shot from distance. Shortly after Nkunku sent another effort wide, Julian Brandt had a thunderous finish ruled out for handball and a goal-bound shot blocked by Josko Gvardiol. Reus won and converted a penalty after being upended by Janis Blaswich, but Leipzig continued to give as good as they got as Marcel Halstenberg volleyed over from close range. Emre Can made no such mistake with a deflected 20-yard strike that put BVB firmly in control at the break.
