Match Updates

0' Teams are out, and we're underway.

3' Wolfsburg have the ball in the net, but it's disallowed as Perisic fouls Weidenfeller.

6' Gustavo - Hard tackle on Kehl

8' Reus tries an optimistic back heel but it's easily saved by Grun.

12' TOOOOOOOOORRRR DORTMUND! It's been end to end stuff so far, and Dortmund find the break through. Mkhitaryan is the scorer after some good work by Reus. GIF

15' It really is end to end stuff. Wolfsburg are beginning to get a foothold in the match.

17' Reus is one-on-one with Grun, but he takes a heavy touch and Grun is able to claim it.

18' How have Wolfsburg not scored? Corner swung in, and it goes through everyone and drops to the feet of a Wolfsburg player, but they can't force it into the net.

19' Dortmund are all over the place at the back. De Bruyne delivers a good ball into Olic in the box, but he cant get it out from his feet.

21' De Bruyne has a chance but its saved well by Weidenfeller.

24' Perisic and De Bruyne are doing good jobs of getting the ball into the box, but nobody is in there.

26' Perisic is contesting another header after a great ball from De Bruyne, but his bullet header is wide of the target.

34' Chance for Wolfsburg. They have a free kick on the left, and De Bruyne puts it in, and Naldo is close to knocking it in, but can't quite get there.

39' Great chance for Grosskreutz, he shoots wide after a near back heel from Reus and some good work down the right.

42' It really should be level. Malanda has a late charge into the box, and a cross is put in from the right and he heads it onto the post. De Bruyne follows in, but he shoots wide.

43' TOOOOOORRRRR DORTMUND And that is why you take your chances. Reus is running down the right, passes it to Lewandowski in the middle and he smashes it home, giving Grun no chance. gif

45' 1 minute added on.

HALF TIME - BORUSSIA DORTMUND 2 - 0 WOLFSBURG

45' We're back off again for the second half.

47' Chance for Dortmund. Mkhitaryan breaks, and passes across the box to Lewandowski but he cant quite reach it.

49' CLUNK. Lewandowski hits the post when trying to put the ball across the box.

51' Golden chance for Wolfsburg. Olic jumps up between Weidenfeller and Hummels and the keeper has to punch it away, but its straight to Arnold who fires a shot in, but it takes a deflection and goes wide.

53' Dortmund have the ball in the net. Reus puts in a free kick, but its unclear if Lewandowski is offside or if its ruled out for a foul.

56' De Bruyne puts a ball in from the right but Olic can't put his header on target.

58' Great ball into the box from a free kick by Reus, and its right on Sokratis' head, but his header isn't powerful enough to get it over the line and past Grun.

63' Arnold Vieirinha (Shall be known as V man)

66' Incredible save by Grun from Lewandowski - however it wouldn't have counted as Lewandowski fouled a defender.

67' Kehl

69' Another chance for Olic, but he can't direct his header on target.

71' V man has a powerful shot that is too hot for Weidenfeller to handle but fortunately for him, it doesn't fall to a Wolfsburg player.

72' Mkhitaryan Kirch

75' Chance of the game. Perisic knocks the ball into De Bruyne's feet, and then chips a delicious ball into Malanda who is wide open and he volleys his shot over. He lets out a squeal of anguish, and surely that is the nail in the coffin?

81' How has that not gone in. 2 magnificent saves from Weidenfeller. Malanda has a good, hard kick at Sokratis and Weidenfeller trying to get it in, but he then goes down holding his knee.

83' Malanda Caligiuri

85' Lewandowski Aubameyang

90' 5 minutes added on.

90 2' Caligiuri has a header, but he puts it into the side netting.

90 3' Reus Schieber

90 4' Reus and Weidenfeller just had a flaming argument before Reus went off there. No idea what it's all about.

90 6' Aubameyang

FULL TIME - BORUSSIA DORTMUND 2 - 0 WOLFSBURG

All in all, a good game which was a lot closer than what the scoreline suggests. Wolfsburg certainly had their chances, however they didn't take them and Dortmund made them pay.
