Dante had a chance to extend their advantage but did could get enough purchase on his strike from range.

Dortmund mounted a response after the interval, but were restricted to powerful efforts from distance by Ilkay Gundogan and Marco Reus.

Daniel van Buyten and Mario Mandzukic both missed chances to seal the match late on as Dortmund struggled to find a way back into the tie.
