35'
GOAL! Borussia Dortmund 1 (Haaland 35) Sevilla 0
That could be the tie. Dortmund win the ball high as Sevilla try to play out from the back. Dahoud slips a pass through to Reus on the left of the area. He draws out Bono and cuts the ball back to Haaland, who has a simple tap in from seven yards out.

34'
Acuna whips a brilliant cross into the Dortmund area, right through the six-yard box but with no takers.
33'
Suso wins a free kick in the middle of the Dortmund half. This is high octane stuff from them, but they need to start working Hitz.
30'
Diego Carlos looks to have tweaked his hammy here. He goes off, but is soon back on and seems fine.
27'
Dortmund get forwards now, but Delaney's cross into the box is headed clear. It's an awkward stick or twist situation for the home side; if they open out, they can finish the tie off for certain, but open out too much and concede first then it's right back on.
24'
More pressure from Sevilla, from which Dortmund try to launch Haaland over the top when they retrieve the ball. Sevilla mop it up easily enough; Dortmund's main threat has hardly been in this so far.

Morey catches Rodriguez right above the ankle after overrunning the ball, and it's a yellow card.
18'
CHANCE! Ocampos has started well. He beats two as he cuts infield on the break - nutmegging Can no less - before laying off to Suso who drills his shot a couple of yards wide from the edge of the area.
16'
Bellingham wins a very loud 50:50 in the midfield. From that, Cekir gives a free kick to Dortmund, I've no idea why.
13'
One long ball almost releases Hazard; he's through on the right of the area, but doesn't realise it, and volleys a wayward cross into the box when there was no one to stop him bringing it down and sauntering unopposed on goal.
12'
A succession of dangerous crosses are launched into Dortmund's box, but none of them are finding Sevilla players. Dortmund are pinned right back at the minute.
9'
Navas wins a corner for Sevilla. Suso's first effort is cleared, his second is dangerously whipped into the six-yard box but Dortmund get it away. Sevilla win another corner too; they've started well here.
6'
Ocampos almost gets away through the inside right channel, but Can is across well to snuff out the danger. This is really open already, the first goal will be huge; if Sevilla get it, what larks we've got in store.
5'
Sevilla get a corner, from which Dortmund eventually break. Schulz's cross is cleared to Delaney, who hits a low daisy cutter into the arms of Bono.
3'
CHANCE! Emre Can coughs the ball to Ocampos, who cuts in from the left and wallops a 20 yarder at goal. Hitz is behind it though, and punches clear.

19:55
We're inching closer to kick-off here. Your referee for tonight is Cuneyt Cakir.
19:50
Sevilla need a minimum 2-0, 3-1 or better victory to progress tonight; 3-2 would take it to extra-time. They could so easily have been out of it after the first leg, but De Jong’s late goal has added some jeopardy to tonight’s match. If they are to do it, Sevilla will need to jam a handbrake on their recent form; including the first leg they’ve lost four of their last five matches.
19:45
Dortmund come into this match off the back of a 4-2 defeat at Bayern Munich, a game in which they had led 2-0 after 10 minutes. They are currently sixth in the Bundesliga, and while it’s been a patchy season at home they have more than enough quality to stand a punchers chance in the Champions League. If this vibrant young team are going to win it together, it might have to be now; both Haaland and Sancho are heavily linked elsewhere and a new coach with new ideas, Marco Rose, is incoming this summer.
19:40
Shall we have a little reminder of what happened in leg the first? Dortmund won in Spain for only the second time in their history, in what was a wonderfully open match. Their advantage was whittled down to one with a late goal by Luuk de Jong. So, three away goals in the tin and advantage Dortmund, but we’ve still got a game on tonight.
19:35
Sevilla need to win tonight, and have made nine changes from their defeat at Elche at the weekend. Goalkeeper Bono and centre-back Jules Kounde are both fit again after injury.
