Close. Dortmnd break, Brandt squares it, it falls to Haaland, but the move breaks down.

Besiktas are having a good spell of pressure here, masterminded by Pjanic.

More good stuff form the hosts. Pjanic to Larin with a neat spin and his shot is charged down.
11'
Pjanic with a through ball, Guerreiro, caught out of position, but its overhit and Ghezzal cannot get there. That was a let off.

The Germans have a good record against Turkish sides, 6 wins from 8 games.

WHAT A SAVE! Pjanic to Batshuayi, who controls it in the box and hammers it towards goal and its brilliantly tipped over. From the corner, Dortmund deal with the danger.
5'
Dortmund have had more of the possession early on.
3'
Hummels with a beautiful ball with the outside of his foot to Haaland in the box but its just overcooked.

Dortmund manager Marco Rose believes Erling Haaland can get even better.
Ahead of the game, he said: "He’s an excellent player, we all know that.
"[He is] a player who knows he still has potential for development.
"I think he’s a young player who can, of course, still gain experience at the absolute top level, who has to learn to deal with resistance with certain things."
Rose added: In terms of heading, [Haaland] showed at the weekend at Leverkusen that he’s working on that too and scored a beautiful header.”
