90+2'
FT: Dortmund 1-1 Liverpool. Jurgen Klopp's Dortmund homecoming ended unbeaten as his Liverpool produced a solid away display to claim a 1-1 draw ahead of the second leg at Anfield next Thursday. The Reds were heavy underdogs coming into this contest but will now feel they have a great chance to reach the semi finals despite seeing Divock Origi's priceless away goal cancelled out by Hummels.

YNWA belting out from the fans now - but this time it's just the away support. They will be proud of this away display.

Two minutes added.
89'
Dortmund out of ideas. Liverpool looking solid at the back.
88'
The clock is ticking down for BVB. Is Klopp's return going to be an unbeaten one?
87'
Sturridge with some lovely feet in and around the Dortmund area but he's eventually crowded out. Can he conjure up a moment of magic out of the blue to stun this great stadium?
86'
A poor ball down the line curves into the area and into the grateful arms of Mignolet. Liverpool look shattered by Dortmund aren't exactly pressing at full throttle.
85'
LIVERPOOL CHANGE: Origi replaced by Sturridge.
84'
Schmelzer breaks free on the left but his cutback can't find a Dortmund shirt. Cue groans from the crowd.
83'
This would be a great result for Liverpool to take back to Anfield. Can they hold out? A European night in L4 has helped them over the line more than once before....

Great feet from Mkhitaryan but he's stopped at the fifth attempt by a flurry of Liverpool challenges.
81'
Sokratis booked for halting Origi's attempt to burst clear on the counter attack.
80'
The Dortmund faithful raising the volume for one last push.

Moreno slides in foolishly with two feet on Pulisic. He gets away with it. If he'd been booked he'd have been ruled out of the second leg.
78'
LIVERPOOL CHANGE: Roberto Firmino on for Lallana.
77'
Double change for BVB: Sokratis on for Bender AND Pulisic on for Aubameyang.

Liverpool dropping deeper. Can they hold out for a 1-1?

Castro floats a cross into the middle but Lovren gets there first and powers a header clear.

Free kick to Dortmund 30-35 yards out to the left of centre outside Liverpool's area.
73'
Klopp attracting more attention than the action on the pitch!
