REINIER ON TARGET!
A first ever Dortmund goal for the Brazilian with his first touch of the ball. It's Haaland who finds Sancho out wide, and he returns the pass to Haaland who then slides it across to Reinier for a simple finish in front of goal.

BIELEFELD BATTLING

SANCHO SPOT ON!
With his first penalty in the Bundesliga, Sancho fires home to double the Dortmund lead. He sends Ortega the wrong way to make it a goal and assist for the Englishman this afternoon.

DORTMUND PENALTY!
Reus is brought down by Pieper in front of goal and he's booked, while Dortmund have a penalty.
53'
REUS SHOT BLOCKED
Reyna has the ball with his back to goal in the Bielefeld box, so allows Reus to run across him and take the ball with him, too. He teases the defence with players in support before shooting at goal, but Pieper slides in to make a good block.
50'
CAN DOWN
A knock to the head for Can in an aerial challenge with Cordova and he is taking treatment on the pitch. It looks like he will be able to continue.
48'
DAHOUD ON FIRE!
It's all going right for Dortmund's midfield man at the moment and he's on hand to put his side ahead at the start of the second half. Sancho dribbles forward from the left, skipping past a defender before laying the ball off to Dahoud 20 yards out. He fires it low to the left and Ortega has no chance with that one.

VOGLSAMMER ON TARGET
A bright start from Bielefeld and the ball is played across the edge of the Dortmund area to Voglsammer, who works space for a shot on target which forces Hitz to make a routine save.

We're back underway in Dortmund for the second half with no changes for either side.
Kick-off!
Half-time
43'
HUGE CHANCE!
The biggest chance of the game so far comes for the away side. Dahoud loses possession with a heavy touch and Prietl breaks forward. He finds Cordova in front of goal in the area and the forward goes for goal with the outside of his left foot, but totally miscues his strike on goal and fires wide. A big chance goes to waste for Bielefeld.
41'
ALL DORTMUND HERE
The home side dominating possession here and staying patient in their search for an opening in the Bielefeld defence. Reus, Reyna and Haaland have had big chances, but no goal yet as we approach the break.
39'
HAALAND CHANCES!
Two great chances for Haaland, as Sancho plays a pass into him in the Bielefeld area and he fires a shot at goal which is straight at Ortrega. Dortmund keep the ball and recycle it again with Haaland found in much more space for a shot this time. But once again, Ortega palms it away with a fantastic save to his right.

33'
HUGE CHANCE FOR REYNA!
The American exchanges a lovely one-two with Sancho before controlling the ball in front of goal to the right. He fires a shot at the near post but his angle is just off and the ball hits the side-netting just wide of goal past Ortega. That should have been on target at the very least.
31'
CLOSE AGAIN!
Reyna plays the ball to Sancho in space on the right and he fires a cross low across the face of the Bielefeld goal. Haaland is lurking, but Nilsson is on hand to clear in front of Ortega.
30'
KNOCK FOR REYNA
A challenge with Prietl and the USMNT midfielder goes down heavily, but he's back up on his feet and will certainly look to continue.

OFF THE BAR!
Dortmund come closest so far to opening the scoring. Ortega comes to clear Sancho's free-kick but flaps at the ball, with Hummels' shot being blocked on the rebound. The loose ball falls to Reus in front of goal but he can only clip the crossbar from 12 yards out with Bielefeld players waiting on the line.
25'
LOOSE TOUCHES
A few too many mistakes being made in Dortmund's build-up play for Terzic's liking here. Sancho and Reyna giving the ball away with loose touches, and then not communicating well enough to stop Bielefeld from playing out of the back. Dortmund's young forwards taking some time to get going here.
20'
NOT SITTING BACK
Bielefeld are allowing Dortmund to have the ball in their own defence but as soon as it does come forward, pressing is happening across the pitch. And when they away side have the ball themselves, they're happy pushing bodies forward in support.
17'
FINDING THEIR WAY
The away side have won the first corner of the game with Doan at the heart of their attacking exploits here so far in the first half.

GOOD CHANCE!
Doan plays the ball to Kunze in the Dortmund area with his back to goal. He has a touch to control before firing a shot on goal which is straight at Hitz and he can punch clear. Reyna caught in possession once again in the build-up to that.
10'
TIDY START
Dortmund are in control of the ball in the opening 10 minutes here. Bellingham is pushing forward from midfield to outnumber the Bielefeld defence, with Dahoud anchoring the midfield. Sancho has been heavily involved as well, with the home side looking for openings from the off.
6'
GOOD RESPONSE
Bielefeld go right up the other end and it's Prietl who steals the ball from Reyna on the edge of his own area. It runs to Doan who slides a shot at goal with his first touch but it rolls just wide past Hitz and the Dortmund goal.
6'
REYNA'S TURN
Haaland spots Reyna in space on the right side of the Bielefeld area, and he has one touch before shooting low across goal. Ortega reaches for it but doesn't get a touch to the ball as it rolls wide.
4'
BIG CHANCE!
Dahoud plays Reus in behind the Bielefeld defence with a fine through ball and his cut-back is blocked out to Bellingham 12 yards out and in the middle of the goal. He fires a shot on target, but three or four Bielefeld defenders slide across to block.

Dortmund get us underway here on this Saturday afternoon at the Signal Iduna Park.
Kick-off!
TALE OF THE TAPE
Frankfurt's defeat at Bremen last night means Dortmund can close the gap on fourth place to three points today with a win. A huge incentive for BVB. Bielefeld are in the relegation play-off spot at the other end of the table, level on points with Hertha Berlin ahead of them and just one point in front of Mainz behind them. Every point is crucial at this stage of the season for the promoted side.
ARMINIA'S DANGER MEN
Doan and Klos have had a direct hand in 10 of Bielefeld’s 18 Bundesliga goals this season (three goals and two assists each).
HOME COMFORTS RETURNING?
Dortmund are unbeaten at home in the Bundesliga under Edin Terzic (W2, D2). BVB had lost three home games in a row before Terzic took over from Lucien Favre.

DORTMUND'S DREAM DUO
Haaland and Sancho have been on fire in recent weeks for BVB, even if the team hasn't had the results they would have been hoping for. Haaland scored his sixth Bundesliga brace of the season last time out - the same number as Robert Lewandowski. Sancho, meanwhile, has contributed 10 goals in nine league games since the turn of the year.
