DORTMUND GET THE JOB DONE

Haaland missed another chance late on - he could have had three or four tonight. Dortmund win, though, and that's all they'll care about. They're four points behind fourth-placed Frankfurt, with a trip to third-in-the-table Wolfsburg to come at the weekend. Union, who had chances of their own, stay eighth.

GAME, SET AND MATCH

That's the goal Dortmund should have scored long ago. Haaland feeds Brandt on the counter. He slips a superb ball into the box for Guerreiro, who steers home on the outside of his left boot. Lovely goal. Game over for Union.

ACCESS DENIED

Haaland again, but this time Luthe makes the stop. How has he not scored today?!
85'

SANCHO!

Lovely footwork from the Englishman. He runs from deep to collect Reus's pass, jinks inside and curls goalwards on his left foot, only for a deflection to take it wide.

HAALAND!

Dortmund waste another big change. Sancho lifts a ball over the top for Reus. He helps it into the box for Haaland, whose rocket of a shot grazes the top of the bar. His eye isn't in today!
73'

TREBLE CHANGE

Fresh legs for Union, with Pohjanpalo and Teuchert on in attack, and Schlotterbeck replacing Knoch in defence. Seconds before that change, Hummels was booked after going through the back of Musa. He'll now miss the game against Wolfsburg at the weekend.
67'

POST!

Reus isn't happy as Union are awarded a free-kick in a central position, 20 yards from goal. Kruse steps up, and bends an effort against the woodwork. Luckily for Dortmund, the red shirts in the vicinity don't react fast enough to the loose ball.
64'

OFF THE LINE!

Sancho's involved as Guerreiro dances towards the by-line. He cuts the ball back to the six-yard box for Reyna, whose first-time effort is cleared off the line.

POSITIVE CHANGES

Endo started well for Union, but he's been pretty subdued since Dortmund went ahead. BVB introduce Sancho, who hasn't played since the 2 March, and the in-form Dahoud. Hazard and Can make way.

Substitution

51'

REYNA!

Reyna's played in on the angle of the six-yard box. He goes for a delicate chipped effort over the advancing Luthe, but it drops comfortably wide of the far post. Will Dortmund be made to rue these missed chances?
50'

CLOSE!

Marco Reus pings a peach of a free-kick into the six-yard box. Akanji rises, but he's under pressure and can't make contact on the jump.
48'

TABLE TALK

Dortmund will move back to within four points of the Champions League places, if they can see this out. Wolfsburg - who lead Stuttgart 2-0 - are going third. Four rounds of fixtures remaining after this, remember.

ADVANTAGE DORTMUND

Marco Reus's goal is all that separates the two sides, though Dortmund will feel they should have scored one or two more.

HAALAND!

Reyna slides a ball into the path of Haaland, who's only about 10 yards from goal - dead central. He goes for a fancy outside-of-the-boot finish, though, and it's straight at Luthe's right shin. Either side of the keeper, and he'd have scored.

MUSA!

Union go straight up the other end with Musa, who fires into the side-netting. Should have hit the target, not that it would have counted. Ingvartsen was in an offside position when he played the pass.
28'

DORTMUND LEAD!

There's a lengthy VAR review after Reus goes to ground in the box under Luthe's challenge. Haaland steps up to take once the penalty's given, but Luthe makes the save. The BVB striker gets a second bite of the cherry, though, with his deflected follow-up squirming towards the goal-line, where Reus is on hand to prod home.

HAALAND FREE

Guerreiro pings a ball into the box for Haaland, but his attempted volley - with his heel - doesn't come off.
16'

REYNA!

Andrich tries everything to stop Haaland, but the BVB wrecking ball barrels away unscathed. He feeds Reyna, who lashes low and hard towards the bottom corner. Luthe dives full stretch to push it away. Dortmund are getting closer.
15'

HAZARD!

Hazard darts inside, before lashing towards goal on his left foot. Luthe can only parry, but Haaland - under pressure from a red shirt - can't apply the all-important touch. Dortmund are stamping their authority on this one now.
10'

REUS!

Dortmund so close to taking the lead as Hazard drives into the box and finds Reus. He swipes for goal, but doesn't quite catch it right and the ball trickles wide. Luthe was beaten all the same.

UNION IN CONTROL

Really positive from Union. They're dictating the play in Dortmund.

OFF THE BAR!

My, oh, my! Can plays the ball straight to Ingvartsen on the edge of his own area. The Union attacker hits it first time and crashes the ball off the crossbar! The match was barely 25 seconds old! Union come again soon after with Endo, who shanks wide. Great start by the visitors!
Kick-off!

HEAVY METAL!

Chugging guitars, double kick drum - it can only mean one thing. Dortmund are in the tunnel and about to take to the pitch at the Signal Iduna Park...

HIGHLIGHTS: DORTMUND 4-1 BREMEN

Dortmund came from behind to thrash Werder at the weekend, with Haaland ending a two-game mini drought. The Norwegian stuck away his 49th and 50th competitive goals for BVB. It was his ninth single-match multiple of the current league campaign.

HIGHLIGHTS: UNION 2-1 STUTTGART

Petar Musa opened his Bundesliga account last time out as Union extended their unbeaten run to three. The capital club have only lost one of their last eight league games (W3, D4).

KRUSE: UNION'S MAIN MAN

Max Kruse is Union's top scorer this season with 10 goals in just 17 matches, meaning he has found the back of the net once every 131 minutes. The former Germany international has put away four goals since returning from a 10-week injury lay-off in late February - as many as he's scored in 17 career meetings with Dortmund.

WATCH: THE HAALANDATOR

Haaland has scored 23 Bundesliga goals this season, and 36 in 39 league games since moving to Dortmund in January 2020. BVB's No.9 has also struck twice or more in nine matches so far this term following his brace against Werder.

WHAT THEY'RE SAYING - FISCHER

"To focus on [Erling] Haaland alone, would be wrong. The Dortmund squad has a lot of quality. We need a perfect performance to get something from the game."

WHAT THEY'RE SAYING - TERZIC

"Union are having a fantastic season. In Urs Fischer, they have a coach who gets the maximum out of his team. They're very difficult to beat. We're not the only Bundesliga team to have experienced that. It's going to be a tough battle."

EURO RAT RACE

Dortmund are five points adrift of the UEFA Champions League places, with fourth-in-the-table Wolfsburg also in action at Stuttgart. Eintracht Frankfurt are two points better off in third following their win over Augsburg on Tuesday. Union are eighth, only three points behind the top six.

HIGHLIGHTS: UNION 2-1 DORTMUND

MORE ON THOSE TEAMS

Edin Terzic makes three changes to the team that beat Bremen 4-1 on Sunday. Lukasz Piszczek is preferred to Mateu Morey at right-back, Emre Can replaces Mahmoud Dahoud in central midfield, while Thorgan Hazard comes in for Julian Brandt on the left-hand side of the attack. Dortmund's interim coach can also welcome back Jadon Sancho to the bench following injury. Urs Fischer makes one change following the 2-1 victory over Stuttgart, with defender Nico Schlotterbeck making way for attacking midfielder Marcus Ingvartsen, as part of a switch from a three- to four-man defence.
