Both teams had a cagey first 45 minutes, with neither side looking threatening in the final third.

However, they managed to burst into the scene after the interval, with Dortmund taking a surprise lead in the 56th minute through Jude Bellingham, who nodded home past Ederson after he was set up by Marco Reus.

Haaland completed the turnaround in a dramatic fashion four minutes later, leaping acrobatically to steer the ball home with a preposterously outstretched foot to make it 2-1.
