DAHOUD!!!!
Moments after Hrustic fires over from range for Frankfurt, Dortmund forge ahead for the first time. Hinteregger stops Haaland in his tracks, but pokes the ball to Dahoud in the process. He sets himself, before bending through a ruck of Eintracht shirts and to the left of Trapp's despairing dive. A good 18 yards out - that's some strike from the holding midfielder!
88'
BELLINGHAM EQUALISES!
Dortmund hit back from 2-0 to level! Reus's pass to Haaland is bundled out to Meunier on the right. He swings a cross into the box, where Bellingham rises unmarked to head past Trapp. There are bookings on both sides in the ensuing melee - can BVB go on and win this thing?
82'
BORRE ON A HAT-TRICK
Frankfurt aim long for Borre. He has the beating of Can, but Hummels pokes it away from the Colombian. In doing so, the Dortmund defender almost toes past the on-rushing Kobel, who sticks out a boot to deflect the ball behind.
79'
REINFORCEMENT
Oliver Glasner bolsters his defence with the introduction of veteran Makoto Hasebe. Japanese countryman Daichi Kamada - an attacker - makes way.

Substitution
77'
MALEN!
Malen beats three players, before drawing a smart save from Trapp, down to his left, from a tight angle. Can Dortmund get a late leveller?
76'
PENALTY SHOUT
A whiff of a Frankfurt penalty as Kamada goes to ground under Can's challenge, but nothing's given.
73'
DOUBLE CHANCE
Haaland stings the palms of Trapp at the Frankfurt keeper's near post. He's first to the ensuing corner, but doesn't make the desired connection and glances his header wide.
71'
HAZARD PULLS ONE BACK!
Dortmund get a goal that has been coming. Reus plays a direct pass into the feet of Haaland. He spots the run of Hazard to his left, who holds off Chandler's challenge and fires under Trapp. Game on!
70'
HAALAND CHANCE!
Dortmund shift the ball quickly. Malen, who's been one of their best outlets, collects and delivers a low cross into the penalty area, where Haaland scoops over.
68'
OFF TARGET
Reus runs at the Frankfurt defence, and feeds Guerreiro darting towards the 18-yard area. It's a half chance for the Portugal international, but he can't find the target.
66'
DOUBLE CHANGE
Jakic - a doubt before the game after a bout of covid - replaces Rode. Atalanta loanee Sam Lammers also gets a run-out, at the the expense of the effervescent Lindstrom, in a move that will likely see Borre take up a slightly deeper role.

HAZARD ON
That's Brandt's last action of a fairly subdued showing by his recent standards. Hazard's on in the BVB attack.

BRANDT!
Better from Dortmund. Malen's cross is deflected into the path of Reus. He touches it off to Brandt, who bends wide of the far post from inside the area.
62'
HAALAND!
Haaland does receive a pass into the box from Guerreiro, on this occasion. He hits it first time, but fires wide of Trapp's left-hand post.

OVER!
Kostic draws the foul from Meunier, down by the corner flag. He plays the free-kick low towards Hrustic on the edge of the box, but the Australian can't keep his first-time shot down.
48'
DENIED!
Frankfurt are in again early in this second half. Lindstrom nutmegs Can to go one-on-one with Kobel, who makes himself very big to deny a certain goal.

SIDE NETTING!
Dahoud misplaces a pass intended for Guerreiro in the centre of midfield. Lindstrom picks it off and tears away, before firing into the side netting. Borre, on a hat-trick, was unmarked in the middle.
33'
BELLINGHAM THREAT
Malen gets in behind the Frankfurt defence, and cuts a ball back for Bellingham. He waltzes his way into the box, but his shot is blocked behind for a corner that comes to nothing.
31'
OFF THE POST!
Dortmund are living very dangerously as N'Dicka heads against the woodwork. Kobel was beaten.

WASTED
Haaland leads a three-on-two break, but delays his pass. When he does release the ball to Reus, it lacks the necessary precision, and Frankfurt can clear.
24'
BORRE AGAIN!
Dortmund ship a second Frankfurt goal! Kostic is the architect with another probing ball into the danger zone. It wriggles away from Kamada, but Reus inadvertently keeps the chance alive. Borre takes full advantage, driving into the bottom corner for his second of the contest.
22'
FRANKFURT BREAK
Kostic leads the charge for Eintracht, and finds Lindstrom on the right-hand side of the area. The Dane stands up Hummels, but the angle's tight and Kobel's out to smother.
19'
KOSTIC!
The Eagles have the wind in their sails as Kamada tees up Kostic for a shot from 18 yards. He catches it well, his low strike forcing Kobel to dive full stretch to push behind.
16'
FRANKFURT STRIKE FIRST!
One chance, one goal for Frankfurt. Kostic bends in a free-kick from the left. Borre runs across Bellingham and steers home from the edge of the six-yard box, despite the best efforts of Kobel.

SCUFFED
Haaland with two half chances in quick succession. His first from Brandt's in-swinging corner is blocked. Malen whips the ball back over with interest, but Dortmund's No.9 scuffs his second attempt wide on his weaker right foot.
5'
HAALAND!
Brandt's quick pass sends Malen away down the Dortmund right. Haaland collects the cross on the edge of the area, holds it up and stings the palms of Trapp. Encouraging stuff from BVB.
2'
WHAT A SAVE!
Dortmund almost get off to a flier. Hummels rakes a long ball into the feet of Meunier. He races into the box and drives an effort towards the top corner, but Trapp pushes it onto the upright at full stretch.

THE BALL'S ROLLING
And snow is falling in Frankfurt. Can Dortmund cut the gap to the top to six points, following Bayern's loss to Gladbach?

HEAD-TO-HEAD
Dortmund may hold the upper hand historically in this fixture, winning 46 of the 97 Bundesliga meetings to date (31 Frankfurt wins and 20 draws), but the Eagles are a force to be reckoned with on home turf against BVB. They are unbeaten in their last seven league games against the Black-and-Yellows in Frankfurt (W3 D4).
