Full-time: Gladbach 1-2 Dortmund

Dortmund hold on to win an engaging battle of the Borussias. After a bold first-half performance gave them the lead with Marcel Sabitzer's brace, the visitors had to sit deep after Karim Adeyemi was sent off ten minutes into the restart but soaked up Gladbach's late attacking efforts to remain in the hunt for the top four.

Penalty overturned

Marcel Sabitzer converted a penalty tidily to seemingly complete a hat-trick, only for the referee to communicate a VAR check on the penalty was ongoing - and it was decided that no penalty should be awarded, and therefore the goal doesn't stand.

Goal probability

Goal probability determines the likelihood that the ball will land in the goal from every position on the pitch. The value is based on large amounts of data from previous years; factors such as shot angle, distance to goal and opponent pressure - as well as mathematical models.

10 %

Distance to Goal

The distance to goal is measured at the time of the shot - from the position of the ball to the center of the goal.

Ball Recovery Time

Ball Recovery Time gives the time in seconds in which it takes a team to win back the ball following a loss of possession. It also allows conclusions to be drawn about a team's style of play. Only time when the ball is in play is counted (i.e. no breaks in play such as for goal-kicks, throw-ins etc).

The visitors take the lead with a clinical move. Nico Schlotterbeck chips the ball forward behind the defence for Marcel Sabitzer to chase, and the Austrian allows the ball to bounce a couple of times before lashing a shot across Omlin's goal and straight in!

Terzić's thoughts on Gladbach

"We are currently only focusing on Gladbach. From Sunday, we'll focus on the second leg against Atlético. But now our focus is clearly on tomorrow's game. It will be a tough task. They have always been able to secure victories against top teams, especially in their home games. They beat VfB Stuttgart this season. We've been warned."

Seoane's thoughts on Dortmund

"The fact BVB played in the Champions League on Wednesday evening is perhaps a small advantage for us. However, I assume that Dortmund will make one or two changes on Saturday. They have a lot of quality at their disposal to be able to make these changes. However, the structure and style of play of our opponents are much more important for our considerations. We have an idea of what approach they will take at the weekend."
