Erling Haaland fired Borussia Dortmund into the DFB Cup quarter-finals on Tuesday, although his side had to survive a scare against Bundesliga 2 outfit Paderborn, who sent the game into extra time before BVB eventually triumphed 3-2.

Borussia Dortmund 3-2 Paderborn
Goals: 1-0 Can (6'), 2-0 Sancho (16'), 2-1 Justvan (79'), 2-2 Owusu (pen. 90'+7), 3-2 Haaland (95')

Mats Hummels was out with a slight knee injury and Marco Reus, Raphael Guerreiro and Gio Reyna were all on the bench at kick-off, but the home side soon began to exert their dominance and put their visitors on the back foot. It wasn’t long before their pressure took its toll, as Can rifled in at the back post after Paderborn failed to clear their lines at a corner. Sancho doubled BVB’s lead with just over a quarter of an hour on the clock when he collected Julian Brandt’s pass in a central position, held off his marker and prodded past goalkeeper Leopold Zingerle from close range. Brandt and Thomas Delaney both went close to adding their names to the  scoresheet, while at the other end Marwin Hitz was largely a spectator, although he did have to be alert to keep out a powerful angled shot from Christopher Antwi-Adjei.

Dortmund appeared to have the game under control at that stage, and while they failed to maintain their superiority in the second half, they were rarely threatened by Paderborn as fouls and substitutions interrupted the flow of the game. The tie sparked back into life in the closing stages though when Julian Justvan pulled a goal back from the edge of the box. The visitors pushed for an equaliser but Haaland thought he had killed the game off with a strike on the counter in added time, but it was chalked off following a VAR review and Paderborn awarded a penalty for a foul by Felix Passlack in the build-up. Substitute Prince Osei Owusu converted from the spot with the last kick of the game to send the match into extra time. Both teams tired as the clock ticked on, but Haaland won it for BVB after collecting Delaney's long ball forward and slotting past Zingerle to ensure the 2017 cup winners will be in the quarter-final draw.

Match stats

• Dortmund were knocked out in the last 16 in each of the last three seasons since winning their fourth DFB Cup under Thomas Tuchel in 2016/17.
• BVB beat Bundesliga 2 strugglers Eintracht Braunschweig 2-0 in the previous round, and put five without reply past third division outfit Duisburg in the first.
• Haaland's only previous goal in two DFB Cup appearances came in last season's last-16 defeat to Werder Bremen.
• Paderborn held Dortmund to a 3-3 draw on their last trip to the Signal Iduna Park - having led 3-0 at half-time but were beaten 6-1 on home soil. Their previous DFB Cup meeting ended in a 7-1 defeat, in the 2015/16 second round.
• Hünemeier is a product of the Dortmund youth system. He went on to make 150 appearances for the second team, but only five in the Bundesliga with the seniors.
