Dortmund opened scoring mid-way into the first half. Marcel Sabitzer provided Niclas Fullkrug with a nice pass inside the box. It allowed him to finish with a precise effort under the bar.
Just before the first half, a header by Joelinton from very close range went towards the top left corner, but did not get past Gregor Kobel, who made a brilliant save.
