As for the UEFA Champions League, titleholders Real Madrid were visiting Dortmund in Group F, and looking to create some separation at the top of the pool. Both teams won their openers two weeks ago, but Los Blancos have not enjoyed much success in Germany lately. The Spanish club having just four wins in 30 matches in the country, including three straight defeats at BVB's home stadium.

Pierre Emerick Aubameyang hoping to extend that streak against Cristiano Ronaldo and company.

CR-7 with an early free-kick for the 11-time European champs, but Roman Buerki makes a great stop. Karim Benzema chests the rebound off the post. It remains scoreless after 3 minutes.

Then it's the Black and Gold's turn, but Keylor Navas parries away the attempt by Gonzalo Castro in the 5th. The Costa Rican's save matching his Swiss counterpart's.

The visitors on the attack in the 17th. Ronaldo buries the pass from Gareth Bale, and it's 1-nil Real Madrid. That's CR-7's 95th Champions League goal.

Dortmund trying to equalize. Navas doesn't fully clear the ball, and Aubameyang takes advantage. The keeper's save caroming off Raphael Varane, and the Gabonese striker taps the ball over the line. That leave things at 1-all in the 43rd minute.

Second half now. Ronaldo with a long cross to Benzema, who would hit the crossbar. But Varane drills the rebound, and it's 2-1 Los Blancos. Buerki surrounded by white kits, and the visitors retake the lead.

But 3 minutes from time, Ousmane Dembele makes a long run for the hosts, before picking out Andre Schuerrle. The German's half-volley eludes Navas at a high and tight angle, as BVB make it 2-all. Schuerrle's 42nd goal in European competition would stand up as the final of this match. Dortmund making sure Real Madrid's latest trip to Germany, ends in disappointing fashion.
