00:00The yellow wall greets the yellow submarine, a spectacular sight to usher in a new Champions League season.
00:07An 11th in a row for the former winners, Borussia Dortmund, a famous home dazzling and vibrant for the visit
00:15of Villarreal.
00:16Two-time semi-finalist in the competition, Terhukirassi scored twice in the win over Villarreal here last season,
00:22and tonight makes his 100th competitive appearance for the club.
00:26The debut for veteran goalkeeper Petr Galerci back in Germany where he spent 11 years with Leipzig.
00:32There's the first appearance of the season for Pao Navarro at the back.
00:37Dortmund a sea of yellow tonight, but it's the visitors Villarreal in the change kit in the white who get
00:43the action underway.
00:47He didn't score away from home in the league phase in the entirety of last season.
00:52Buchanan delivers the corner and that one flashes all the way across the face of goal.
00:59Santiago Mourinho, Tejon Buchanan, Buchanan!
01:03And the goalkeeper reacted to get it at the second time of Eski.
01:13Svensson, nearly for Bayern, is it going to come for Girassi? It did!
01:17And Gulecci rewarded for being alert to the danger there.
01:21The only Dortmund player in that situation, but he survived the scare, he won the ball,
01:27and the referee brings the first half to its conclusion with nothing to separate the sides.
01:34Nothing separating them yet.
01:37But Dortmund will certainly feel that they were building some momentum before the break.
01:42Now here's Felix Metzsche picking up possession in a really useful position.
01:46When Yeri tried to turn, gets the shot away, and he's really unlucky to see it come back off the
01:51post
01:51with Gulecci being a fraction away from a first Dortmund goal,
01:57although it actually, I think, brushed off Gulecci on the way through.
02:04Inside of him is Bayer.
02:07Around Mourinho and delivers, and then it hits Renato Vega and goes in.
02:13And Borussia Dortmund make the breakthrough.
02:16Frustration for Villarreal, particularly over the...
02:20And looks for Nicola Pepe, and that's an awkward one for Svensson.
02:24It will reach Pepe, brings it under control.
02:27Svensson trying to prevent the shot from coming in, did so initially.
02:31And then there was just a touch on it to help it over the top, off the defender.
02:40And he'll touch it short.
02:43Heavily involved since he came on as Pepe.
02:45He's the one that picks the pass, good start.
02:54Vigarreal corner, flicked on, and in.
02:58And they've got the equalising goal.
03:00Santiago Mourinho wheeling away in celebration.
03:03It comes from the set piece.
03:11Dortmund will have to try and do it all over again,
03:13but instead it's Mikael Tadza and all sorts of options here for Villarreal to try and turn it around.
03:20Buchanan's effort brings a fine save from Koppel,
03:23who all of a sudden is getting busier and busier.
03:27And having just been beaten by the header from the set piece,
03:31he was needed to stop the damage from being doubled.
03:35Dortmund caught cold, really, caught short, certainly.
03:40But for Koppel they would have been punished by the boot of Buchanan.
03:47Villarreal are finding their threat and some.
03:57Have lessons been learned by Dortmund from the corner.
04:00Well, they'll try something different this time.
04:02Buchanan straight through to Koppel on this occasion.
04:05Heavily involved right up until the moment he did.
04:07But here come Dortmund again.
04:09And there is Fabio Silva bringing the save from Galenzi at full stretch.
04:14The Portuguese only just on.
04:19Oh, Bellingham.
04:21That's a really good ball for Fabio Silva.
04:23Gaurasi!
04:28Dortmund back in front.
04:31And Serhu Gaurasi's got his goal on his wall.
04:34Here he goes again.
04:40This is Fabio Silva in space to try and settle it.
04:43Super save Galenzi.
04:45That's a stunning stop.
04:48Because that was heading for the far corner.
04:51It was Pal Navarro that had been caught in possession there.
04:55Fabio Silva so sharp and onto it.
04:58And didn't do a lot wrong with it.
05:00But credit the goalkeeper.
05:02Gaurasi got down brilliantly.
05:05Might just have kept his team in some sort of contention here with that.
05:12It's going to be Navarro's last contribution, actually.
05:15He's coming off.
05:17Gerard Moreno, the club captain, their record goal scorer.
05:22Scored in the Europa League final against Manchester United in that famous victory which secured their first ever major trophy.
05:31He is on to try and get them back in this.
05:34But it's Dortmund still pressing with the Reherson corner.
05:37And the referee saves penalty.
05:41Produces the yellow car but more importantly hair points to the spot as Simone Sosa.
05:47And this could be the chance to settle the issue after all.
05:50There was a lot going on when that came in.
05:53It's one for Daniele Tifi, the video assistant.
05:57Roberto Rossetti, the UEFA refereeing chief, has been instigating a process across the continent to try and ensure consistency.
06:08And the check did not take too long.
06:12It will be a penalty kick Dortmund.
06:15And the chance to put some daylight between the teams.
06:29Confirmation that he was yellow-carded as well.
06:30Santiago Mourinho in the concession of the penalty there.
06:33He's the player that did get his side back on terms.
06:36But if this goes in from Gerasi, it will be perhaps a mere footnote in the overall story.
06:42Gerasi, who had a penalty saved in this fixture last season but scored from the rebound.
06:47He was up against Lewis Jr. then.
06:48It's Galassi tonight.
06:50To try and stand in his way.
06:53Gerasi with a powerful penalty.
06:55His second goal of the night in quick succession.
06:59Two in five minutes for Dortmund's number nine.
07:02And 3-1, Borussia Dortmund.
07:09Bellingham down after picking the pass.
07:12But he did find Fabio Silva with it.
07:14And he's still going again here.
07:16Fabio Silva denied once more by Galassi.
07:18It's another really strong hand.
07:24He's the one that's conceded the free kick here.
07:26Nicola Pepe will take it for Villarreal.
07:29Whips it in.
07:30And it is in, surely.
07:33Well, it's not quite done yet.
07:38It's another scrappy goal.
07:41But it's one that gives Villarreal some hope in stoppage time.
07:45Came from the Nicola Pepe free kick.
07:49And Gerasi once again in the thick of things.
07:52This time trying to help out his defence.
07:56Gerard Moreno.
07:57Bellingham with him.
07:59Moreno delivers.
08:00Anton hasn't dealt with it.
08:01It's...
08:02Oh!
08:04Clashing across the face of goal.
08:06And just missing that far post.
08:08Renato Vega nearly did come up with a goal at the other end.
08:13Well, this is some script in stoppage time.
08:18And it's the most dramatic moment still to come.
08:21Because Galassi is up.
08:24Last chance, surely, for Villarreal to improbably pinch a point.
08:29That's...
08:30Good-place delivery.
08:33Didn't really ask the questions that he needed to.
08:36And Dortmund will settle for that.
08:38It might be the last action.
08:40Referee having a look at the watch.
08:41What a frantic conclusion to the contest.
08:45What a second half this has been.
08:50No wonder it's all...
08:53really beginning to boil over.
08:55But that is that.
08:56That's the full-time whistle.
08:57And Borussia Dortmund are relieved to hear it.
