In the second half Haaland doubled Dortmund’s lead with a retaken penalty, after having a goal chalked off minutes earlier in a VAR-dominated five minutes.

Youssef En-Nesyri later pulled one back with a penalty for Sevilla midway through the second half, and then grabbed another six minutes into injury time to give Dortmund a tense finish.
Dortmund have recently slipped to sixth in the Bundesliga, but still have a chance of silverware in both the Champions League and the DFB-Pokal.
