FT: Borussia Dortmund 1-3 Real Madrid

Real Madrid create history as they beat Borussia Dortmund at the Westfalenstadion for the first time.

Aubameyang grabbed a goal back soon after, but Ronaldo ended the contest with 10 minutes to go with his second of the night. Real Madrid lead the way in Group H, with Borussia Dortmund now facing a daunting ask of qualifying after having lost both their games so far.

90+2' SAVE!! Toni Kroos sends in a delicious cross from the right corner and finds Ramos. The Madrid captain responds with a bullet header across goal, only for Burki to stretch out a firm hand to deny him!

90+1' Dani Ceballos comes on to replace Luka Modric, who trudges off rather slowly.

90' 2 minutes of injury time

89' Smart keeping! Marco Asensio runs clear down the middle after Piszczek gives the ball away, and is faced by Burki, who charges off his line to close down the angle and smother Asensio's shot!

88' It's gotten a bit stale from Dortmund at the moment, as they are unable to pierce Madrid's deep, defensive block. A hopeful cross from Weigl is headed wide by Piszczek

85' Bale walks off a bit gingerly and is replaced by Lucas Vazquez

84' Toni Kroos plays the ball out of play as Gareth Bale has gone down injured.

79' EMPHATIC FROM RONALDO! Luka Modric sends Ronaldo clear down the right wing and from a narrow angle he hammers a powerful drive past Burki at the near post. Unstoppable!

Borussia Dortmund 1-3 Real Madrid

79' GOOOAL CRISTIANO RONALDOOOO!

78' CLOSE! Lovely one touch football from Asensio and Ramos results in the latter attempting a through ball for Bale down the middle, but it is agonizingly overhit, allowing Dortmund to clear.

76' Christian Pulisic comes on to replace Mario Gotze, with Marco Asensio replacing Isco for Real Madrid.

75' SAVE! Varane gets out of jail with a lovely mazy run down the middle, before spreading it wide to Isco on the left, who cuts inside and forces Burki into a save at the near post with a low drive.

72' Ramos is caught out of positon and Dahoud has the chance to find Aubameyang with a regulation pass, but overhits it, with groans ringing out in the stadium!

70' Lovely football! Ronaldo is found in space on the right, and fakes a shot, to pass to Carvajal on the overlap, but his chipped cross to the far post cannot find a Madrid shirt!

68' Replays show that Bale was clipped, but the defender had gotten his toe to the ball. A correct decision from the referee then...

67' SO CLOSE! Gotze with another magical lofted pass finds Aubameyang making a darting run to the near post, but the Gabonese striker only manages to toe poke the ball wide!

66' Borussia Dortmund look favourites to score at the moment, with the hosts now having 52% of the possession overall, a huge improvement from the first half.

64' WAS THAT A PENALTY?! Seconds after Nacho makes a goal-saving tackle, Bale is sent clear on the counter attack, but goes down under pressure in the box, only for the ref to wave the Welshman's appeals away.

63' Julian Weigl goes into the book for a crude foul on Cristiano Ronaldo

62' SO LUCKY! Yarmolenko sends Castro clear down the right with a clever disguised pass for the midfielder's diagonal run, and he runs past Navas, only to leave the ball trailing behind him for Navas to collect.

60' Julian Weigl and Mahmoud Dahoud come on for Nuri Sahin and Jeremy Toljan.

58' SAVE! Toni Kroos whips in a measured free-kick from the right wing, finding Nacho's noggin at the far post, but Burki positions himself well to collect the header from close range

56' CLOSE! Dortmund are back alive in this contest! The stadium is well and truly rocking now, as Toljan sends in a low cross that causes its fair share of panic, only for Navas to dive in and collect the ball.

54' WELL THAT CAME OUT OF NOWHERE! Castro whips in a cross from the left wing and Aubameyang shows all the instincts of a predator to nip in ahead of Ramos and volley the ball into the net!

Borussia Dortmund 1-2 Real Madrid

54' GOOOAL AUBAMEYANG!!

53' Omer Toprak goes into the book for clattering into Isco from behind. No arguments there.

51' The Yellow Wall is still singing to their credit, but there's an air of despondency as Dortmund pass the ball around at the back without any urgency. It seems Zinedine Zidane's side is all set to become the first ever Real Madrid side to win at the Westfalenstadion.

49' THE GOAL 'DROUGHT' IS OVER! Toni Kroos sends Gareth Bale clear down the left wing, and he outpaces Sokratis, before sending in a peach of a low cross for Cristiano Ronaldo to tap in from the penalty spot!

Borussia Dortmund 0-2 Real Madrid

49' GOOOAAAL RONALDOOO!

48' This is still an end-to-end game, as Modric leads a counter attack down the right, sending a cross to Isco on the opposite wing, whose attempted through ball to Ronaldo is picked up by Burki.

46' WHAT A CLEARANCE! Gotze spies Yarmolenko making a clever diagonal run down the right and finds him with a gorgeous chipped pass. The winger heads the ball back towards Aubameyang at the far post, but Varane sticks out a leg to clear if away from danger!

46' PEEEEP! Real Madrid get us underway in the second half, kicking off from right to left in their all white kits!

The players are back out onto the pitch for the second half - Will it be as exciting as the first? Stay tuned, as kickoff is coming up next!

Meanwhile in the other game in Group H, Tottenham Hotspur lead APOEL Nicosia by a solitary goal - no prizes for guessing the scorer - Harry Kane. As it stands, Madrid and Spurs lead the group with 6 points each, with Dortmund now about to face a daunting task of qualifying.

Well, it may be Ronaldo's landmark appearance, but all the talk is about Gareth Bale's stunning strike! Is this the moment where his Madrid career turns around? Or is it another false dawn.

Either way, the second half is coming up soon. Stay tuned!

HT: Borussia Dortmund 0-1 Real Madrid

45+1' HOW DID HE MISS?! Toni Kroos sends in a peach of a delivery from the left corner and it finds Ramos is space in the box, but he glaces his header wide with the goal at his mercy. Unbelievable!

45' 1 minute of added time.

44' BLOCK! Toni Kroos chases a cushioned header from Bale and sets off on the counter, spreading it wide to Ronaldo on the right. The Portuguese star cuts inside on his left foot and looks to have dummied two defenders and then lets fly, only for Toprak to find himself in the way. Moments later Ronaldo has a similar chance in the box, but shoots wide of the near post with a low drive.

41' Yarmolenko sends in a tempting ball in from the left corner, with Philipp attempting an audacious overhead kick that's...well it wasn't good.

40' Aubameyang sends the free-kick straight into the wall, with the ball going out for a throw in - not his night so far. However, Yarmolenko is full of endeavour and earns a corner of Nacho a minute later.

40' Luka Modric goes into the book for not retreating quickly enough as Dortmund lined up a free kick in a promising position.

38' OFF THE POST! After a couple of panicked clearances, the ball falls to Aubameyang in the box, and he toe pokes the ball past Navas, only to watch in agony as it hits the outside of the post. To spare him his blushes, the offside flag is up!

36' What a waste. Peter Bosz looks rather unhappy as Sahin has all the time and space in midfield to send in a cross to the numerous yellow shirts in the box, but opts to shoot, sending a wild effort into Row Z.

33' CRUCIAL INTERCEPTION! Casemiro loses the ball in midfield and the ball makes its way to Gotze, who finds Aubameyang bearing down in goal on the edge of the box. The Gabonese striker's first touch is a tad heavy, which allows Carvajal to rush in and make a crucial clearance!

32' The Yellow Wall scream for a penalty as Philipp and Carvajal engage in a drag race down the left wing, only for the Spanish fullback's hefty shoulders to guide the youngster out of the way. The ref isn't listening to the crowd anytime soon...

30' Aubameyang's Madrid audition isn't going too well at the moment. Gotze finds the Gabonese striker with just Ramos to beat, but despite twisting and turning multiple times, he's unable to get away from the Madrid captain.

29' Gareth Bale goes into the book for elbowing Sokratis (I'm not about to type his surname) while challenging for an aerial ball.Didn't seem deliberate at all and the Welshman can consider himself unlucky.
