Quarter-final ticket is secured Dortmund pulls its head out of the noose after Kobel's mega-buck

Borussia Dortmund are through to the quarter-finals of the Champions League. The Borussians fall behind after a lapse by keeper Gregor Kobel, but strike back in the 2nd half.

The Bundesliga's tenth-placed side shook off their league frustration in the top flight and produced one of their best displays of the season in northern France. They were not even fazed by going behind early on.

Despite numerous top-class chances, Niko Kovac's team failed to score in the first half. After the break, however, the superior Germans were rewarded for their efforts. First, captain Emre Can scored from the spot (54') after a foul penalty was harshly whistled by Swiss referee Sandro Schärer, then Maximilian Beier scored under the crossbar (65').

Dortmund then defended their lead skillfully. Only once did the visitors really get into trouble. Kobel made up for the mistake he had made when going behind early on, making a strong save from goalscorer Jonathan David.

BVB will face FC Barcelona in the quarter-finals. Last year's finalists lost 3-2 to the Catalans in the league phase.
