Dortmund win their first corner but Sissoko heads it away. Dortmund continue to press though and Sancho is allowed to put a cross into the box aiming for Alcacer but Alderweireld clears the danger.
8 mins: Dortmund 0 - 0 Tottenham
Vertonghen and Sanchez are put under pressure on Tottenham's left side, Sanchez gets the ball away but only as far as Diallo who pushes Dortmund forward again.
7 mins: Real Madrid 0 - 1 Ajax - Ziyech (2-2 agg)
Hakim Ziyech gives the visitors the lead at the Bernabeu with a left footed shot from the centre of the box after Dusan Tadic put it into Madrid's area.
Game on in Madrid.
12 mins: Dortmund 0 - 0 Tottenham
He does it again. Jan Vertonghen steps up for Spurs and makes a last minute sliding tackle as Reus breaks into the box and looks to unleash a powerful shot that would certainly have sent the home side into the lead.
Great work from the Tottenham man but Dortmund look really threatening.
15 mins: Dortmund 0 - 0 Tottenham
The first 15 minutes belong to Dortmund but the match remains goalless. Tottenham look very compact and are allowing Dortmund to run forward with the ball.
Alcacer runs onto a ball that comes in over the top, he runs off the shoulder of Sanchez wins the ball and flicks it over the bar. A flag from the linesman signals that he was offside anyway.
18 mins: Real Madrid 0 - 2 Ajax - Neres (2-3 agg)
Dusan Tadic delivers another quality ball into the box for Ajax. It's David Neres who recieves it this time and his cool right footed shot from the six yard box sends Ajax in front.
Will history be made at the Bernabeu? Ajax have the lead and have eradicated the two away goals from Real Madrid.
21 mins: Dortmund 0 - 0 Tottenham
Lloris makes a decent save as Marco Reus runs into space on the left side of the box. He takes a shot that gets deflected but Lloris is able to parry it up and then catch hold of the ball.
24 mins: Dortmund 0 - 0 Tottenham
Diallo guides himself and the ball into the penalty box from the left wing before pulling it back to an oncoming Mario Gotze. Gotze drills his shot first time but it is blocked. There's little for Tottenham's fans to cheer in terms of attack, not that they'd be heard as Dortmund's fans cheering are very, very loudly.
27 mins: Dortmund 0 - 0 Tottenham
Dortmund quickly push the ball out to the right hand side as Sancho gives the ball to Wolf. Wolf tries to put a dangerous ball into the six-yard box but hits it too close to Lloris and the Tottenham goalkeeper claims the ball.
30 mins: Dortmund 0 - 0 Tottenham
Aurier limps off the pitch after a tough collision but he takes his time doing so. He comes back on to a chorus of boos from the Dortmund crowd, Tottenham lose the ball on the halfway line but win it back quickly and Kane plays Son in behind Wolf. As he reaches the 18-yard box he takes his shot with the outside of his right foot and sends it wide. Tottenham's best chance so far this half.
