The last game in the Last-16 as Dortmund get things underway against Monterrey.

1' BVB 0-0 CFM

Karim Adeyemi is clean on through but his first touch lets him down as he is tackled by Arteaga and wins a corner for his side.

4' BVB 0-0 CFM

Scrappy game this, with many fouls from either sides. None of the sides have able to get a grip on this match so far.

7' BVB 0-0 CFM

Monterrey have their first shot on target via Nelson Deossa who shoots it from long range but Kobel collects it coolly. It comes after Daniel Svensson concedes a corner for Dortmund and Monterrey take it short.

11' BVB 0-0 CFM

Serhou Guirassy at it again!!! The Dortmund forward nails it in to give his side a 1-0 lead. The Guinea international plays a lovely one-two with Adeyemi at the edge of the box before slipping in unmarked and beating Andrada at the near post.

14' BVB 1-0 CFM

Great fightback from Monterrey after going a goal down. Nelson Deossa has another shot on target from long way out. CFM not giving up despite a goal down.

17' BVB 1-0 CFM

It's that combination again! Serhou Guirassy and Karim Adeyemi combine as the duo give BVB a 2-0 lead in the Last-16 tie. Game over?

24' BVB 2-0 CFM

Jude would not be happy with that! His brother Jobe brings down Nelson Deossa as the Englishman receives a booking and if BVB win tonight, Jobe will miss the clash against Real Madrid and most importantly, with his brother Jude Bellingham.

28' BVB 0-0 CFM

Nice work from Jobe Bellingham as he finds Serhou Guirassy with the forward unable to find the target and misses by the simplest of margins.

31' BVB 2-0 CFM

Facundo Tello is referring the game tonight! He refereed three matches at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and also was the first non-UEFA official at Euro 2024.

Some loose passes from Dortmund allowing CF Monterrey to comeback and hurt the Men In Yellow on the break. However, the Bundesliga club are doing everything in their power to defend. HT approaching and the Liga MX club would need one badly.

42' BVB 2-0 CFM

Monterrey are back! Germán Berterame header sees the Liga MX side grab a goal back and half their deficit. What a half we are about to see now!

48' BVB 2-1 CFM

Liga MX side CF Monterrey are dominating proceedings as they receive yet another opportunity. A nice cross in the BVB box but Nikolas Sule thwarts it away before it could fall to the Monterrey forward Érick Aguirre.

53' BVB 2-1 CFM

Mexican fans are making themselves heard and cheering on their side.

55' BVB 2-0 CFM

Oh no! Jesus Corona is released by Sergio Canales and the former Porto forward s clean on through but his shot is a tame one and hits straight at Kobel.

59' BVB 2-1 CFM

Yet again Jesus Corona is one-on-one with the BVB defence and the former does not want to square and goes solo. His shot is way wide off the post and that does not go well with his teammates.

64' BVB 2-1 CFM

Phew! We are in for a humdinger. Monterrey think they have equalised via Berterame but do not see the linesman flag on the far side as it is signalled offside. Bad luck for the Mexican side.

65' BVB 2-1 CFM

Nmecha and Adeyemi are replaced by Brandt and Couto as Dortmund make their second and third changes.

71' BVB 2-1 CFM

Serhou Guirassy swirls his way through the CFM defence but is unable to find the target. Rare opportunity for the Bundesliga side but they fail to make it count.

75' BVB 2-1 CFM

Ten mins or so remain for Monterrey to grab something and take this game to Extra-time.

81' BVB 2-1 CFM

Monterrey are tiring and despite the three changes, there don't seem the same energy that we saw in the start of the second-half. Stoppages remain.

89' BVB 2-1 CFM

HOW DID Ramos DID NOT HEAD IN! A great cross comes in and Sergio Ramos, known to score late goals himself, has failed to hit the target and his header goes agonizingly wide.

91+1' BVB 2-1 CFM

Despite the late surge from the Mexican side, it's Dortmund who emerge victorious as they snatch a 2-1 win to book their place in the quarters against Real Madrid.

Second Half ends, Borussia Dortmund 2, Monterrey 1.
