Match Events
11' What a clearance from Vertonghen!
Excellent tackle from Vertonghen! That was crucial. The Belgium international times his sliding challenge perfectly to hook the ball away from Reus.
21' CHANCE! Reus' shot saved
Good save from Lloris! The goalkeeper readjusts his body well to deal with a deflected Reus shot, the attacker having been found free in the area by a Guerreiro cut-back.
31' MISS! Son's shot wide out
Eriksen threads the forward through on goal but, from a narrow angle and with Wolf applying pressure, Son finishes the wrong side of the near post. That was a big moment for Tottenham.
33' Great saves from Lloris!
The goalkeeper keeps out Weigl's close-range header before Davies throws himself in the way of the follow-up. Lloris is then called into action to turn away a curling Gotze effort.
48' GOAL! Dortmund 0-1 Tottenham (Kane)
Kane pounces and Spurs are surely headed for the quarter-finals!
Dortmund are caught napping at the back as Sissoko plays Kane in for a one-on-one, and the striker makes no mistake with a cool finish inside the near post. 1-0.
Match Report
Tottenham qualified for the Champions League quarter-finals for the first time since 2010-11 after Tuesday's 1-0 win at Borussia Dortmund secured a 4-0 aggregate triumph.
Mauricio Pochettino's men held a commanding lead ahead of their trip to Signal Iduna Park and, although the hosts piled on the pressure in the first half, Hugo Lloris proved a reliable last line of defence before Harry Kane ultimately put the tie to bed.
Dortmund did everything they could to breathe life into the second leg in the opening period, but they came up against an inspired Lloris, who made a string of vital saves, most impressively to thwart Mario Gotze and Julian Weigl.

Dortmund season seem to slow down and at the wrong time, they weren't scoring goals like they used to be, now they've lost back to back matches, and had been kicked out of the Champions league by Tottenham Hotspur. Kudos to Spurs for a job well done.

Dortmund leads Bundeslliga but failed to register a single goal against Tottenham on both legs on champions league. But Tottenham is 3rd on premier league.Won Dortmund on both meetings yet struggles to win games in premier league lately. This shows how tough premier league is.
