Mats Hummels gives Borussia Dortmund advantage over Shakhtar Donetsk
Show all 2A late Mats Hummels equaliser handed Borussia Dortmund the advantage against Shakhtar Donetsk ahead of next month's second leg as the German side secured a 2-2 draw in the Ukraine.
At a freezing Donbass Stadium, Dortmund enjoyed large spells of possession, Jakub Blaszczykowski and Hummels going close. It was the hosts, however, who went ahead, Darijo Srna's free-kick beating Roman Weidenfeller after half an hour. A fortunate bounce allowed Robert Lewandowski to equalise before the break, only for Douglas Costa to regain the lead.
A minute's silence was held before the match for the victims of a plane crash involving supporters in Donetsk, in which at least four people lost their lives.
