Erling Haaland scored twice as Borussia Dortmund ended Sevilla's nine-game winning streak with a 3-2 come-from-behind victory in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Champions League.
The hosts took the lead early through Suso Fernandez on Wednesday but Dortmund rallied with a goal by Mahmoud Dahoud and Haaland's double before halftime at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium.
Luuk de Jong scored Sevilla's late second goal to improve the Spanish team's chances in the return leg. "The first half, outside of the early goal, went exactly as we had envisioned it," Dortmund captain Marco Reus said.
"We sat a little deeper than normal but were very compact. We won the ball well, got it forward onto dangerous positions and took the lead. The first half was very good."
