Captain Reus saves Dortmund in DFB-Pokal
Borussia Dortmund needed a last-gasp goal from captain Marco Reus to move into the next round of the DFB-Pokal.
Marco Reus struck a 120th-minute winner as Borussia Dortmund scrambled into the second round of the DFB-Pokal.
Penalties were looming in Monday's tie between second-tier side Greuther Furth and Bundesliga giants Dortmund.
But Reus slammed home a low right-wing cross from Jadon Sancho to ensure Lucien Favre's men progressed with a 2-1 victory after extra time.
Dortmund fell behind in the 77th minute, with Sebastian Ernst on target for the hosts, but Dortmund dramatically forced extra-time.
Axel Witsel's first goal for the club came in the 95th minute, the Belgium midfielder volleying in from close range as Dortmund left it late to level.
And Dortmund captain Reus came up with the decisive goal to break Greuther Furth hearts and prevent Dortmund from following holders Eintracht Frankfurt out.
Oh captain, our captain! 1-2 August 20, 2018
