Axel Witsel was the only player booked for the home side in this one, with Idrissa Gueye, Neymar, Thomas Meunier and Marco Veratti of PSG all also having their names taken by referee Antonio Miguel Mateu Lahoz.
Almost dead even on the stats here - PSG just shading possession, and Dortmund edging the hot count. In the end this really came down to the more clinical side coming out on top, and in that regard, there are few more clinical forwards than Dortmund's young Norwegian frontman at present.
In a game between two such potent attacks, it was somewhat typical that the defences were very much on top in the first half. Neymar going closest for the visitors when firing wide from a free kick, and Jadon Sancho having the best opportunity for the hosts when cutting inside and forcing Keylor Navas into a decent stop. Goalless at the interval.
Much more open after the interval, with both sides having their chances. It was however the hosts who struck first. A cross in from the right finding Raphael Guerreiro in the area. Guerreiro's effort was deflected, taking all the pace off it, but there was fox in the box Erling Haaland on hand to beat the keeper to the ball and prod home from only a yard or so out to the right. 1-0 after 69 minutes.
The lead lasted only six minutes. Kylian Mbappé doing well in the right of the area and taking the keeper out of it with a low ball across the six-yard box. Neymar the man on hand to slot into the empty net from five yards.
Just two minutes after that though the home side were back in front. Haaland found just outside the box and to the left of centre, taking a touch and thundering an effort into the top left corner. Fine strike.
2-1 final score.
A win for Dortmund then, but not a disastrous result for PSG by any means. With that away goal on the board and only a one goal deficit, they will fancy their chances of turning this around at the Parc des Princes.
