WHAT A CHANCE! Dortmund with an incredible chance to win the game in the dying seconds here! Pulisic made a driving run to the edge of the area, he chipped it to Aubameyang at the far post who heads the ball towards goal, it hits the post and Gudino manages to keep out the rebound. Then Bartra has an open goal to score into as the ball falls to him, but he fires it high over the bar! An incredible chance, the last kick of the game!
90'
There will be a minimum of three minutes of added time played here.

R. Sallai gets yellow.
Another late yellow card, this time to a APOEL man, Roland Sallai is the latest to go into the book.

M. Poté gets yellow.
S. Papastathopoulos gets yellow.
Sokratis is also booked for his reaction to the challenge he received by Pote. Both players are shown yellow cards.
Mickaël Poté is shown a yellow card for a late and robust challenge on Sokratis, who was not happy at all with that tackle.
Just a few minutes remain now and it is Dortmund who are pressing hard for the winning goal, they are camped inside the hosts half and struggling to make any ground themselves going forward. Is there enough time left to grab a winning goal and all three points?

78'
Great chance for APOEL! Aloneftis does brilliantly to work space inside the box and then fire a low cross across goal and his ball just needed a teammate to gamble on it and they would've had a tap-in! However, Pote wasn't sharp enough and didn't read the cross, so the chance went missing.
77'
J. Toljan gets yellow.
Jeremy Toljan is the first Dortmund player to be shown a yellow card here tonight.
Minute
Description
76'
STAT: Sokratis has scored five away goals for Dortmund in all competitions - all of them headers. He has scored another vital one tonight, however his side still need another if they want to keep their hopes alive of qualifying for the next round.
73'
M. Philipp enters the game and replaces M. Schmelzer.
Dortmund make their second second of the evening, skipper Marcel Schmelzer heads off and he has been replaced by Maximilian Philipp.
72'
R. Sallai enters the game and replaces L. Ebecilio.
APOEL make their third and final substitution here, with Lorenzo Ebecilio coming off and he is replaced by Roland Sallai.
69'
OFF THE BAR! Dortmund go agonisingly close to taking the lead! So close to a second for Dortmund as Kagawa cruises through midfield, under little pressure and fires a powerful shot at goal the edge of the area, but Gudiño, gets just enough on the ball to touch it on to bar. Great save.
67'
S. Papastathopoulos has scored a goal for Borussia Dortmund! Assist by M. Götze.
Götze hasn't had much of an influence on the game tonight, but he turned supplier for the goal with a beautiful ball into the box which allowed Sokratis to get Dortmund back into the game.
GOOOAAALLL! DORTMUND EQUALISE! Finally the visitors mount a dangerous attack and open up this APOEL defence. Schmelzer found Gotze in huge amounts of space down the left, he then put a delightful chipped ball into the box which was well met by Sokratis, who powered the ball into the back of the net. It's level once again, with plenty of time left on the clock.
65'
The home supporters are going wild here, their side have played well all night, restricting Dortmund to just possession and no attacking chances. They have now capitalised on some sloppy defending and take the lead, which would be a huge result.
62'
M. Poté has scored a goal for APOEL!
GOOOAAALLL! APOEL LEAD! Two massive mistakes by Burki in the Dortmund goal have handed that goal straight to the Cypriot. Bartra played the ball back to his keeper under pressure, but Burki tries to play a simple pass to his defender back, however he gets it all wrong and Ebecilio strides at goal, firing a low shot from the edge of the box. Burki spills the shot straight into the path of Pote, who has a simple tap-in after rounding the keeper.
60'
Dortmund now make their first substitution of the game, with Ömer Toprak the man heading off the pitch, he has been replaced by Jeremy Toljan.
59'
J. Toljan enters the game and replaces Ö. Toprak.
Dortmund win a corner, which APOEL fail to clear and the ball falls straight to the feet of Aubameyang who has to take it on the volley, but his attempt is way off target, it flies well wide of the hosts goal. Poor effort.
56'
We've got another injury concern now, but this time it is for the visitors, as Ömer Toprak goes down clutching his right hamstring. However, he looks like he will be fine to continue.
55'
APOEL will surely be pretty happy with a draw tonight, especially after suffering two double injury blows and the quality of the opposition. But given how Dortmund haven't really created anything of attacking note, they may be still have a chance of getting more out of this game.
53'
The other game being played in Group H tonight between Real Madrid and Tottenham at the Bernabéu is currently 1-1, which means that both of those sides will move onto seven points, six ahead of both of the teams here if this remains a draw.
50'
The German side have certainly looked to have picked up the tempo since the break - there's a zip to their passing and movement that was lacking for much of the opening 45 minutes. Still no chances.
48'
Dortmund have started the second half, just as they did the first, dominating possession and keeping the Cypriot side locked in their own half. During this second 45 minutes they will need to show more composure and quality in the final third, which has been lacking so far tonight.
46'
We're back underway!
45' +4
That's the half-time whistle!
45'
R. Gudiño enters the game and replaces B. Waterman.
Another substitution that APOEL have been forced to make due to an injury, Boy Waterman heads off and he has been placed by Raúl Manolo Gudiño Vega in the hosts goal.
There will be a minimum of four minutes added time, due to the lengthy stoppages we've had for both APOEL players injuries.
41'
We have another stoppage in play here as Waterman is down injured following a clash with two of his own teammates and Aubameyang, as they attempted reach a cross from Schmelzer and the keeper landed awkwardly. It doesn't look good here for the APOEL keeper, he may be coming off with what looks like another shoulder injury.
40'
APOEL will certainly be the happier side here, after withstanding a lot of early Dortmund pressure they have defended well and limited to the visitors star attackers to just scraps here tonight.
37'
Less than 10 minutes to go until the half-time whiste here in Cyprus, can either side create a goalscoring chance before the break and give themselves the advantage?
35'
APOEL ease the pressure on themselves at the back by winning a corner of their own. However, the ball into the box is far to close to Burki who does well to punch the ball clear and get a lot of distance on the ball. Aubameyang then wins a free-kick for Dortmund on the half-way line after a poor foul by Roberto Lago.
33'
APOEL have scored in 88% of their last eight home games in the Champions League, whilst Dortmund have conceded in 88% of their last eight away matches in the competition but have scored in 75% of them. It is still goalless here and not many chances to break the deadlock so far.
30'
M. Poté enters the game and replaces I. de Camargo.
Here is the first substitution of the game and Igor de Camargo has been forced off with the injury he picked up, he has been replaced by Mickaël Poté.
28'
We have a stoppage in play here as Igor de Camargo is down injured, with what appears to be a shoulder injury and he may be about to come off here. A big blow for the Cypriot side.
27'
The frustration is starting to show on the faces of the Dortmund players who have been poor in the final third so far tonight. Can APOEL make them pay at the other end?
25'
The game has shifted back in favour of Dortmund, the German side are once again controlling possession of the ball and keeping the hosts sitting deep in their own half. However, still no real attacking threat, despite having the likes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Pulisic and Gotze on the pitch.
23'
STAT: Both APOEL and Dortmund have lost twice so far in Group H, and by the same scoreline: the Cypriots lost 3-0 to Real Madrid and Tottenham; Dortmund lost 3-1 to the same opponents.
21'
The Dortmund counter ends with Lorenzo Ebecilio making a rash challenge on Marc Bartra, around 25 yards from goal and leads to the first yellow card of the game for the APOEL man.
The Dortmund skipper, Marcel Schmelzer, steps up to take the free-kick which is slightly right of the goal. Schmelzer gets his curling attempt on target but it lacks enough pace to beat Waterman who makes a comfortable save.
20'
L. Ebecilio gets yellow.
19'
Far better by the Cypriot side! They are now camped inside the Dortmund half and looking the more likely side to corner, they win a free-kick down the left wing, which is blocked and a corner is given. However, they try and play a clever short corner which doesn't pay off and Dortmund break up the pitch with pace.
16'
Warning for Dortmund! After their sustained period of heavy pressure, it is Dortmund who are almost caught out and concede the opening goal. The hosts broke forward with pace and did well down the right flank, with a low ball was whipped into the box and was met by Igor De Camargo at the near post, but he could only fire his shot from close range wide of the goal.
15'
It is all Dortmund here now, lots of possession, quickly winning the ball back after losing it and controlling proceedings. However, they are yet to create a goal scoring opportunity and Boy Waterman in the hosts net, hasn't had a save to make yet.
12'
Terrific build-up play by Dortmund, quick, incentive football which is starting to open up this APOEL defence. Kagawa, Mario Gotze and Christian Pulisic are eager to get on the ball and create opportunities going forward. Pulisic chipped a ball into the box but it didn't have much pace on it and Kagawa couldn't do much more than get a weak header to the ball, which went well wide of the APOEL goal.
11'
The atmosphere is excellent here tonight, with a large crowd coming out to support their side and Dortmund have been well backed up with away supporters. It is almost a must-win game for both sides tonight if they are to hold hopes of quailfying for the next round of the tournament.
9'
STAT: The Cypriot side have not won in the Champions League since March 2012, a 1-0 round-of-16, second-leg win against Lyon.
6'
The visitors appear to be winning the midfield battles early on and are now starting to dominate possession of the ball, This is not what APOEL boss, Giorgos Donis would have wanted to see so early on, his side are really struggling to get out of their own half at the moment.
4'
Decent chance for Dortmund! The first opportunity of the game falls the way of the visitors after a sloppy pass by APOEL was intercepted in the middle of the pitch, which allowed Shinji Kagawa to play a good through ball to Andriy Yarmolenko, but the striker fires his shot high over the bar.
3'
Both sides are struggling to retain possession in the early stages of the game, the hosts are playing the ball around nicely but it is in their own half and Dortmund are pressing high, keeping the penned in.

We're underway!
Good evening and welcome to our LIVE match commentary of the Champions League clash between APOEL and Borussia Dortmund.
Borussia Dortmund realistically need to beat APOEL in Cyprus tonight, to remain in with a chance of reaching the knock-out stages, after failing to pick up any points so far in the Champions League Group H.
Dortmund were tipped to be in the top two along with Real Madrid, but a defeat at Wembley to Tottenham in the first game was followed by a home loss to Real Madrid to leave them pointless and six points adrift of those sides. They need to make some ground up, and with the top two playing each other tonight, this is a great opportunity to do so.
The German side have been performing well in the league, sitting top of the Bundesliga after seven games, however, they did suffer their first league defeat of the season at the weekend against RB Leipzig.
The visitors have scored 19 goals in their last six competitive matches, but they have conceded seven in their last three and despite promising steps forward earlier in the campaign, their defence seems to be slipping again.
APOEL haven’t got off to the best of starts in the domestic league, they won on Friday to make it three wins, two draws, and four defeats from their last nine competitive matches, but at home on Tuesday they will be hoping to put up a fight in this tough group.
In the Champions League their defence doesn't respond well to pressure. They have kept just one clean sheet in their last eight away games in the competition, conceding a total of 14 goals but they have managed to score 13 at the other end, to try and make up for it, with seven of those goals coming in their last eight home games in the Champions League.
The confirmed team news is in and here is how the two sides line-up here tonight...
The teams are out here and kick-off is almost upon us, stay tuned for all of the match action!
It is goalless here in Cyprus, but Dortmund have dominated possession, and have had numerous attacks, but in truth the home side have not really been put under sustained pressure too often. APOEL have recovered from a slow start and probably had the better of the last 15 minutes.
HALF-TIME: APOEL 0-0 DORTMUND
FULL-TIME: APOEL 1-1 DORTMUND
That's all from us tonight folks, we hope you enjoyed the game!
In a game that both sides really needed to win, both have to settle for a draw here tonight. Pote gave the hosts the lead midway through the second half, but their advantage was quickly pulled back as Sokratis' header made the game level again. Dortmund almost won it at the end, but APOEL deserved a point for their commitment and work-rate. With the other game drawn, APOEL and Dortmund remain six points adrift of Madrid and Tottenham in Group H.
