Dortmund top group after last-gasp winner

Last year’s beaten finalists Borussia Dortmund were just four minutes away from exiting this year’s competition before Kevin Grosskreutz’s scuffed winner in Marseille saw them qualify as group winners.

Robert Lewandowski’s neat chip put Dortmund ahead in the fourth minute, but the lead lasted only 10 minutes before Souleymane Diawara headed home an equaliser. With the score at 1-1 and with Napoli winning against Arsenal, the 2013 finalists looked to be heading out of Europe’s premier club competition, despite playing against 10 men following the first-half dismissal of OM midfielder Dimitri Payet. But, in the 86th minute, Kevin popped up to fire the German side into the knockout stages.

Ten-man AC Milan scraped into the knockout stages by resisting an all-out Ajax assault to secure a goalless draw at the San Siro — the only Italian side to make it through.
