Dortmund are safely through to the quarter-finals of the Champions League after eventually seeing off Zenit St Petersburg, though the night was embroiled in battles and blood. Dortmund booked their place in the quarter-finals despite suffering a 2-1 defeat at home to Zenit on Wednesday.
The Russians grabbed the lead through a stunning strike from Hulk early in the first half before Sebastian Kehl equalised before the break.
Rondon restored the visitors' advantage in the second period but Jurgen Klopp's side were able to hold on to a 5-4 aggregate advantage to mark their 200th match in Europe's premier club competition with progression to the last eight.
Sergey Semak, taking charge of his final Zenit match before Andre Villas-Boas is officially installed as coach on Thursday, at least saw his reign close with a victory at Signal Iduna Park, although his side failed to turn around their first-leg deficit.
