Sneijder whips it in, BVB clear, and the final whistle goes! Dortmund are through to the last 16 with two games to spare!
90' +4
Galatasaray have a corner on the left, and once it is taken that should be full time!
90' +2
B. Džemaili gets yellow.
The stadium is emptying early and BVB keep the ball for a long period before Immobile runs past Dzemaili and wins a free kick. That will keep the Swiss out of Gala's next game.
90' +1
We are into the first minute of an additional four. No signs of an early end to proceedings given the ongoing trouble with the Gala fans.
90'
Mkhitaryan spreads the play with a diagonal pass to Aubameyang out on the left. He attempts to send a first-time cross into the middle for Immobile but the ball is too close to Muslera, who gathers cleanly.
88'
Play gets back underway, but you can expect some hefty repercussions for Galatasaray.
87'
We have another break in play now as a flare seems to have been thrown into the group of Dortmund supporters sat next to the Gala fans.
85'
A. Ramos enters the game and replaces S. Bender.
S. Kaya is unfortunate, scores an own goal!
B. Yılmaz enters the game and replaces U. Bulut.
Changes from both sides, here, as Burak Yilmaz replaces Bulut for Gala, while Ramos comes on for Bender for the hosts.
84'
OWN GOAL FROM KAYA! Kehl's cross finds Immobile at the back post and his volley back into the middle strikes the foot of Kaya and rolls into the back of the net!
83'
VITAL BLOCK! Immobile shakes off Kaya and rolls a pass across the box for Aubameyang. The Gabon international knocks it away from Muslera but is denied a tap in by a forceful block from Chedjou!
Minute
Description
82'
Y. Öztekin enters the game and replaces Hamit Altıntop.
Altintop is replaced by Yasin Oztekin, who played for Dortmund's reserve side between 2006 and 2011 and worked under Klopp.
81'
80'
Sokratis makes a superb block, closing Sneijder down on the edge of the box and getting his body in the way of the Dutchman's drilled effort.
79'
Dzemaili has been poor tonight, and after being played in on the left by Sneijder he sends his cross straight out of play!
77'
Sneijder again tries to thread a pass through for Bulut but, once more, the striker is denied by Sokratis, who keeps the ball alive before clearing it away from the danger area.
75'
There is a delay before the game gets going again as Muslera receives some treatment from the medical staff. He wasn't happy with it, but Immobile's effort was fair game.
74'
C. Immobile has scored a goal for Borussia Dortmund! Assist by P. Aubameyang.
73'
Cimbom win another corner on the left and once more Sneijder whips it into the middle. The visitors fail to make anything of it, but BVB are beginning to look a little panicked.
GOOOOOAAAAL!! IMMOBILE MAKES IT THREE! A swift counterattack from the hosts sees them get forward in numbers, and Aubameyang centres the ball for the Italian. He controls with his chest, rides a knock from Altintop and beats Muslera to the ball to roll it into the back of the net!
71'
C. Immobile enters the game and replaces M. Reus.
Following the goal Reus comes off and is replaced by Immobile. Aubameyang will now likely operate on the left.
70'
H. Balta has scored a goal for Galatasaray! Assist by W. Sneijder.
69'
GOOOOOOOAAAL!! Sneijder curls a great corner to the near post and Balta gets away from Piszczek to steer a header into the back of the net! What a great 20 minutes we could be in store for now.
68'
The atmosphere has become a little flat, with Dortmund playing much more of a passive role in the game now. One chance to counterattack, though, and that could all change. However, should Gala pull one back now then we could be set up for a great finish.
66'
Sokratis dispossesses Camdal brilliantly down by the corner flag and then launches a long pass in search of Aubameyang. He gets well away from Kaya but is unable to stop the ball from bouncing out of play.
65'
Gala are enjoying their best spell in possession of this half, with BVB seemingly happy to sit a little deeper and invite them on, now that they have their two-goal cushion. Cimdal looks to break down the right but Reus brings him to ground with a sliding challenge.
64'
H. Balta gets yellow.
63'
İ. Gündoğan enters the game and replaces S. Kagawa.
Chedjou absolutely flattens Mkhitaryan and the Cameroonian goes into the book. BVB have a free kick in a central position, 40 yards from goal.
62'
Klopp makes his first change of the night as Kagawa is replaced by Ilkay Gundogan.
60'
In Group D's other game, Arsenal currently lead 3-0 at home to Anderlecht. As it stands, then, both Dortmund and the Gunners will qualify for the next stage tonight.
58'
Dortmund were 4-0 winners when the teams met in Istanbul on matchday three, and they look capable of matching that scoreline again tonight!
56'
S. Papastathopoulos has scored a goal for Borussia Dortmund! Assist by S. Kehl.
You have to think that the slight delay may have caused some of the Cimbom players to lose their concentration, and now they're 2-0 down!
54'
A few of the Gala players were appealing to the fans, asking them to ease off there. Now they all do it again, but the fans are in good voice!
GOOOOOOOAAAAL!! SOKRATIS FINDS THE NET! The game got back underway with a corner which Muslera punched out, but the second was taken short and clipped in by Kagawa. Kaya's header was nodded back down by Kehl and Sokratis, standing in front of Muslera, hooks it in on the spin!
53'
It looks like some fireworks have been thrown on the pitch by the Galatasaray supporters, so the referee has pulled all the players away and over to the dugouts.
52'
Aubameyang is released beyond the defence but he does not cut in front of Kaya, and the centre-back manages to block the attempted cross.
51'
Durm carries the ball down the left flank but his attempt to cross the ball to the back post is poor and goes out beyond the goal.
49'
The visitors have started the second half brightly, with Sneijder now slipping a pass down the channel for Bulut. The striker fails to make the most of the opportunity, though, as Sokratis gets between him and the ball to clear it away.
48'
WIDE FROM SNEIJDER! Route one football from Gala as Muslera's goal kick is nodded down to the Dutchman by Bulut. He takes a touch before lashing an early volley towards goal. Weidenfeller is caught on his heels and breathes a sigh of relief as the effort bounces outside of the post.
47'
Dortmund win a corner out on the left and Reus plays it short to Kagawa. The Japanese returns it to him at a more favourable angle to cross, but he clears the far post with his delivery.
46'
We are back underway!
45' +2
Camdal comes back onto the pitch and the half-time whistle is blown!
45' +1
There will be one minute added on at the end of the half, but, following a knock to Camdal which sees him receive treatment, that may be extended slightly.
45'
S. İnan gets yellow.
Inan goes into the book for a tug and a trip on Reus as the German looked to get away from him inside the centre circle.
44'
Aubameyang and Reus combine nicely at the top of the box before the former clips a pass into space for Mkhitaryan. From the edge of the area he catches the ball on the volley but skews it harmlessly high and wide of the target.
42'
The ball is bent in from the right but the visitors are unable to test Weidenfeller from it, and the keeper restarts the play.
41'
Sokratis dallies in possession and is closed down by Bulut and Inan. They nick the ball away and the centre-back commits a foul in his attempts to recover.
39'
M. Reus has scored a goal for Borussia Dortmund! Assist by Ł. Piszczek.
GOOOOOOOAAAL!! REUS OPENS THE SCORING! Piszczek spots the Germany international's run from left to right and rolls a pass behind Kaya. Reus takes it first-time, guiding the ball beneath Muslera and into the back of the net!
38'
Reus angles a long ball out to the right from deep, picking out Piszczek brilliantly. The right-back cushions a header down for Aubameyang, but the striker was running away from him and completely left the ball!
36'
CHANCE! Reus' corner, again from the left, finds Subotic in space at the back post but the centre-back is unable to adjust quickly enough to divert the ball into the back of the net, instead hooking it over the top.
35'
Sokratis makes a quick run from deep to invite Reus to play a free kick at speed, and the Greek attempts to knock it down for Aubameyang. He is unable to get a shot away, but BVB do earn a corner.
33'
JUST WIDE FROM KAGAWA! Mkhitaryan dribbles across the top of the box, creating space before teeing up the Japanese for a shot with a clever backheel. Kagawa uses the outside of his right boot to try and bend it just inside the near post, but he misses the target by the narrowest of margins.
32'
Felipe Melo attempts to bulldoze his way through the midfield and after forcing his way past Reus, he staggers on and stabs a pass out wide to Camdal. The right-back thought he had lost it, though, so was in no position to receive the pass!
30'
Aubameyang, Mkhitaryan and Reus attempt to combine just inside the left side of the area, but their passing is far too intricate and they are eventually crowded out by the Gala defence.
28'
Dortmund are finding it difficult to break down Gala at the moment. The visitors are defending with two solid banks of four, which is making it difficult for the likes of Mkhitaryan and Kagawa to get on the ball in space between the lines.
26'
Kagawa comes inside from the left before attempting to stand a cross up at the back post for Aubameyang. He sends it nowhere near the Gabon international, though, contriving to put it out of play for a goal kick.
25'
OFF THE BAR! Reus swings a corner in from the left and Sokratis rises highest to get his head on the ball. He glances it towards the far corner but the effort comes back off the bar, and BVB cannot find a way past Muslera from the follow-up.
23'
Durm slides a pass down the left, looking for Aubameyang, who hasn't seen much of the ball so far. Chedjou once more reads it well, coming across to make a sliding tackle that sends it out for a throw in.
22'
STAT: Galatasaray have been triumphant in four of their last six visits to face Bundesliga opposition, losing only once.
20'
The visitors have plenty of bodies behind the ball, so Reus attempts to clip a pass over the top of the defence and Chedjou shepherds it out under pressure from Kagawa.
18'
Cimbom are beginning to settle now, looking far more comfortable with the ball at their feet. BVB cannot afford to slacken off with their pressing until they have broken the deadlock, surely.
16'
Felipe Melo tries his luck at dribbling into space between Bender and Reus and he does so effectively, drawing a foul from the latter that earns his team a free kick.
14'
SNEIJDER! Camdal plants a cross on the penalty spot and the Dutchman finds space to meet it. He has his back to goal so tries an acrobatic overhead kick. His connection is poor, though, and Weidenfeller dives to his left for a largely comfortable save.
13'
The referee gives Bender his final warning following a strong challenge on Balta. The midfielder looked to have won the ball, but the official clearly wasn't impressed by the force used.
12'
Reus begins a darting run to the byline and Kagawa shifts the ball into space so that he can make the matching pass. However, the former Gladbach man staggers his run and is therefore not able to latch onto it.
11'
Dortmund are pressing very high up the pitch tonight, squeezing possession away from Gala and then building from the back.
9'
Sneijder plays a long ball up the pitch looking for Bulut but the striker is adjudged offside. BVB look to probe down the left through Reus once more, but the Germany international has the ball poked away from him by the covering Altintop.
7'
Balta flights a diagonal pass into the box for Bulut and the striker goes to ground under pressure from Durm. He feels he should have a penalty, but nothing is given by the officials.
6'
Mkhitaryan and Kagawa combine well before the latter lays the ball off to Piszczek on the right. He attempts to bend a cross to the back post for Reus but Chedjou positions himself well to clear the danger with a powerful header.
4'
Kagawa chips a corner towards the near post but Melo knocks it out for a corner. He tries it again but there is no flick on at the near post and, after Subotic hoofs the ball up into the air, Gala can clear.
3'
The corner fails to come to anything but the ball is eventually worked back out to Reus on the left. He lashes a shot towards the far corner but it swerves away from the target and Muslera watches it fly wide.
2'
Reus is released down the left with a ball over the top of the defence from the right. He stands up Camdal and attempts to beat him around the outside and to the byline but the right-back knocks the ball out for a corner.

We are underway in Dortmund!
Hello and welcome to tonight's LIVE commentary on the Champions League Group D meeting between Borussia Dortmund and Galatasaray. The hosts are enduring a torrid season domestically but will qualify for the last 16 should they win this evening! My name is Tom Webber, and I will be your host for the match.
It has been a season of contrasting fortunes for Jurgen Klopp's side so far. A 2-1 defeat at the hands of Bayern Munich at the weekend consigned BVB to their fifth consecutive Bundesliga defeat, while they sit top of Group D with a 100 per cent record up to now! Qualification tonight might alleviate some of the pressure going into another important league match with Borussia Monchengladbach this weekend.
Dortmund actually wore their shirt for European competition in the Bundesliga when they hosted Hannover on October 25, in an attempt to carry their Champions League form into the domestic competition. It didn't work; they were sunk 1-0.
DORTMUND TEAM NEWS: Klopp makes one change from the side that lost 2-1 in Munich on Saturday, and it is an enforced one. Mats Hummels, who suffered an ankle injury in that game, is replaced in defence by Neven Subotic. There is some good news for BVB fans in that Marcel Schmelzer is available again, and he starts on the bench tonight.
GALATASARAY TEAM NEWS: Cesare Prandelli brings Wesley Sneijder back into the starting line-up as the Dutchman started on the bench for the 2-1 win over Kasimpasa on Friday. There is no place for Burak Yilmaz, though, as Umut Bulut is favoured having come from the bench to score the winner in that game.
Galatasaray (4-2-3-1): Muslera; Camdal, Chedjou, Kaya, Balta; Felipe Melo, Dzemaili; Altintop, Sneijder, Inan; Bulut.
Galatasaray bench: Bolat, Alex Telles, Kurtulus, Adin, Oztekin, Bruma, Yilmaz.
The last time Dortmund started a UEFA Champions League group stage with three victories, in 1996/97, they went on to win the competition. It would be some feat if they replicated that this season given their woeful domestic form.
Galatasaray were victorious on their last visit to Dortmund, picking up a 2-0 win en route to lifting the UEFA Cup in 2000. Cimbom could do with a similar result tonight, or they could be staring elimination from the competition in the face.
The teams are out on the pitch and the Champions League anthem rings aorund the sodden Signal-Iduna-Park. They may be having a tumultuous season, but you can be sure the BVB faithful will be in full voice tonight.
HALF TIME - Dortmund 1-0 Galatasaray: Jurgen Klopp's men look to be cruising into the knockout stages as they lead Cimbom thanks to a goal from Reus just before the interval. They've had more attempts at goal, more possession, and have been the better side overall. Still, there is plenty for Prandelli's men to play for in the second half. Be sure to join me for it!
Welcome back! The teams are out on the pitch so the second half will be underway shortly.
FULL TIME - Dortmund 4-1 Galatasaray: BVB make it four straight wins in the Champions League to qualify from Group D with two games spare. Reus and Sokratis put the hosts two ahead before Balta pulled one back for the visitors, however, the introduction of Immobile proved decisive as he scored the third before seeing his cross diverted into the net by Kaya for an own goal!
Dortmund are five points clear at the top of the group following Arsenal's 3-3 draw with Anderlecht in London. Top spot is very nearly secured for die Schwarzgelben!
That is it from me, Tom Webber, for this evening. Thanks a lot for joining me.
