Borussia Dortmund have taken a giant leap towards the last eight of the Champions League by scoring two away goals in the first half at Zenit St Petersburg.

Dortmund opened up their two-goal lead before this evening's game in Russia was five minutes old.

First, Henrikh Mkhitaryan finished from close range in the fourth minute after a lung-busting run from Marco Reus, before Reus himself squeezed a volley in at the near post a minute later.

Zenit began to see a bit more of the ball, but they couldn't really test Roman Weidenfeller in the Dortmund goal.

Reus had the best chance of the remainder of the half, but could only curl an effort wide from the edge of the area.
