ıker casillas's own goal earned borussia dortmund a 1-0 win over porto and confirmed their uefa europa league round of 16 place.
trailing 2-0 from the first leg, the home side started a breakneck speed, but as the heavens opened in northern portugal, their hopes of progressing were all but extinguished. casillas produced a wonderful save from marco reus's volley, but the ball cannoned off him and into the net after pierre-emerick aubameyang's follow-up crashed off the crossbar.
away goal secured, dortmund sat back. evandro fired wide following a mazy run before silvestre varela's header forced roman bürki into a full-length save just before the break. vincent aboubakar's impish flick was well smothered by bürki as porto continued where they left off, but dortmund menaced on the counter, aubameyang and henrikh mkhitaryan both having efforts disallowed for offside.
bürki produced another smart stop late on to deny porto a consolation before substitute yacine brahimi hit the crossbar and mkhitaryan saw an effort cannon off the post.
aubameyang resplendent the gabon forward was a thorn in porto's side, the 26-year-old exemplifying dortmund's high-intensity pressing game, leading from the front and denying the home defence a moment's peace. ın the right place at the right time to help force the goal, his lightning pace on the counter led him to beat ıker casillas – but not the offside flag – after the break.

supporter power the dragão crowd did both sides credit. dortmund's travelling contingent and porto's faithful were in full voice for the whole 90 minutes. before kick-off, the home fans held up a banner reading (in english) 'never give up!' – though the tide of the game turned against them, they never did.
