Despite late pressure, the German side fails to create any clear scoring opportunities on home turf.

DORTMUND: Lille scored with their first shot on target in the 68th minute to snatch an equaliser in a 1-1 draw at Borussia Dortmund in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie on Tuesday.

The German hosts, last year’s finalists, needed some time to get into the game before Karim Adeyemi fired them into a 22nd-minute lead with an unstoppable low drive that went in off the post.

Lille had struggled to break through a solid Dortmund backline for more than an hour but they succeeded with a quick passing move as an off-balance Hakon Haraldsson beat keeper Gregor Kobel.
