Odd Grenland play on the artificial surface of the Skagerak Arena, which holds 13,500 people, and is sold out for the match against Borussia Dortmund. However, Gabon Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, began proceedings by poking in a ball after the goalkeeper failed to hold on to it after a thunderous strike from Ilkay Gundagon in the 34th minute.

“We were lucky in the second-half that we could get it back to 3-3”.

“There’s 90 minutes to go, anything can happen, but we feel confident to win the second match”.

“In the first game they have won in Mainz”.

The team with the most Bundesliga appearances within their squad (Dortmund, 3,279) face the side at the opposite end of the scale (Ingolstadt, 382).

Borussia Dortmund’s coach Thomas Tuchel is aiming to keep his straight-win record when the team meet Ingolstadt tomorrow.

“It was the last thing we wanted”.

Dortmund are now in a good position for the home leg against Odds next Thursday with the winners going through to the Europa League group stages. “Last season, after winning the (Ruhr) derby (against rivals Schalke 04) we celebrated but still fell back into a hole afterwards”.

Tuchel added: “The team have scored many goals and therefore they deserved the promotion”.

Watzke said despite a round of 16 Champions League exit and a seventh place in the Bundesliga last season, the results showed Dortmund remained a strong brand.
