Borussia Dortmund hold a narrow advantage at half time of their Bundesliga clash with Wolfsburg this afternoon, thanks to a strike from Marco Reus moments before the interval.

Reus curled home the opener with a free kick just outside the penalty area in first-half stoppage time, breaking the deadlock just moments after Neven Subotic had been stretchered off through injury.

Until that moment of quality Dortmund had struggled to break down a stubborn Wolfsburg defence, restricted to strikes from range through Marcel Schmelzer and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Wolfsburg had threatened early on despite being without creative linchpin Diego, with Ivan Perisic flashing just wide against his former club with a header from close range.

Jurgen Klopp's side responded and managed to strike through Reus with the final kick of the first period, giving them something to hold after the break with a reshaped defence.
