The defending German champions pulled ahead as early as the sixth minute when Marco Reus scored from a direct free kick.

Two minutes later Wolfsburg went 2-1 up as Naldo turned in Diego's delivery from close range.

Dortmund commenced the second half the better of the two sides, with Reus and Mario Gotze both trying their luck with spectacular attempts, but both failed to keep his attempts on target.

Jurgen Klopp's side were given a penalty of their own on the hour-mark when Simon Kjaer brought down Robert Lewandowski inside the Wolfsburg penalty area.
