  Bernd Leno

  Was caught out for both of Dortmund's early goals, charging out to try and close down Reus, and fouling Lewandowski. Partially redeemed himself with a great challenge on Kuba, and a penalty save, but let Lewandowski have the ball all too easily for the third goal.

  2.00

  Philipp Wollscheid Flop of the Match

  Sold his goalkeeper short with a sloppy backpass for the winner, but was generally solid in defence, and a presence at the other end of the pitch for Castro's dangerous set plays.

  Sebastian Boenisch

  Completely culpable for the second penalty, diving in all too rashly on Lewandowski, but was a real threat with his deliveries from the wing, setting up countless opportunities.

  3.00

  Daniel Carvajal

  With Reus and Schmelzer charging down the left, he did a decent job in the first half, and forced a decent save from Langerak. Did well in the build-up to the second goal, too.

  3.00

  Ömer Toprak

  Made a few good blocks on long-range shots in the first half, but was completely absent for both of BVB's early goals. Lucky not to have been dismissed at the death for a challenge on Gotze.

  4.00

  Stefan Reinartz

  Gave possession away quite sloppily on a couple of occasions in the first half, and was lucky not to be punished for it. Took his two chances fantastically, but off the pace in midfield.

  2.00

  Simon Rolfes

  The skipper never looked up to the challenge posed by the champions, and was overrun in midfield. Hauled off at half-time, unsurprisingly.

•

  3.50

  Lars Bender

  Was up for the fight in the centre of the park, breaking forward from midfield brilliantly, but was often lacking that killer ball or a true shot.

  3.00

  G. Castro

  Missed two early chances, but atoned for his sloppy finishing with some fantastic wing-play, setting up numerous chances for his team-mates.

•

  3.00

  Andre Schürrle

  Was not involved as much as he would have liked, but certainly contributed to his team's attack in fits and starts. Saw a great shot cleared off the line by Hummels.

•

  3.50

  Stefan Kießling

  His 100th Bundesliga goal eluded him, but he was a constant threat, and although he missed a couple of chances, set up Reinartz's second strike fantastically.

  Jens Hegeler

  Missed a decent opportunity to equalise with his only contribution of note.

  Sidney Sam

  Added another dimension to his side's attack with his direct running and good crossing. Forced Langerak into a great save.

  Arkadiusz Milik

  Only notable moment was a hand-ball in an auspicious debut.

  4.00

  Mitchell Langerak

  Thrust into the first team due to Weidenfeller's illness, the Australian made some great saves to prove that he is a more than able deputy, not least from Kiessling as Leverkusen looked for a path back into the match.

•

  3.00

  Mats Hummels

  Handed the captain's armband for the first time, and responded well. Was composed in the tackle, and made a fantastic block on the line to deny Schurrle a route back into the match.

•

  2.50

  Lukasz Piszczek

  Got down the right in customary fashion, but was often lacking that final delivery. Was caught out a couple of times on the counterattack.

•

  3.00

  Felipe Santana

  Continues to provide good cover for Subotic. A presence in the Leverkusen box, he met a couple of corners, and was dominant in the air at the back.

•

  2.50

  Marcel Schmelzer

  Made only fantastic block to deny Kiessling midway through the second half, and got forward well in support of Gotze and Reus. Another sound performance.

  3.00

  Sven Bender

  Was barely noticeable in the centre of the park. Did his job well, without pulling up any trees.

•

  3.50

  Ilkay Gündogan

  Picked up where he left off against Nurnberg. sending out countless probing balls as BVB dominated the first half. Did his job well at the back too when Leverkusen applied some pressure.

•

  3.00

  Mario Götze

  Was not at his brilliant best, but still showcased a portion of his extraordinary talent with some darts forward, and slick combination play with Reus.

•

  3.00

  Jakub Blaszczykowski

  Kept his cool to make it 2-0 from the spot at the first time of asking, and did well down the right throughout with his usual mix industry and technique. His second penalty will be forgotten though as it did not affect the result.

•

  4.00

  Robert Lewandowski Top of the Match

  Did brilliantly throughout the match, chasing down every ball in the Leverkusen half, scoring the deciding goal after a rocky period for the champions, and winning the second penalty.

•

  3.00

  Marco Reus

  Opened the scoring with a superb finish early on, and was a constant thorn in Leverkusen's side. One of Dortmund's best players on the night, and all season.

  Julian Schieber

  Did not touch the ball in his 30 seconds of play.
