Malaga lead 2-1 in the 91st minute but two scrappy goals from Jurgen Klopp's men ensured an unbelievable ending
Borussia Dortmund came back from the dead to book their place in the
semi-finals of the Champions League with a quite unbelievable victory
over Malaga at Westfalenstadion.
The German side's run in the competition appeared to be as good as over after Eliseu's strike in the 82nd minute made it 2-1 to Malaga and left the hosts needing two goals to progress after last week's first leg ended goalless.
Marco Reus breathed life into Jurgen Klopp's side with a close-range finish in the first minute of stoppage time but there was even greater drama to come as Dortmund pressed on in search of a third goal, which duly arrived with seconds remaining as Felipe Santana scrambled home.
Joaquin's 25th-minute opener for Manuel Pellegrini's visitors was cancelled out by Robert Lewandowski's superbly crafted goal five minutes before the break, but that was mere prelude to the drama - and acrimony - that was to come after the break.
Both Eliseu's strike for Malaga and Santana's third for Dortmund should both have been ruled out for offside, as the officiating team led by Scotland's Craig Thomson ensured this memorable contest would also be tainted by controversy.
Dortmund's players and fans will probably not lose too much sleep over the shortcomings of the officials, with the frenzied delight of the home contingent starkly contrasted by Malaga's crestfallen players, who as the final whistle blew clearly were struggling to comprehend how they had been turned over.
