00:00Hello and welcome to Paderborn in Germany's picturesque Eastern Westphalia region.
00:06A small compact city that is home of an archdiocese and spectacular cathedral,
00:11enjoys an importer that belies its size and that status is also reflected here in the Benteleer Arena.
00:17The smallest venue in the Bundesliga puts home to a club that's made a habit of punching above its weight in recent years.
00:24Under normal circumstances, this would be packed to the rafters with a loyal and passionate fan base
00:30as Paderborn welcome the big boys from just down the road.
00:34Borussia Dortmund, however, as we're getting used to now,
00:38all the remaining matches this season are being played behind closed doors
00:41as part of the German Football League's medical concept.
00:45The president there of the Football League has been a standout player.
00:49This is Antoine Arche.
00:50Drega is on the overlap. It's still Antoine Arche.
00:56Well, it's a second attempt to go from Antoine Arche.
01:03He'll be highly motivated today.
01:06Good run from Drega, so to give Antoine Arche the time.
01:11Nick over the top. Forget it, hot man, but cut out by Hummels.
01:15Hazard will give chase, but Hazard will get there as well.
01:23Strudik sold his keeper short, and Hazard almost pounced.
01:28Yeah, the pass back.
01:30This is helping Strudik is too short.
01:33Hazard's pace.
01:35Good chance.
01:36Just over 35 minutes to force a breakthrough.
01:38It's a goal that we've been threatening.
01:52And finally, it arrives.
01:56Turgun Hazard with his seventh goal of the season.
02:00Great switch of play.
02:01Good run from Emre Can.
02:03Sturik, I think, was worried to go one against one with Can as a penalty.
02:17Here is the moment.
02:18And then Singel is a little bit unlucky.
02:21Not the best touch for a goalkeeper and an easy cut in for Hazard.
02:25Pure determination from Emre Can.
02:28Just goes to Pashto.
02:29Sturik into Sturik and Steffen says Singel, the rather unfortunate to parry the ball back into the centre.
02:36Delaney.
02:37Brent.
02:38Brent's away from Sturik.
02:41And Brent into the middle.
02:42And James Sancho hits it too.
02:45Well, Sancho with a goal on his return to the starting line-up.
02:49He was off the pace against Bayern midweek, but he's announced his arrival back in the starting line-up in true James Sancho style.
03:04Another incisive attack from Sturik from Dortmund Steffen.
03:07Oh, yeah, perfect play.
03:13And a great pass from Delaney to run.
03:17And then if he's behind, he puts him to pass.
03:21Then it's difficult to stop him and easy for Sancho there.
03:24Well, goal number 15 of the season for Jadon Sancho.
03:30He won't have had too many easier than that.
03:33Dangerous and set pieces, but also can be holding the theatre like Witzel.
03:38Here's the chance now for Paderborn.
03:40Well, Emre Can did really well to get back to a blocked digger shot.
03:44But he did so with his arm outraised.
03:50And it's a penalty for Paderborn.
03:56Oh, for Abel.
03:58And the arm is next to his chest.
04:01Well, there's a question to be asked as to whether he was enlarging his body there.
04:09It's Hünemeyer against Roman Berkey.
04:14It's Hünemeyer against Roman Berkey.
04:44Just got a fingertip to an almost Roman Berkey, but power and precision.
04:53Well, as we mentioned earlier, back in 2015, Paderborn came from two down.
04:57It's a salvage point that ends the Dortmund.
04:59This is Jadon Sancho, however.
05:02And that could put the game to bed.
05:03A moment of magic from Jadon Sancho puts Dortmund back in control.
05:09His second of the afternoon.
05:11And what a key goal that is.
05:18And exactly what he said.
05:19Good footwork from the back.
05:21Can to Guerrero.
05:23Perfect run.
05:24Drega is not inside to Hazard.
05:26Sturik is on the ground.
05:29Can't clear the situation.
05:30And then Sancho on his own in the middle of the park.
05:34Don't give him so much space.
05:36But I think first, you have to be positive.
05:39What a move from Borussia Dortmund.
05:44And Sancho only needing the half chance.
05:46Just a touch that took him away from Vassiades.
05:49That extra half a yard of space onto his left foot.
05:54And that's why Jadon Sancho is so invaluable to Borussia Dortmund.
06:02The 60th goal of the season.
06:05Jadon Sancho.
06:07The give and go.
06:08Togun Hazard still into the area.
06:10It's a good challenge.
06:11Still in momentum with Dortmund.
06:13And Marcel Schmeltzer.
06:14It's Hakimi.
06:15And it's four.
06:17And that is that.
06:18Done and dusted for Borussia Dortmund.
06:21And Asraf Hakimi continues his rich fame of scoring form since the restart.
06:28It's his second in four games.
06:32And he's put the game to bed.
06:33All three points heading to Borussia Dortmund now.
06:37And a very good move from the back to Kansi.
06:40He is already nearly done.
06:42Good run from Hazard.
06:44And then Schmeltzer is going forward.
06:48And a great layoff and a great finish.
06:51Now Borussia Dortmund is the winner of that game.
06:54For sure.
06:55They can't score through this game.
07:00The finish.
07:02Arrowed into the low corner by Asraf Hakimi.
07:07Singler got the touch.
07:09But just too much power on the shot.
07:11Go!
07:12Go!
07:12Go!
07:12Go!
07:12Go!
07:12Go!
07:13Go!
07:14Go!
07:15Perhaps a bit cruel on Paderborn, who've given as good as they've got for most of the match.
07:23Here's Morrell.
07:25He's really industrial since coming on as a substitute.
07:28And he's set Dortmund away again now.
07:30Now it's Jadon Sancho leading the charge for Borussia Dortmund.
07:33And seals his hat-trick.
07:36Jadon Sancho.
07:38What a second-half performance from the young English red.
07:44Cruel on Paderborn.
07:46But Borussia Dortmund, 6-1 up now.
07:49Yeah, but it's stupid defending.
07:52You have a corner.
07:53And then you give Borussia Dortmund the chance to play two against one.
07:58So you can't defend that moment.
08:00Hazard was ready to mistake before.
08:04Too many players are going forward.
08:08They were left exposed at the back.
08:11And Moray involved as he was in the Schmelzer goal as well.
08:15Quite an impression.
08:15He only had five minutes or so to make one.
08:18Mathieu Moray on his Bundesliga debut.
08:20The final whistle goes on what is in the end a very impressive victory for Borussia Dortmund.
08:26Jadon Sancho with a second-half hat-trick giving Dortmund all three points.
08:32It was Cruel on Paderborn who were at the races for lunch of the game.
08:35But in the end, Dortmund's class in the second 45 tolled.
08:39A devastating performance by them.
08:41They remain in the hunt at the top.
08:436-1 to Dortmund in the final.
