Dortmund are safely through to the quarter-finals of the Champions League after eventually seeing off Zenit St Petersburg, though the night was embroiled in battles and blood.
Late on in the game, Zenit midfielder Tomas Hubocan clashed with Robert Lewandowski and was left down on the floor with a large gash.
Also, visiting fans were pictured burning a Germany flag in the stands while their team toiled on the pitch.
With a 4-2 away win in the bank, Borussia held almost all of the cards and played them conservatively to secure their passage even as they lost 2-1 on home soil.
Hulk's 16th-minute wonder strike for Zenit was cancelled out by Sebastian Kehl seven minutes before half-time, and although Zenit substitute Rondon scored a second with 17 minutes to go, there was little threat of them getting back on level terms.
The only significant negative for Jurgen Klopp was a yellow card for star striker Robert Lewandowski, ruling him out of their next match.
