The Norwegian put the ball in the web five minutes following the restart with a outstanding effort, but in an extraordinary VAR review, the referee Cuneyt Cakir first disallowed the target for a foul by Haaland and then awarded Dortmund a penalty for a shirt-pull on the striker a few minutes earlier.
