Borussia Dortmund tightened their grip on Group C by easing to a 3-1 victory over Qabala in Azerbaijan.
It was another successful evening for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who continued his fine form by leading the way with a hat-trick as Dortmund recovered from a sluggish start.
Cabala added a consolation when Dodo slotted home in stoppage time, but the win was never in doubt as Dortmund moved a step closer to the knockout stage of the Europa League.
