Borussia Dortmund punched its ticket to the knockout round of the Europa League with a convincing 4-0 win over FK Qabala.
Goals from Marco Reus, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Henrik Mkhitaryan, including an own goal, ensured the Bundesliga club a spot in the Round of 32 with two matches remaining.
Mkhitaryan's stunning strike capped off the evening when the Armenian collected a pass at the edge of the box and smoothly turned around before unleashing a powerful shot beyond Dawid Pietrzkiewicz.
Dortmund will be able to secure top spot in Group C if it manages to register a point against FC Krasnodar on Nov. 26.
