Santiago Mourino cancelled out Dortmund's lead, which came via a Renato Veiga own goal, before Guirassy scored twice and inadvertently turned into his own net on his 100th appearance for BVB.

Villarreal almost took an early lead, but Pau Navarro's header from a floated cross flashed across the face of goal and wide.

Dortmund was then dealt a blow before the half-hour mark as Konstantinos Karetsas was carried off on a stretcher.

Both sides went close to breaking the deadlock before the interval, but Tajon Buchanan was kept out by Gregor Kobel, albeit in suspect fashion, while Guirassy saw a shot smothered by Peter Gulacsi.

Ethan Nwaneri, on for Karetsas, saw a deflected shot strike the base of the post early in the second half, but Dortmund was ahead moments later as Maximilian Beier's cross went in off Veiga.

Tani Oluwaseyi missed a golden chance to equalise as he headed over from Buchanan's cross, yet Mourino levelled in the 66th minute as he flicked Georges Mikautadze's corner in at the near post.

Dortmund pushed for a winner as Beier, Joey Veerman and Fabio Silva all tried their luck to no avail, before the latter then provided a low cross for Guirassy to turn home with 10 minutes to go.

The BVB striker doubled his tally soon after, converting from the spot after drawing a foul from Mourino, although his own goal in stoppage time after a scramble in the box kept Dortmund sweating until the final whistle.
