Europa League Roundup: Dortmund Crush Odds, Southampton Crash out

Borussia Dortmund crushed Odds BK 7-2 on Thursday to clinch a spot in the 2015-16 UEFA Europa League group stage. Coupled with last week's 4-3 comeback win in Norway, the result completed an 11-5 aggregate victory for the Bundesliga side.

Marco Reus scored a hat-trick for Dortmund, who scored six unanswered goals after trailing 1-0 briefly in the first half. Shinji Kagawa netted twice, and Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Ilkay Gundogan added one goal each.

Ole Jorgen Halvorsen gave Odds a short-lived lead with a 19th-minute header, and Oliver Berger added a second-half consolation.

It was a total team effort from Dortmund, with all the goalscorers combining well throughout the match.
