Dortmund made the most of a dominant start when they opened the scoring in the 10th minute when Guinea international Guirassy bagged his third goal in as many games with a close-range finish.
Sabah had the ball in the back of the net on 29 minutes when Joy-Lance Mickels slotted home from close range, however the celebrations were cut short as the striker flagged for being an offside position.
The hosts did get back on level terms as McCarthy opened his account in the Champions League with a lovely glancing header.

Dortmund, however, restored their lead eight minutes after the interval when Guirassy got on the end of Joey Veerman’s cross and volleyed home to complete his brace.
Sabah were unable to find a way back into the contest and were condemned to their first defeat in all competitions this campaign.
McCarthy and Sabah will switch focus to Sunday’s league encounter against rivals Qarabag.
