The Madrilenians shook like their posts at the end of the match, but finally won 2-1 against Dortmund, Wednesday April 10, in the quarter-final first leg of the Champions League, at the Metropolitano. THE Borussen woke up too late. They reduced the gap thanks to a goal from Sébastien Haller (81st), and then hit the crossbar twice in the final minutes (87th and 90th +6). Goals from Rodrigo De Paul (4th) and Samuel Lino (32nd) were enough for the Colchoneros to win.
The score does not fully reflect the domination of the Spaniards who, despite their low rate of ball possession (33%), shot and scored more than the Germans (9 shots on target to 4). After opening the score, Atlético completely stifled Borussia, cornered in their camp and totally dominated in the physical impact. Antoine Griezmann, in all the good shots, did not score, but he stood out by delivering an assist to Lino. THE Colchoneros nevertheless relaxed in the second half, but the Germans wasted several opportunities to come back to score, facing an imperial Jan Oblak in goal.
The reduction in the gap signed by Haller preserves the suspense, and the Rojiblancosdespite their precious advantage, will have to overcome their difficulties away during the return match in the heat Westfalenstadion Tuesday April 15.
