Despite their struggles in the Bundesliga, Borussia fans can at least take solace in the Champions League. Playing away in the first leg of the playoffs, the German team dominated in Portugal and now holds a comfortable advantage. Even a two-goal loss at Signal Iduna Park in the return leg would still see them through to the Round of 16.
After a tense first half, where Borussia was still the better side, the floodgates opened after the break. In the 60th minute, Guirassy broke the deadlock for the visitors. Sporting barely had time to react before Gross doubled the lead just eight minutes later.
Desperate to reduce the deficit, the Portuguese side threw everything forward in search of a goal. However, that left them vulnerable at the back, and Borussia took full advantage. In the 82nd minute, Adeyemi sealed the victory with Dortmund’s third, all but securing their spot in the next phase of the Champions League. Get the edge with ToSport.
