Double in the first leg, two goals in the second leg: Thanks to Erling Haaland, Borussia Dortmund are among the top eight teams in Europe for the first time in four years. Like three weeks ago in Seville, the Norwegian scored 2-2 (1-0) in the round of 16 duel with the Spanish in an inimitable way (35th / 54th penalty).
The Champions League top scorer with ten goals now brought the Revierklub not only a huge prestige gain, but also additional bonuses of € 10.5 million. The goals against Youssef En-Nesyri (69./Foul penalty and 90. + 6) brought Dortmund after 3: 2 in the first leg that were no longer critical. “It was turbulent. We are happy. It feels really great,” BVB coach Edin Terzic said after the match, “It is not natural that we go that far. Now being in the top eight in Europe makes us very satisfied. Erling Haaland it is simply exceptional. ”
Terzic is not satisfied at first
Three days after 2: 4 in the Bundesliga against Bayern, BVB came under great pressure in the early stages. Shortly before the game, coach Edin Terzic warned about the “very dangerous” specialists of the European Cup who wanted to recover with all their might the deficit of the first leg. BVB goalkeeper Marwin Hitz was challenged by Lucas Ocampos with a long-range shot in the 3rd minute, Suso’s attempt missed (18). Terzic wasn’t entirely satisfied on the sidelines. In preparation for the game, BVB, which had to do without several high-performance players, initially lacked a clear and calm line. Jadon Sancho’s pace was lost a lot, and Raphael Guerreiro and Giovanni Reyna also failed to get into shape in time. Terzic ordered Captain Marco Reus to the left.
Dortmund tour from “nowhere”
After half an hour, BVB boss Hans-Joachim Watzke sat stoically with his arms crossed on the stands. So, out of nowhere, BVB seized its first opportunity to take the lead. After winning the ball in the Spanish half, Reus carefully placed Haaland in the middle, who also scored a goal in his sixth premier-class game this season. The young Norwegian took Reus in his arms with glee. The guests, who had recently lost three competitive matches in a row, reacted annoyed.
The record of champion of the small European Cup (UEFA Cup and Europa League) now needed three goals to advance, but did not create clear chances before the break. BVB, meanwhile, have been getting closer and closer to the first quarter-finals since 2016/17, when Revierklub was eliminated in the worst circumstances of the team bus bombing against AS Monaco.
VAR in continuous use
Shortly after the restart, referee Cüneyt Çakır and his team added another curiosity to the story of the video evidence. The referee whistled the alleged and probably after the offensive foul, he scored 2-0 for Haaland and instead gave BVB a penalty for a foul almost a minute earlier. Yassine Bounou saved Haaland’s penalty and also a margin (52.). Because the Sevilla goalkeeper had stepped off the line too early, the penalty was repeated and Haaland scored. The BVB forward saw yellow for the unsportsmanlike gesture of jubilation in the direction of Bounou (55th).
Sevilla did not give up and continued to besiege half of Dortmund. Emre Can caused the penalty with a push against former Bundesliga professional Luuk de Jong. En-Nesyri turned safely and caused a brief high tension seconds before the end. “In the end, it was again unnecessarily tight. That was a great fight today,” said licensed player boss Sebastian Kehl at Sky, “we deserved it.”
Dortmund now against Hertha BSC
Borussia will face Hertha BSC in the next league match (13.03.21, 18.30 hours), while FC Sevilla will have to go to the city derby against Betis (14.03.21, 21.00 hours) after being eliminated from the Champions League .
