Borussia Dortmund must be concerned about the quarter -final of the Champions League after a crisis in the second period against Losc Lille. The team of coach Niko Kovac only arrived at a 1-1 (1-0) against the fifth in France in the round of 16, who started with Ethan Mbappé, the 18-year-old brother of Topstar Kylian Mbappé in the leading class.
Karim Adeyemi (22nd minute) had taken the game dortmund before the break. After the break, Hákon Arnar Haraldson (68th) marked for the guests now stronger to compensate. The return match in the north of France will take place next Wednesday. If Dortmund makes the progress, there could be a duel with FC Barcelona and coach Hansi Flick in the last eight.
With the last two consecutive victories of Bundesliga and a new defensive stability under Kovac, who had resumed the giant of the Tumbling district a month ago, BVB entered the first leg with a rear wind. At first, the Bundesliga -based game was determined. Lille, on the other hand, looked nervous in the first round of 16 in the first class. It was only in the second round that the French accompanied by around 8,000 fans.
In Lille, Ethan Mbappé played a little surprising from the start, but could not define accents. The guests recalled only the performance of the preliminary round after the break, in which they had qualified directly for the round of 16 unlike BVB as seventh. There, they had won against Real Madrid and Atlético, among others.
The advance for black and yellow managed by a rich direct acceptance of Adeyemis at around 18 meters. The ball had jumped in front of the 23 -year -old man in front of a corner. It was the fifth goal of the Champions League for him this season. The sometimes serious errors of Lilles in the structure did not use BVB for other strokes before the break. The supposed 2: 0 per Pascal Groß after a corner was not given again due to the overtime in the first time in the first half.
That the BVB was not more consistent before the break. Lille became more courageous after the break and no longer seemed it inhibited. During compensation, the recently so resistant Defense in Dortmund acted other than sovereign. Nothing has advanced to BVB either.
