GOAL:
Dortmund:Reus (23', 36')
Real Madrid made things difficult for themselves by playing low and giving the game to Dortmund. And the home team did not miss this opportunity when they attacked very strongly. However, Real was unexpectedly awarded a penalty in the 16th minute because Piszczek touched the ball with his hand in the penalty area. Unfortunately, Di Maria missed the opportunity from the 11m mark.
Real Madrid paid the price for missing their chance. In the 24th minute, Pepe carelessly passed the ball back to Marco Reus, and the young star did not miss the opportunity to score. Dortmund's spirit was very high after the opening goal. And the dream of a comeback was ignited for the German team in the 37th minute. Their hero was Reus. He appeared at the right place after Lewandowski's shot hit the post and then shot the rebound into the roof of Real's net.
Dortmund continued to rise in the second half and made Real live in panic. In the 65th minute, Mkhitaryan even went past goalkeeper Iker Casillas, but unfortunately his shot hit the post. Real fans continued to experience extreme fear. Casillas had to work at full capacity to help Real escape the third goal. Real was extremely lucky to only lose 0-2.
Real are still through to the semi-finals thanks to a 3-0 first-leg win, but they have just endured a nightmare in Dortmund.
