The ultimate joy of Dortmund people
GOAL
+ Dortmund:Lewandowski (40'), Reus (90+1'), Santana (90+3')
+ Malaga:Joaquin (25'), Eliseu (82')
Right before the match started, Dortmund fans formed an impressive formation in the stands of Signal Iduna Park with the message “On the way to find the lost Champions League trophy”. But the home team almost “lost their way” in the first minutes.
Seemingly too cautious after the 0-0 draw in the first leg, the team led by coach Jurgen Klopp entered the game too slowly. Dortmund were even more "frozen" than the guests who had just been struck by lightning while traveling by plane in Spain. Dortmund had to pay the price for that deadlocked start with a goal in the 25th minute. Joaquin confidently dribbled the ball before finishing accurately from just outside the penalty area.
It wasn't until the 40th minute that Dortmund finally shook off their pressure. Lewandowski calmly equalized after a very delicate backheel from Reus.
In a situation where only a win in the second leg would guarantee a semi-final ticket, the home team had to attack in the second half. Unfortunately, Reus and Goetze's delicious shots could not beat Malaga goalkeeper Caballero.
Attacking a lot without scoring, Dortmund received a cold shower in the 82nd minute. Eliseu scored easily after a sharp counter-attack by Malaga.
It seemed like the semi-final ticket belonged to Malaga, but two consecutive goals by Reus and Santana in the last minutes caused Malaga to be "struck by lightning" again.
