BVB back in the race in the Champions League – Leipzig on course for the round of 16

Golden Nmecha goal

Third game, first win – an away coup at Newcastle United helped Borussia Dortmund get back on track in the Champions League. Similar to last time in the Bundesliga, coach Edin Terzic’s team appeared in significantly improved form in the European premier class and celebrated a 1-0 (1-0) win against the Premier League club on Wednesday.

In the heated atmosphere of the sold-out St. James’ Park, BVB showed a cool head. New signing Felix Nmecha (45th minute) scored the hard-fought victory in front of 52,000 spectators after strong preparatory work from Nico Schlotterbeck, which helped them move up to third place in the difficult Group F. Another win in the second duel with the English at home in two weeks would further improve the starting position.

RB Leipzig celebrated a landmark victory in the Champions League and can move into the round of 16 in just two weeks. Coach Marco Rose’s team ultimately won comfortably 3-1 (1-0) against Red Star Belgrade on Wednesday and, as second in Group G, can complete the knockout phase with a win in the second leg in two weeks. In front of 42,209 fans, national players David Raum (13th), Xavi Simons (59th) and Dani Olmo (84th) scored for the hosts, while Marko Stamenic (70th) scored the next goal.
