Mid-term conclusion:
It is 1-1 at half-time in Borussia Dortmund’s Champions League home game against Sevilla FC. In an early phase, when the Andalusians were confident and physically present, Rakitić scraped them just wide of the lead in the 14th minute. A little later they scored the first goal with a header from Nianzou (18′). As a result, the black and yellow continued to shy away from ball possession, but at least caused a few dangerous moments after high conquests. Although the Sampaoli selection continued their concentrated performance against the ball, efficient black and yellow forced the equalizer: Bellingham converted a cross from Meunier directly (35th). In a final phase dominated by the hosts, the young Englishman missed a chance to score twice with a shot from mid-range (42′). See you soon!
