Dortmund-Chelsea. After a superb goal at the end of a solo rush, Karim Adeyemi offered victory to BVB against the Blues who can blame themselves (1-0) at the end of the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League.
23:50 – End of the live!
Thank you all for following the Dortmund – Chelsea live. As a reminder, the Germans won after a goal from Karim Adeyemi. See you soon on L’Internaute.com for other news.
23:40 – Chelsea can blame themselves
If the Blues are in danger after losing to Dortmund tonight (1-0), Graham Potter’s players can blame themselves. Indeed, João Felix found the crossbar in the first period without forgetting the rescue of Emre Can. Many occasions where the Londoners could have opened the scoring or equalized. After a rush from Adeyemi which opened the scoring, BVB was more efficient, thus taking the advantage in the score before the return confrontation which promises to be tense.
23:30 – A choppy second period
If the first half was rather calm in terms of faults, the return from the locker room was marked by a tougher engagement and a more choppy game. Evidenced by the eight yellow cards (ten in total) distributed by the referee of the meeting, Jesus Gil Manzano.
23:25 – Adeyemi man of the match
The only scorer in the Champions League round of 16 first leg against Chelsea (1-0), Karim Adeyemi was voted man of the match.
23:20 – A first period in history
The first half will not go down in history. Indeed, no shot was framed despite sixteen attempts.
16 – There were 16 first-half shots attempted between Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea, the co-highest total without a shot on target before the break in a Champions League game since Opta collected this data (2003/ 04). Awkward. #BVBCHE pic.twitter.com/WHCGIwQMC1
