Dortmund in control

Borussia Dortmund knew avoiding defeat in the Netherlands would greatly enhance the team’s chances of going through to the next stage. They achieved their first goal by earning a hard-fought but thoroughly well-deserved draw in the first leg, with the game ending 1-1 on Tuesday, February 20th. Malen scored the first goal to give Borussia an early lead, but they were pegged back by PSV, who equalised through de Jong in 56 minutes. A two-goal draw was a fair result on the balance of play.

Borussia Dortmund warmed up for this game with an eye-catching 2-1 weekend win achieved away to Werder Bremen. It was a game most followers of German football expected Dortmund to win, but the players deserve full credit for getting the job done in style. They scored two goals in the first half and finished the match with ten men after Sabitzer saw read at the end of the first 45. Bremen scored near the end to keep things competitive, but it was little more than a consolation goal.

PSV remains in the mix

PSV Eindhoven understands they missed a golden opportunity to use home advantage to claim a first-leg lead, but they remain in the mix and travel to Germany, planning to cause an upset and spoil the party. The Eredivisie giants fell behind at home to Dortmund but showed the character and willingness needed to bounce back and secure a draw. Defeat at home would’ve proven costly, but a draw keeps things interesting ahead of this decisive second leg. PSV knows a win on Wednesday sends them through.

The visitors must keep it simple and forget the issues of the first leg. They would’ve learned a lot about their opponents in February’s game and will now believe they have the measure of Borussia Dortmund. The visitors arrive in town on the back of a 1-0 away win achieved against Go Ahead Eagles on Friday evening, with Dest scoring the winning goal inside the opening 10 minutes of play.

A strong case could be made for both teams winning this game, but Dortmund is the home side and that will give them a vital advantage.

Both teams showed they were capable of scoring goals in the first leg, and there wasn’t too much between the sides. Another close match is expected, but if Borussia plays anywhere near their best, they should have enough to sneak through.
