Borussia Dortmund won a brilliant victory over Atletico Madrid to register their name in the semi-finals of the Champions League.
Losing 1-2 in the first leg, Dortmund was forced to attack strongly from the first minute when hosting Atletico Madrid in the quarter-final second leg at home at Signal Iduna Park.
Many opportunities were created by both teams, making the competition exciting.
At minute 34, Dortmund also got the opening goal. Mats Hummels had a beautiful pass for Julian Brandt to escape and hit a diagonal shot that beat goalkeeper Jan Oblak.
5 minutes later, it was Ian Maatsen’s turn with a dangerous shot, forcing Oblak into the net for the second time to pick up the ball.
Ian Maatsen’s indescribable joy.
Being behind, Atletico Madrid was forced to attack with all their might. The Spanish representative enjoyed joy at the beginning of the second half, after Hummels’s own goal in a corner.
Not stopping yet, in the 64th minute, Atletico equalized 2-2, increasing the total score after 2 matches to 4-3 thanks to 2 consecutive shots from Angel Correa.
If this result stays the same, Atletico will continue.

And in the 74th minute, Sabitzer played the role of Dortmund’s hero with the decisive goal, increasing the match score to 4-2. Although Atletico tried their best to attack afterward, they were completely powerless.
