Dortmund beat PSV to reach UCL quarters
Borussia Dortmund reached the Champions League quarter-finals for the first time in three years thanks to goals from Jadon Sancho and Marco Reus against PSV Eindhoven.
Sancho’s low driving shot from the edge of the area gave Dortmund the lead in the third minute.
Edin Terzic’s side had a second goal ruled out as Niclas Fullkrug was deemed to be offside in the build-up.
Substitute Reus pounced on a PSV mistake deep in stoppage time to finish one-on-one against away goalkeeper Walter Benitez and settled the tie.
PSV had numerous opportunities to equalise, with Hirving Lozano particularly wasteful, and Peter Bosz’s side – who are 10 points clear at the top of the Eredivisie – were punished for their squandering.
