Stop PSV Eindhoven, Dortmund Advances to Champions League Quarter-Finals

Dortmund, Beritasatu.com – Jadon Sancho and Marco Reus scored goals to secure Borussia Dortmund's 2-0 victory over PSV Eindhoven in the second leg of the Champions League last 16, Thursday (14/3/2024) morning WIB in Dortmund. The German club qualified for the last eight of the Champions League for the first time in three years with a 3-1 aggregate.

Sancho, on loan from Manchester United, fired his shot through the legs of the Eindhoven player in the third minute. It was his second goal in two games, after Sancho returned to Dortmund in January 2024 on loan from United.

He joined United from Dortmund for a transfer fee of 85 million euros (US$ 93 million) in 2021 on a five-year contract. But in Manchester, he failed to retain a place in the first team and made just three appearances this season before returning to Germany in January.

Sancho also scored in last Saturday's 2-1 Bundesliga win against Werder Bremen.

PSV Eindhoven, who last reached the quarter-finals in 2007, improved after the break with substitute Hirving Lozano firing a 25-metre shot into the net. However, the ball still hit the goal post.

Johan Bakayoko then dribbled past defender Mats Hummels, forcing Dortmund goalkeeper Gregor Kobel into a fine save in the 70th minute as PSV Eindhoven continued to push for an equaliser.

Another PSV player, Luuk de Jong, could have sent the match into extra time when he was allowed to move freely in front of goal. However, his shot only sent the ball flying wildly over the crossbar in stoppage time.

Dortmund then hit back with Reus ensuring the home team's victory.
