Borussia Dortmund advanced to the Champions League quarter-finals after securing a victory against PSV Eindhoven, with goals from Jadon Sancho and Marco Reus proving decisive. Sancho broke the deadlock in the third minute with a powerful strike from outside the box, giving Dortmund an early lead.
Despite having a second goal disallowed due to an offside decision, Dortmund sealed their win in stoppage time when substitute Reus capitalized on a PSV error to score past goalkeeper Walter Benitez.
PSV had several chances to level the score, with Hirving Lozano missing key opportunities, including a close-range shot that went wide and another saved by Dortmund’s goalkeeper Gregor Kobel. The match saw Dortmund’s dominance rewarded and PSV’s Champions League journey come to an end in disappointment.
