PSV gets the chance for the final kick.
The result for this moment is 1 : 1
And in the end PSV was able to match Dortmund's game. It's quite unfortunate here, once again Dortmund made mistakes that weren't really necessary. Meanwhile, for now, it is quite difficult for them to attack PSV to their crucial line. And now, conditions are getting even more difficult when the match is a draw. The results will be even more worrying because PSV sometimes gives unpleasant surprises to their opposing clubs.
The match between PSV and Dortmund was extremely difficult tonight since I wasn't expecting Dortmund to get the first goal, but they made a valiant attempt and dominated the first goal in the opening half. Because I know Dortmund isn't very strong, I was hoping PSV will win the match, but I'm not sure if it would end in a draw. PSV was also fortunate in that they attempted to improve their performance in the second half; otherwise, they would not have been able to level. Honestly, Dortmund played the match with a really serene mind; they truly wanted to win against PSV. They attempted to take advantage of PSV's poor performance in first half, that they would be easily defeated, but it was not occur. PSV prevented them from winning the match that's why they put much effort and make the match ended in draw.
Dortmund almost became German champions last year and only some sort of curse prevented them from beating Bayern. So Dortmund is a very strong team that can play on equal footing with the strongest groups, which is proved by the fact that from the group with PSG, Newcastle and Milan they went to 1/8 Champions League.
They should have won the match with PSV, but the referee awarded an extremely controversial penalty, which should not have been awarded, because the Dortmund player played into the ball, not into the feet of the PSV player and because of the referee's mistake Dortmund lost 3 points.
This result makes the rematch between the two teams tense and worth looking forward to. The opportunity to continue is still equally divided between both teams. Now, the psychological advantage belongs to the home team, Dortmund, in the second leg. Dortmund still has an excellent chance to reach the next round. Dortmund needs to do that at home. PSV will not go to Germany to face pressure. Dortmund needs to prepare best to welcome PSV.
Did you see that Jadon Sancho was one of the most disappointing players on Dortmund's side in this match? He was allowed to start from the start by coach Edin Terzic. Dortmund's most anticipated Sancho did not leave a mark and was replaced in the 68th minute. If Sancho does not improve his performance soon, it will be difficult for Dortmund to buy him outright from Man United.
