Dortmund takes advantage of Chelsea’s jinx

Dortmund takes advantage of Chelsea’s jinx

The Germans take advantage with a great goal from Adeyemi against a ‘blue’ team that took another step forward with Joao Félix without luck

MADRID, 15 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) –

Borussia Dortmund stayed (1-0) in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 against Chelsea to travel to London with the small income from Adeyemi’s great goal, despite the good version of the English with Joao Félix at the front but no aim.

When the Dortmund team suffered the most, in the middle of the rival corner kick, Adeyemi caught the ball 60 meters from Kepa’s goal and driving without help he went from Enzo Fernández and the Spanish goalkeeper to make it 1-0 in the minute 63. Within three weeks, Chelsea will seek better fortune at Stamford Bridge.

Looking as good as ever, Signal Iduna Park enjoyed a nice comeback from the ‘Champions’, a duel with hardly any midfield and with a strange 0-0 scoreline at half-time due to the number of arrivals. Dortmund did more, but the best chances were from the English, under the signature of a stellar Joao Félix.

The player on loan from Atlético de Madrid did a bit of everything, but forgave two very clear goal options. The Portuguese started out by countering Chelsea, the favorite weapon of the visitors against the script of German dominance. Julian Brandt was growing to give life to the game of a Dortmund turned towards the rival goal with Bellingham and Haller, in addition to the entry of the wings.

However, the local team lacked precision in the last meters and Kepa did not have to stop any. Meanwhile, between Félix and Mudryk they gave electricity to the English offensive and the Portuguese also signed up for the shot. The first, offside, but then he had a shot deflected up and a ball hit the crossbar.

With a great change of pace to leave Wolf nailed, Joao Félix found the woodwork in the 38th minute. Chelsea increased their dominance and ability to arrive, although the wear and tear of the match was also noticeable. Brandt cut off the visiting monologue but Dortmund suffered when, after a corner kick for Félix, Adeyemi took the ball almost from goal to goal (1-0).

Chelsea, with a victory in their last seven games in the English league, looked for a well-deserved reward and touched it with a point-blank shot from Koulibaly that Can took under the sticks. The Germans defended themselves as they hadn’t done in almost the entire campaign, with a last one from Enzo, to extend the jinx of Graham Potter’s men, who improve with their strong investment in transfers but do not achieve happiness.
