Dortmund toppled Atletico with a 4-2 win at Signal Induna Park. Madrid’s defense suffered in the face of German movements.
After Atletico’s first leg victory, Dortmund faced a perilous task at the foot of its yellow wall: the Colchoneros have no equal in defending tooth and nail a one-goal advantage in a knockout match.
But shortly after the half-hour mark, Borussia completely unlocked this second leg by scoring twice in five minutes.
After Julian Brandt’s opener, Ian Maatsen pressed on the weaknesses on the right side of Atletico’s defense. Taking advantage of Marcel Sabitzer’s incursion, the Dutchman left company Axel Witsel to open a shooting window and conclude calmly. Maatsen is loaned to Dortmund from Chelsea after bringing joy to Burnley last year.
