Borussia Dortmund 1-2 Manchester City: Foden takes Citizens to Semis2 min read

Borussia Dortmund hosted Manchester City at the Signal Iduna Park as they looked to make a comeback in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals.

The visitors join the game having won last week 2-1 in the first leg, with a late goal from Phil Foden.

This game kicked off with an aggressive start from BVB, as the hosts pressed on the four-time Premier League winners in the opening minutes.

England prospect Jude Bellingham started to shine with his movement on the ball and it didn’t take long for him to make a breakthrough for Dortmund.

Bellingham converted a spectacular chance in the first 15 minutes, curling the ball into the net from 20-yards out.

Many have been keeping a keen eye on him (as well as Foden) for the upcoming Euros tournament in the Summer.

City looked reckless on the ball for the first 20-minutes or so, but they soon showed warning signs to the hosts in the form of Kevin De Bruyne.

The Belgian midfield maestro was in his element in the first half, scaring Dortmund with a cracker of a shot 20-yards out that hit the bar.

The first half ended with Borussia Dortmund leading 1-0.

In the second half, the Sky Blues were looking to break their Champions League curse and qualify into the semis.

An unfortunate header by Emre Can in the Dortmund box connected with his hand and City were awarded a penalty.

In the 55^th minute, Riyad Mahrez equalised for the visitors from the penalty spot. Despite missing a few crucial penalties in the past, the winger remained calm and composed, driving the ball into the far corner.

City were more dominant in the second half even though Mats Hummels had a solid chance to head the ball in their net just before the 70-minute mark.

Phil Foden made his mark again by scoring the tiebreaker in the 74^th minute. From a set-piece the Englishman drilled the ball near-post from his left foot. He ran to Pep Guardiola to give a massive hug along with his teammates.

Up to the final minute, Manchester City were giving it their all with multiple chances.

The game ended 2-1 (4-2 on aggregate) for Manchester City who have qualified to the semi-finals for the first time.
