Jadon Sancho Helps Borussia Dortmund Beat PSV, Into Champions League Quarters | Football News

[ad_1] A third-minute goal from Jadon Sancho and Marco Reus' late strike sent Borussia Dortmund through to the Champions League last eight with a 2-0 win on Wednesday, sealing a 3-1 aggregate victory. Level at 1-1 after the last-16 first leg in the Netherlands, Sancho wasted no time in putting Dortmund ahead at the Westfalenstadion with a low shot from outside the area -- his first Champions League goal since November 2021. Dortmund were shaky despite the early lead and needed a fair share of luck and some poor PSV finishing to progress, with Hirving Lozano's 53rd-minute effort hitting the post.PSV pushed forwards in stoppage time looking for an equaliser but instead gave away another goal, as Isaac Babadi's unfortunate slip allowed Reus to seal the win."It feels very nice," said Dortmun...
