Match Details
In a match that took place in Germany, the team from Dortmund secured their place in the 1/8 finals of the Champions League 2024/25 season, drawing 0:0 with Sporting. This was made possible by the Germans' victory over the Portuguese in the first leg with a score of 3:0.
Borussia controlled the game, not allowing the opponent to create dangerous moments. The closest to scoring was Marcel Sabitzer, who shot from afar, but Sporting's goalkeeper Rui Silva managed to deflect the ball.

In the second half, Dortmund's Borussia had a chance to score from a penalty, but Serhou Guirassy was unable to convert it as Silva saved the shot. Gio Reyna, who came on as a substitute, hit the post, but the team could not find the net.
