Borussia Dortmund's head coach Niko Kovac expressed satisfaction with his team's performance during their 0-0 draw against Sporting, which secured their place in the Champions League round of 16. Despite the match ending without goals, the team showcased strong defensive capabilities, achieving only their second clean sheet in 16 matches. Kovac praised the players for their focus and control throughout the game but noted that they need to improve in converting scoring opportunities, highlighting a need for greater assertiveness in the attacking zone.
We controlled the game and didn't concede anything over 90 minutes. The bottom line is that we've progressed. The team played with great concentration today.
We didn't concede anything, were very good defensively and were able to create momentum going forward in the second half.
At the moment, we lack the gallantry to capitalise on the chances we have in the box. You have to give the lads a good talking to.
