"Dortmund failed to clear Pedro Porro's 13th-minute corner, and Wilson Odobert recycled it, drilling a low centre towards the penalty spot, where Romero guided it past Gregor Kobel first time. BVB found themselves further on the back foot when Daniel Svensson was sent off for a high tackle on Odobert, with his yellow card upgraded to a red following a VAR review."
"Julian Ryerson curled a free-kick just wide of the left post in Dortmund's best chance, before Xavi Simons forced Kobel into a near-post parry from a tight angle. Randal Kolo Muani could have added some late gloss after racing onto a throughball while one-on-one with the stranded Kobel, but he hit his low shot straight at the grateful goalkeeper. Nico Schlotterbeck almost salvaged some late pride for Dortmund, but Guglielmo Vicario made a stunning save to help ease some of the pressure on Frank."
Cristian Romero and Dominic Solanke scored their first Champions League goals as Tottenham beat 10-man Borussia Dortmund 2-0 at home. Wilson Odobert created both goals, recycling Pedro Porro’s corner for Romero’s opener and driving down the right before squaring for Solanke’s scuffed finish on his first start of the season. Daniel Svensson was sent off after a VAR review upgraded his yellow to a red for a high tackle on Odobert. Dortmund had chances through Julian Ryerson, Xavi Simons and Randal Kolo Muani but failed to score, with Guglielmo Vicario making a key save. Spurs stayed perfect at home in this Champions League campaign and moved up to fourth with one game remaining, while Thomas Frank faces increased scrutiny after recent league struggles including a home defeat to West Ham.
