Tottenham started with a 3-4-3 formation, in which Moura, Son Heung-min and Eriksen were the highest players. On the other side, the young English player of Dortmund - Jadon Sancho has the opportunity to show himself under the supervision of England head coach Gareth Southgate.
The home team played high-altitude pressing after the opening whistle. However, Tottenham did not leave much of an impression on the attack front in the first half. They will find it difficult to break Dortmund's disciplined, solid defensive system.
Son Heung-min is active in moving but his teammates are not good at connecting with him. At the back, Juan Foyth had two careless moves. Fortunately for the player wearing the number 21, Pulisic could not take advantage of his mistake in the 15th minute to put the away team ahead.
Although Dortmund started slowly, they gradually put pressure on Hugo Lloris' goal. Jadon Sancho is a bright spot in the German attack thanks to his active ability on the right wing.
He was the one who contributed to creating the most dangerous opportunity in the first half. Sancho's cross helped Zagadou head the ball, causing Hugo Lloris to do his best to save the "Rooster". The first half ended without any goals scored.
However, Spurs opened the scoring early in the second half. Son Heung-min comfortably cushioned the ball successfully after Jan Vertonghen's cross. Zagadou was at fault for Dortmund's goal.
This was the start of Tottenham's better half. Coach Pochettino's students deployed the ball at speed with high determination. Their midfield completely controlled the midfield. For that reason, Dortmund could not create as much trouble as before.
The second goal came for Tottenham in the 83rd minute. Jan Vertonghen suddenly entered the opponent's penalty area, cushioning the ball accurately after a pass from Serge Aurier.
Just 3 minutes later, the home team's fans celebrated again. This time, the striker who headed the scoring was the new striker who came on to replace Fernando Llorente.
The remaining time of the match was not enough for Dortmund to get an honorary goal in this match. The 3-0 victory helped Tottenham set one foot in the quarter-finals even though they have 90 minutes left at Signal Iduna Park in 3 weeks.
In the match at the same time, Real Madrid beat the home team Ajax Amsterdam with a score of 2-1. Karim Benzema and Marco Asensio scored for the "White Vultures". Ziyech helps the Dutch representative have some capital before the trip to Bernabeu.
