A great goal from Adeyemi defeated a reinforced Chelsea

Borussia Dortmund have been launched since the beginning of 2023. After winning their six games in the Bundesliga and the Cup, Edin Terzic’s team extended their excellent run in the Champions League today, beating the fortified Chelsea 1-0 in first leg of the round of 16 .

A great goal from Karim Adeyemi, after traveling alone 60 meters, gave the Germans a little success despite the fact that Graham Potter’s men, especially with a shot from Joao Félix towards on the crossbar, has scored several goals.

The game is played at a frenetic pace from the first whistle. The first half was dominated by Dortmund, although they had constant alternatives since Chelsea created danger in their counterattacks thanks to the interesting connection between Joao Félix and Mykhailo Mudryk on the left.

The Germans, led by a Jude Bellingham who always moves the ball carefully, were sharp on the right through Julian Brandt, their most fit player, but they lacked shooting success against the steadfast ‘blue’ defense.

Joao Félix, on the crossbar

At the other end, an outstanding Joao Félix provided a greater sense of danger whenever he got to the local area and had two clear chances before the break, first with a shot put into the squad which was missed of millimeters and, above all, another dive. with goalkeeper Gregor Kobel returning the crossbar after laying down Marius Wolf with a great change of pace.

Chelsea came out more determined in the second half, had a greater presence in the rival field, Joao Félix and Mudryk continued to destroy and 0-1 seemed to be an hour.

From a possible 0-1 to a lethal counter 1-0

However, a deadly counterattack from a corner kick, which almost resulted in a goal, in Kobel’s goal allowed Dortmund to go ahead as it went through its worst moment of the game.

Karim Adeyemi still received his field and began a solo 60-meter gallop with Enzo Fernández, who was closing, as the only obstacle. The Argentinian endured him until the striker cut in as he entered the area, beat Kepa’s exit and scored into an empty goal (63′).

});

Chelsea, who have only picked up three straight Premier League draws despite their astronomical reinforcements in January, stood up this time for their ambition and never stopped attacking in search of a goal. Emre Çan, providential, took a powerful shot from Kalidou Koulibaly on the line that Kobel didn’t quite catch (77′).

But this Dortmund won consistently, defended tooth and nail, fought back and gained a slight edge. Kobel, with his last breath, avoided Enzo Fernández’s 1-1 with a save. Stamford Bridge will pass sentence on March 7.
