Commentary
All the action comes in the second half in Germany, as Dortmund beat Betis 2-1 in the Champions League! The best chance of the first half fell to Svensson, but the Swede forced a fine stop from close range. The hosts took a 49th minute lead, as Valles stopped Bellingham’s effort, before Silva charged in and smashed home from inside the six-yard box. Ruibal equalised just minutes after his introduction, as the Spaniard was found inside the area by Ezzalzouli, and beat Kobel from close range. Quickly after the Betis equaliser, Valles produced another crucial stop from Bellingham, before minutes later, letting a tame effort from Karetsas slip past him. The hosts managed to accumulate an impressive xG of 2.41 on the night, whilst Betis could only muster up 0.82 xG. The result leaves the sides level on points, with Betis in 11th and Dortmund just behind in 12th. Next up for Dortmund is a trip to London, as they face Arsenal at the Emirates. For Betis, they host Slovan Bratislava, who are pointless and bottom of the Champions League. Thank you all for tuning into tonight’s match and have a nice evening.
