Champions League: Borussia Dortmund vs Inter Milan match report
Lautaro Martinez opened the scoring for the visitors as early as the 5th minute before Mattias Vecino handed Inter Milan a two-goal advantage before the break courtesy of an outstanding first-half. However, Borussia Dortmund produced an even better second half. Achraf Hakimi started the comeback when he converted Mario Gotze's cross from close range in the 51st minute. Soon, Julian Brandt equalised for the home side after an error by Mattias Vecino was pounced on by Paco Alcacer before he found Brandt with an inch-perfect pass. Inter Milan were seemingly rattled when Hakimi scored his second and Dortmund's third to complete a thrilling comeback. Jadon Sancho's through ball was hammered in by the Real Madrid loanee into the back of the net to erupt the stadium. Dortmund could have actually had another one in the dying minutes of the game only for Paco Aclacer to miss from close range.
