Nikifora, despite being injured for most of the match, started the new Champions League n Dortmund. With two goals of the golden change, Jamie Gittensin 76′ and 86′, escaped 3-0 from Belgium against Club Brugge. The latter had incredible opportunities to precede, with Christos Joli to make a very good debut in the Champions League until he was substituted in the 85th minute.
The hosts squandered a huge double chance in the 12th minute, when Kobel first saved Onientika’s shot and Vetlesen sent the ball over the crossbar with a touch.
The Belgians shouted in vain in the 33rd minute for Jolie’s overthrow by Sloterbeck, with the referee and VAR agreeing that there was no penalty.
Borussia continued the chatter of the first part in the second as well, with Club Brugge still missing, as in the 55th minute Vanaken shot high from a very good position, while Jolly’s effort in the 59th minute had the same luck. Kobel saved Vetlesen’s shot in the right corner in the 63rd minute, with the “bombardment” of the Westphalia home continuing.
Nuri Sahin made massive changes to wake up his team and he was vindicated, as in the 76th minute Gittens, eight minutes after he had replaced Zabitcher, made a right-footed shot and with the help of the opposition scored 0-1. The goal broke the home team’s mind and gave wings to Borussia, who after threatening with Brandt in the 81st minute, “cleaned up” the match with the same scorer in the 86th minute. In the 93rd minute, Girassi was knocked down by Mehele in the area and he himself made the final score (0-3) from the white bullet.

Club Brugge (Hagen): Mignolet-Seiss (75′ Sabe), Mechele, Ordoniez, de Kuyper-Vettelesen (85′ Vermant), Onientika, Skov Olsen, Vanaken, Jolis (85′ Talby)-Nilsson (65′ Zutgla)
