Borussia Dortmund clearly dominated at Signal Iduna Park last night and 2:0 was the least Porto could get away with. If, Porto don’t improve for the rematch, they hardly have any chances to overcome a 2:0 lead against such an opponent.
Last night, it almost seemed it was too easy for the home side and most observers were expecting by far more competitive match. Dortmund had the ball possession and made 19 shots, while Porto made just 3 attempts.
Porto have nothing to lose in the next match, so they might take greater risks, which will surely result in a much more exciting game.
