😳 Extra time looms, Dortmund off to a poor start in Bergamo

Worst-case scenario in the second leg of the Champions League playoffs: Borussia Dortmund is trailing Atalanta Bergamo after less than 20 minutes.

The home team, needing to overcome a 0:2 deficit from the first leg against BVB, scored after just five minutes to take the lead – directly exploiting a well-known Dortmund weakness.

Just like in the Bundesliga match against Leipzig, Dortmund was outplayed on the left side of their defense.

After a cross from Bernasconi and an unfortunate clearance attempt by Bensebaini, it was Gianluca Scamacca who was able to slot in for the 1:0 lead.

Even though BVB would still advance at this point, the Black and Yellows should be warned by now. It won't be easy today. 

It is now 3:0 for Bergamo. As it stands, Borussia Dortmund would be out.
