Borussia Dortmund vs PSV score, result, highlights from UEFA Champions League as Sancho, Reus seal quarterfinal place image

Borussia Dortmund somehow found a way past PSV in the Round of 16 to reach the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday.

Goals from Jadon Sancho and Marco Reus were enough to send BVB into Friday's draw at the expense of the Eredivisie leaders, who were arguably the better side on the night at Signal Iduna Park but could not capitalise on their chances.

BVB were held to a 1-1 draw in the Netherlands in the first leg, with Luuk de Jong equalising after the visitors had gone in front thanks to a deflected Donyell Malen strike. In the end, it was De Jong's miss with just seconds remaining that proved critical to the outcome of this tie.

Having largely dominated the second half in search of an equaliser following Sancho's first-half opener, the ball dropped to De Jong 12 yards from Gregor Kobel's goal deep into stoppage time. Leaning back, the striker lifted his finish over the bar before dropping to his knees, his head in his hands.

Barely 60 seconds later, Reus showed far greater composure to roll home the crucial second after a slip from Isaac Babadi. The final whistle then blew, Dortmund celebrated, and PSV fans and players could barely believe it.

Sancho started the match with the confidence of a man who had just scored his first goal since his return to Dortmund at the weekend. Starting from the left, he gave Jordan Teze a torrid first few minutes; with three on the clock, he swept a clever low shot into the bottom corner from the edge of the box, giving BVB the aggregate lead they deserved. "There's no better feeling than that," Sancho said of his first home goal for Dortmund since leaving for Manchester United in 2021.

But if PSV had looked shell-shocked in those early exchanges, it didn't last. They began to assume greater control and pose a more consistent threat to Kobel, although clear-cut chances eluded them.

In the second half, Dortmund were forced into survival mode. Substitute Hirving Lozano was inches from a leveller, his thunderous shot from distance hitting the outside of the post. Johan Bakayoko left Mats Hummels on his backside and brought a fine one-handed stop from the keeper. Teze found himself through on goal but couldn't find a way past the Dortmund No. 1.

After Sancho went off with an injury concern — he later clarified it was a precaution — Reus entered the fray and made an immediate impact, his delivish free-kick volleyed in by Niclas Fullkrug. The slenderest of offsides denied him — that fine margin a fitting precursor for those final seconds.

When Teze's knockdown fell to De Jong, the Yellow Wall held its breath, but the striker powered his shot over the bar. When Dortmund's long goal kick found its way to Babadi, the substitute did a fine impression of Steven Gerrard in 2014, slipping as he turned in his own half and giving Reus a free run at goal. Just like Demba Ba at Anfield, Reus made no mistake.

De Jong, for sure, will replay that moment in his mind. Dortmund, fate apparently on their side, will now await the results of Friday's draw.
