🔥Borussia Dortmund sweep aside a lacklustre Villarreal | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund made a statement in the UEFA Champions League by thrashing Villarreal 4-0 at Signal Iduna Park, seriously complicating the "Yellow Submarine's" aspirations in the competition. The result, in matchday 5 of the league phase, was a demonstration of the German team's offensive prowess.

The match remained a tense 0-0 until the brink of halftime, despite Dortmund's dominance in possession. The first goal came agonizingly in the 45'+2 minute, when Serhou Guirassy scored for the home team, capitalizing on a rebound.

The second half was a nightmare for Villarreal. In the 50th minute, Juan Foyth was sent off after a VAR review, leaving Marcelino García Toral's team with ten players and facing an uphill battle.

The numerical advantage was immediately felt. Dortmund scored the 2-0 and 3-0 in quick succession, with Serhou Guirassy securing a brace, despite having missed a penalty. The goals that sealed the rout were scored by Karim Adeyemi and Daniel Svensson (in the 75th and 77th minutes, respectively).

The resounding 4-0 gives Borussia Dortmund a very favorable position in their group, while Villarreal is left with only one point and virtually eliminated from the Champions League, lamenting the missed opportunity and mistakes at Signal Iduna Park.
