Lewandowski’s Brace Gives Dortmund Comfort
- Updated: February 26, 2014
Borussia Dortmund took a giant stride towards the Champions League quarter-finals with a comfortable last-16 first-leg win at Zenit St Petersburg.
Dortmund made a rapid start as Henrikh Mkhitaryan swept in a loose ball after a dangerous run from Marco Reus, who cracked in a second 77 seconds later.
Oleg Shatov’s low second-half shot gave Zenit hope, before Robert Lewandowski drilled in Dortmund’s third.
Hulk’s vicious penalty reduced the gap, only for Lewandowski to pounce again.
The Poland striker ensured the German side have a healthy – and fully deserved – two-goal advantage heading into next month’s second leg.
Dortmund, who were beaten by Bayern in last season’s Champions Leagues final at Wembley, dominated their Russian hosts as they put their domestic woes to one side in a ruthless attacking display.
Jurgen Klopp’s team have struggled in the Bundesliga this season, with the weekend’s 3-0 defeat at lowly Hamburg leaving them 20 points adrift of leaders Bayern.
