Dortmund Crush Villarreal 4-0, All but Ending Their Champions League Bid

Villarreal now need other results to go their way to keep faint qualifying hopes alive.

Overview

  • Borussia Dortmund beat Villarreal 4-0 in a Champions League group match at the Westfalenstadion on Matchday 5.
  • Serhou Guirassy scored in first-half stoppage time and again in the 54th minute by converting a rebound after his penalty was saved.
  • Juan Foyth was sent off for denying a goal with his arm on the line, conceding the penalty that put Dortmund two up.
  • Karim Adeyemi added a deflected third in the 58th minute, Fabio Silva struck the crossbar from a later penalty, and Svensson made it four at 90+5.
  • The heavy loss leaves Villarreal virtually out of contention despite strong domestic form, with their European campaign now hanging by a thread.
