Real Madrid CF vs Borussia Dortmund - In Progress

[JoJiPoJi]

Estadio Santiago Bernabéu — Madrid
Referee: H. Webb

25′ - First booking of the match goes to Coentrao, and
it's a deserved one. The Portuguese goes over the top of
the ball and catches Lewandowski on the top of the foot.

 

[JoJiPoJi]

26′ - Jurgen Klopp is furious with that challenge! He
wants more than a yellow card for the Madrid man!

26′ - Yellow Card - Fabio Coentrao (Real Madrid CF)

 

[JoJiPoJi]

27′ - After a rip-roaring opening 27 minutes, Dortmund
have just started to feel their way back into the match. As I said, it was vital that Gundogan and Bender got on the ball more, and they have did just that. The visitors looking a lot
more calm now.

 

[JoJiPoJi]

28′ - Madrid will definitely be kicking themselves that
they didn't take advantage of their period of pressure at
the start of the match. They should be leading this game,
but their finishing has been poor.

 

[JoJiPoJi]

29′ - Once again we get a chorus of crazy boos from the
Madrid crowd as Dortmund take some time over the taking
of a throw-in. Just imagine how loud it will get in the
second half if the score remains the same!

 

[JoJiPoJi]

30′ - Wasteful from Di Maria. The Argentine down well
to take on Schmelzer down the right wing but cuts inside
and curls a nothing ball into the centre of the park. Bender
cleans up and slides the ball out to Reus out on the left.

 

[JoJiPoJi]

32′ - It looks like Dortmund may have weathered the
storm here. It would have been hard for Madrid to keep up
the extremely high tempo of their play, it was just too fast.
The German side has benefited, and they are just patiently
keeping the ball at the moment.

 

[JoJiPoJi]

33′ - Excellent interception from Gundogan. Ronaldo
turns swiftly just inside the Dortmund half and looks to
drive at pace towards goal, but the midfielder managed to
claw the ball back out from the feet of the Portuguese,
much to his frustration.

 

[JoJiPoJi]

34′ - Mourinho's men just aren't pressing at the
moment. They must be fairly knackered after their
swashbuckling start to the match!

 

[JoJiPoJi]

36′ - Ramos and Lewandowski is becoming a real battle
in the final third. The Spaniard leaves his mark on the
striker with a naughty forearm to the back of the head.

 

[JoJiPoJi]

37′ - The Madrid forward line are guilty of not
controlling their runs. Ronaldo and Higuain are both flagged for offside in quick succession despite looking right along the line. It's only natural they are eager to get forward but it's breaking down attacks.

 

[JoJiPoJi]

38′ - Poor pass from Grosskreutz. A potential
counterattack for BVB breaks down as the substitute hits a
heavy pass down the line for Reus. Would Gotze have got
that one right?

 

[JoJiPoJi]

39′ - Terrific goalkeeping again from Weidenfeller. The
towering Dortmund 'keeper gets off his line and commands
his area wonderfully by coming out to claim a dangerous
cross right off the head of Ronaldo.

40′ - Coentrao bursts up the touchline and looks to get
the better of Piszczek with a nutmeg inside, but the right-
back remains solid to put the ball out for a throw-in. Don't
think he was every falling for that one!

 

[JoJiPoJi]

41′ - Madrid are getting really frustrated by these
constant offside calls. To be fair to the officials though,
they are getting the vast majority correct.

 

[JoJiPoJi]

42′ - First Dortmund booking goes to Ilkay Gundogan for
a lunge on Di Maria. Another deserved yellow card.

43′ - Yellow Card - Ilkay Gündogan (Borussia Dortmund)
