The ball whizzed straight to the upper left corner of the goal. Mkhitaryan's shot was powerful and fast.

Casillas was no longer young, and his body could not keep up with his reaction speed.

When he flew to save the ball, it was too late. The ball flew into the goal like a flash of lightning.

4:0!

Watching the ball go into the net, Mkhitaryan was so excited that he ran to the stands and celebrated wildly with the fans.

"4:0! This was a feast of goals. Dortmund had scored four goals before the end of the first half."

Brown was very excited. He hadn't seen Dortmund play such a hearty attack for a long time.

The little bees in the stands cheered loudly. This is the Europa League, the second-tier league in Europe.

Tuchel sat comfortably on the bench on the sidelines. This game was stable and he basically had nothing to worry about.

After Mkhitaryan scored, Porto launched another crazy offensive.

Dortmund's players defended the 30-meter area tightly. No matter how Porto people infiltrated with short passes or rushed through the flanks with speed, they could not break through Dortmund's heavy defense.

The referee finally blew the whistle to end the first half of the game, and the first half of the game was over.

Porto players, who were four goals behind, returned to the locker room angrily, but Dortmund players interacted with the fans for a minute before going to the locker room.

The halftime break was very short. After a while, the players from both sides returned to the court.

At the beginning of the second half, Dortmund served the ball from the center circle.

After adjustments in the midfield, Porto launched a fierce press against Dortmund.

Unlike the press in the first half when the score was behind, Porto's press is now more organized and no longer as impatient as in the first half.

They pressed on three lines to compress Dortmund's passing space.

Players running without the ball also paid attention to cutting off Dortmund's passing lines and guarding against Dortmund players who might receive the ball at the far end.

In this way, they wanted to prevent Dortmund players from passing the ball and force them to make long passes.

For a while, Dortmund's players did not react and made frequent mistakes.

Hummels was the first to notice that the opponent's press had escalated, and it was no longer a mindless press and attack.

He shouted loudly to his teammates:"Increase running and don't let them pass the ball!"

With his shout, all the players began to convey the captain's instructions.

"Run, run!"

All of a sudden, all the Dortmund players on the field became active, running more actively than at the beginning of the game.

Although Porto made adjustments in the midfield, they only learned the form.

They could still make do with pressing, but the penetration and interspersed movements in the middle were far from satisfactory.

When the Dortmund players started moving, the Porto players could only pass the ball back and forth in the midfield and backcourt, and could not pose any threat to Dortmund's goal at all.

As time went on, Porto's head coach began to feel confused.

The new tactics did not work and could not be played.

Porto's players began to feel impatient again, and the result of the game was self-evident.

Ten minutes into the second half passed unknowingly, and Porto was eager to score a goal. It also started to get bigger.

For a while, there were more and more actions such as raising legs too high, showing soles of shoes, elbowing, and tripping.

Playing in their home court, Dortmund is in the lead again, and of course they will not admit defeat.

The physical strength of Dortmund's defenders is not comparable to that of Porto players.

For a while, the players on both sides of the field became more and more tense, and they began to push and shove each other. In the 58th minute of the game, Sahin and Weigl sandwiched Varela.

Sahin stole the ball from Varela's feet and dribbled forward.

After catching up with Varela in anger, Varela gave Sahin a scissor kick.

Sahin screamed and fell to the ground. The Dortmund fans in the stands immediately refused to stand it and scolded Varela in unison.

"Foul, foul!"

"Send him off!"

"You will break your legs if you do this!"

The fans were angry, and the Dortmund players on the field were even angrier.

Hummels, Papastathopoulos, and Schmelzer quickly surrounded Varela.

After Weigl rushed up, he pushed Varela hard.

When the referee Banti saw Varela committing a foul, he immediately stopped the game.

He originally ran over to check on Sahin's situation and show Varela a yellow card.

When he saw the Porto players also rushing up, he immediately stood in the middle, separated everyone, and showed Varela a yellow card.

Dortmund fans were of course not satisfied, and they protested to the referee, believing that Porto's foul was malicious and must be given a red card.

Tuchel on the sidelines was very worried about Sahin's situation at this time. The team doctor had already come on the court, and he turned his head to glance at the bench.

The only midfielders who could play were Moritz and Kagawa, which made him a little entangled.

In the end, he said to Moritz:"Go get ready!"

Moritz was very happy when he heard it. He took off his substitute vest and got ready.

Sahin was finally carried off the field, and Moritz rushed onto the field with an acceleration.

Moritz is a player from Munich 1860 Youth Training. He became a Dortmund player on a free transfer in 2011.

As a midfielder, he is a defensive midfielder.

But Dortmund is not short of excellent midfielders. After Moritz signed with Dortmund, he basically trained outside. He was loaned to Augsburg and Stuttgart successively. Now in Dortmund, Tuchel also wants to see his performance on the field and whether he is suitable for the current team.

Kagawa is indeed strong. Now that they are leading by a large score, it doesn't make much sense to let him play. Tuchel certainly has a concern. Although it is just a guess, he doesn't want Kagawa and Yonemoto to be on the field at the same time. He wants to eliminate all hidden dangers.

After Dortmund restarted, they attacked Porto's backcourt directly.

Brahimi suddenly fell when he retreated to defend.

Seeing someone fall, Mkhitaryan kicked the ball out of the sideline.

Banti stopped the game.

After asking, he asked the team doctor.

The referee Banie saw that the situation was not good and started to make a heavy hand. The dazzling cooperation attacked within the range of 35 meters in front of the goal.
