DORTMUND EASES TO 4-0 WIN OVER GALATASARAY IN CHAMPIONS LEAGUE
13:19, 23 Oct 2014
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored twice as Borussia Dortmund exploited
poor defending to beat Galatasaray 4-0 in the Champions League on Oct.
22.
Dortmund's third victory in three matches strengthened its grip on
Group D with nine points. Arsenal beat Anderlecht 2-1 and is second
with six. Anderlecht and Galatasaray have one each.
Aubameyang opened the scoring in the sixth minute, when he tapped in a
cross from Marco Reus, and doubled the lead in the 18th with another
simple strike from close range. Reus scored the third in the 41st by
curling in a spectacular shot from more than 20 meters.
Adrian Ramos added the fourth in the 83rd, one minute after coming
on for Shinji Kagawa, who had set up Reus.
All four goals came after woeful defending by Galatasaray. "We were
very efficient," Dortmund's captain Mats Hummels said. "We had two
early chances and we scored from both of them, and then of course
it's easier to play. We also wanted to play good defense and we did."
Aubameyang was left with a simple tap-in on the first goal when Reus
had plenty of space to cross. On the second, Henrikh Mkhitaryan sent
Lukasz Piszczek racing and the defender had plenty of time to find
Aubameyang.
Neven Subotic made a big clearance in front of Burak Yılmaz, then
Aubameyang hit the post from close range from another Mkhitaryan pass.
Reus was left unchallenged when he fired his goal and Ramos also
had plenty of space to place his shot after a good through ball from
Ä°lkay Gundogan, another substitute who is coming back after missing
14 months with a back injury.
Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp believes his side still have a
lot to work to do to in the Champions League, despite their 4-0 win
at Galatasaray.
Dortmund sit top of Group D and are potentially only a point away
from qualifying for the last 16, but Klopp was still not completely
happy as they bounced back from successive Bundesliga defeats on
Wednesday night.
"I wouldn't say it was as easy as it looked," he said at the post-match
press conference. "We scored the goals at the right time, but it
certainly wasn't easy tonight. We're light years from perfection,
even if it is extraordinary to win 4-0 away from home in the Champions
League."
Klopp now hopes his side can replicate their European form
domestically, where in eight games this season they have picked up
two points fewer than in just three Champions League outings.
"Certainly we're not going to give away any more room, or at least
that's the plan," Klopp added. "We must not concede such easy goals
any more. We've got to be ready to get dirty wins, and that is going
to be the case from now on."
