Dortmund advances to Champions League quarterfinals with 2-1 win at Lille
Borussia Dortmund reached the Champions League quarterfinals by beating Lille 2-1, overcoming an early deficit Wednesday to set up a final-eight matchup against Barcelona.
Last season’s runner-up advanced 3-2 on aggregate after last week’s 1-1 draw in the round-of-16 first leg in Germany.
Maximilian Beier’s winner in the 65th minute came shortly after teammate Emre Can had equalized from the penalty spot. Can converted in the 54th after former Dortmund player Thomas Meunier took down Serhou Guirassy inside the area.
Lille, which has never reached the quarterfinals, led from the fifth minute when Canada forward Jonathan David’s shot went through the legs of goalkeeper Gregor Kobel.
