NEWCASTLE, England: Borussia Dortmund rekindled their hopes in Champions League Group F with a gritty 1-0 victory at Newcastle United thanks to Felix Nmecha's clinical first-half strike on Wednesday (Oct 25).
Nmecha's first-time finish near the end of a high-octane opening half proved enough for the Bundesliga side to post their first win in the group at the third time of asking.
Newcastle had scored 18 goals in all competitions in seven home games this season, including four in a stunning demolition of PSG earlier this month. Anthony Gordon was dispossessed deep in Dortmund territory and the visitors launched a devastating counter-attack with Nico Schlotterbeck clipping back a pass for Nmecha to dispatch a first-time shot past Pope.
Wilson, who replaced the injured Alexander Isak early on, should have scored shortly after the break but fired his shot straight at Kobel.
