Dortmund score four against shambolic Zenit

Borussia Dortmund got back on track with a 4-2 victory away to Zenit St Petersburg in the first leg of their last-16 clash in the Champions League.

Both first half goals came in the opening few minutes as Dortmund blitzed their lacklustre opponents, who performed dreadfully.In the fourth minute, Marco Reus picked up the ball on the inside right, stood up well to initial challenges to get to the box, and fell under the pressure of a defender. The ball rolled left for Henrikh Mkhitaryan, who dragged the ball into the far corner.Two minutes later, and Reus had a goal of his own. Nuri Sahin found the Germany international in space, and he drove a fierce shot in past the near post.Zenit pulled one back on 57 minutes. Receiving the ball in an offside position, Salomon Rondon missed his first chance, missed the ball on the second attempt, and then hit the post with his third. The ball came out to Oleg Shatov who found space between the bodies on the line to score.Four minutes later, Lewandowski restored the two-goal cushion for Dortmund, taking two touches to dispatch a return pass from Lukasz Piszczek.On 69 minutes, Hulk converted a penalty brilliantly after Piszczek blocked off Viktor Fayzulin’s run, but Lewandowski took 90 seconds to respond, finishing with a low shot across Yuri Lodygin. Dortmund can be confident of progressing to the next round.(uk.eurosport.yahoo.com)ANN.Az
