The second leg of the Champions League play-off between Borussia Dortmund and Sporting Lisbon did not provide the spectators with a valid goal. While BVB went into the game with a comfortable 3:0 lead and were able to take it easy, you got the feeling that the Portuguese had already packed their bags before kick-off ... 

Borussia Dortmund are through to the last 16 of the Champions League. After their 3-0 away win against Sporting Lisbon the previous week, a 0-0 home draw against the Portuguese side was enough for the Germans to book their place in the last 16. Marcel Sabitzer was substituted for the home side in the 89th minute on Wednesday and received the only yellow card of the match.

The ÖFB international failed to beat Sporting goalkeeper Rui Silva in the 27th minute and shot over the bar shortly before the break. Serhou Guirassy missed the best chance for BVB, who had been in crisis recently, when he failed to beat Rui Silva with a penalty (59'). Dortmund will now face Aston Villa or Lille in the round of 16, with the draw taking place on Friday.
