Dortmund vs Real Madrid 2012-2013 Champions League Semi-Final
First Leg
On April 24 2013, Borussia Dortmund faced Real Madrid in the first leg of their 2012-2013 Champions League semi-final clash. The match was played at the Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund, Germany.
Dortmund started the match brightly and took the lead in the 12th minute through Robert Lewandowski's header. The Polish striker then doubled Dortmund's advantage in the 20th minute, before Marco Reus made it three just before half-time.
Real Madrid pulled one back just after the hour mark through Karim Benzema, but it was not enough to prevent Dortmund from taking a commanding 4-1 lead into the second leg at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Conclusion
Dortmund's victory was a stunning result, and it left Real Madrid with a mountain to climb in the second leg. The Spanish giants will need to score at least three goals without reply in order to progress to the final, and they will also need to be wary of Dortmund's counter-attacking threat.
